Temporal

Temporal - (from the Latin temporalis - related to time) is a medical term that combines various names for parts of the face containing the temporal muscles and passing around the ear.

These are the muscles of the palate, nasal septum, masticatory and facial muscles, which have a vertical arrangement of fibers and lie in the buccal-temporal, fronto-orbital-masticatory and distal temporal fascia. In the temporal region of the head, they are located on the sides of the eye and form a significant angle with the horizontal line that intersects them. The temporal covers predominantly the maxilla, but it also extends down to the medial edge of the orbit. This muscle stretches in the maxillo-ear fold between the ear and the side of the soft tissues of the head. The temporal muscle is the largest of the three muscles that make up the masseter system of the human head. It has three heads, anterior, posterior and middle, which are not anatomically connected and are anatomically connected to many other structures of the head and face. This helps it cut through the skin and can serve as a conduit for bacterial infection. Below is an overview illustration of the muscles of this group.

Main function The temporal muscle serves to pull the upper jaw towards the palate and reduce the distance between the maxillary palate and the left and right temporal processes of the lower jaw. The function is closely related to lip biting, chewing food and blinking eyelashes. These movements can promote the movement of blood within this vessel; this may increase
