Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The buccinator is not a muscle of mastication; it is primarily involved in controlling the position of food in the mouth during chewing and is also important in speech and blowing. The temporalis, masseter, and medial and lateral pterygoids are all muscles of mastication, involved in the movement of the jaw for chewing.
