Lateral pterygoid muscle

The video tutorial discusses the lateral teragrid muscle, a jaw muscle located on the mandible's inner surface. It highlights the anatomy, including its two heads and innervation by the lateral teratoid nerve. The muscle's unique ability to open the jaw, unlike other mastication muscles, is explained. The video also covers the muscle's role in jaw protrusion and lateral movement, aiding in chewing. Additional resources for further learning are provided.
