**Question 1**

What is the name of the muscle indicated by the arrow, and what is its insertion?

---

In the provided image, a muscular system model of the human head and neck is displayed. An arrow points to one of the muscles on the side of the face, near the cheek area.

- **Muscle Identification**: The arrow indicates the masseter muscle.
- **Insertion**: The masseter muscle inserts at the angle and lateral surface of the ramus of the mandible.

This muscle plays a crucial role in the process of mastication (chewing), allowing the elevation of the mandible.
