The importance of the Clerkâs position was underlined by Lord Justice Caldecote ruling in Hurle-Hobbs ex parte Riley and another (1944) observed: âThe office of town clerk is an important part of the machinery of local government.
Along with the other three muscles of mastication (temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid), the masseter is innervated by the anterior division of the mandibular division (V3) of the trigeminal nerve.
It covers the majority of the temporal bone and lesser portions of the frontal and parietal bones. The upper margin of the muscle follows the superior temporal line. Insertion: The temporal muscle inserts on the coronoid process of the mandible.Action: The temporal muscle acts in unison with the masseter and internal pterygoid muscles to close the jaws. Very importantly, it also helps to retrude or pull back the mandible.he depressors of the mandible act to open the lower jaw widely, a function which the muscles of mastication cannot perform. MUSCLES OF MASTICATION There are four paired muscles of mastication. They are the masseters, the temporals, the internal pterygoids, and the external pterygoids.
