Human anatomy is the scientific study of the human body's structures. A grasp of anatomy is essential for practicing medicine and other fields of health care. The term "anatomy" is derived from the Greek terms "ana," which means "up," and "tome," which means "a cutting." Anatomy studies have traditionally entailed dissecting or cutting apart organisms. Imaging technology, on the other hand, can now teach a lot about how the interior of a body operates, eliminating the need for dissection.The masseter muscle elevates the mandible and approximates the teeth; moreover, the masseter's intermediate and deep muscular fibers retract the mandible. Furthermore, the superficial fibers work to protrude the mandible. The lateral pterygoid muscle has a lower and upper head. The upper head develops from the infratemporal surface and infratemporal crest of the larger wing of the sphenoid bone. Hyoglossus is a quadrangular muscle that arises from the body and larger horn of the hyoid bone. The styloid process extends from the inferior section of the petrous temporal bone and connects to the stylohyoid ligament as well as the stylopharyngeus, stylohyoid, and styloglossus muscles. Hence, the blanks can be filled with masseter, sphenoid, hyoglossus, and attaches.
