The primary muscles of mastication are the temporalis, masseter and medial and lateral pterygoids.
Medial pterygoid is attached to the medial aspect of the mandible.
The superior lateral pterygoid muscle originates on the infratemporal surface of the greater wing to the sphenoid, medial to the infratemporal crest.

 Monograph 13 ~ TMJ TRAUMA AND ITS REHABILITATION
The location of associated muscle spasm in TMJ dysfunction according to incidence is in the external pterygoid, internal pterygoid, masseter, posterior cervical, temporalis, sternomastoideus, trapezius, and mylohyoid.
The external pterygoid will normally be felt to tighten and relax as the patient opens and closes the mouth.
The middle fibers of the temporalis muscles between the eye and the upper ear, the body portion of the masseter muscles, and the external pterygoid muscle are palpated after the patient has opened the mouth.

 Palatine bone
The palatine bone is a bone situated at the back part of the nasal cavity between the maxilla and the pterygoid process of the sphenoid.
The lateral surface is divided into an articular and a non-articular portion: the former is rough, for articulation with the medial pterygoid plate; the latter is smooth, and forms part of the pterygo palatine fossa.
2] presents a deep groove, the edges of which are serrated for articulation with the medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid.

The deeper and larger medial pterygoid muscle courses from the medial side of the plate to the angle of the mandible.
Follow a similar procedure for removing or reflecting the medial pterygoid muscle, so that the mandibular nerve can be seen entering the infratemporal fossa through the foremen ovate.
Through its course It usually lies lateral (superficially to the lateral pterygoid muscle, but it can sometimes lie on the deep side of the muscle.

 On The Theory of the Vertebrate Skull (1859)
But this pterygoid is, in the adult frog, a large bone, which, on the one hand, stretches down on the inner side of the quadrate cartilage, and, on the other, sends a process inwards and upwards, which nearly reaches the base of the skull.
If the pterygoid, transverse, and metapterygoid of the fish were anchylosed into one bone, or if the corresponding region of the primitive cartilage were continuously ossified, the result would be a bone perfectly similar to the pterygoid of the frog; and I entertain no doubt that the amphibian pterygoid does really represent these bones.
From the anterior edge of the proximal half of this pedicle, the narrow cartilaginous basis of the pterygoid passes forwards and [558] upwards, to become directly continuous with the palatine bone in the frog, but to stop short of that point in the newt.

 Lecture Notes - Infratemporal Fossa
Arthritis of the TMJ could affect the tone of the lateral pterygoid muscle producing TRISMUS or muscle spasm.
MEDIAL PTERYGOID: stretches from the pterygoid fossa (sphenoid bone) to the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible below the mandibular foramen (insertion).
Hazards concerning this injection technique include the introduction of infected needles or solutions into the area, or penetration of the pterygoid plexus of veins (which is slightly posterior to the injection site) resulting in the formation of large hematomas.

Frequently, when a lateral pterygoid muscle becomes dysfunctional, it will cause pressure and pain in and around the nasal passages and sinuses, and can be called a sinus headache.
By doing so, the myofascial dysfunction of the temporalis' and lateral pterygoids and strain on the jaw joint is prevented, thereby preventing headaches, toothaches, neck pain, ear conditions, and jaw pain.
As the lateral pterygoid becomes dysfunctional from all this over-activity, the pressure and strain that that is created is focused in the jaw joint space.

 Temporomandibular and Orofacial Disorders: A Functional Perspective
Lateral pterygoid muscle and its relationship to the meniscus of the temporomandibular joint.
To limit application to the lateral pterygoid, however, is not sufficient in treating most TMD.
Assessing for early protrusion is an excellent screen for muscle imbalance when encountering orofacial pain (see Figure II).
http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/16/12/04.html

  
 Pathomechanics of the TMD
Protrusive mandibular movements represent a coordinated effort of the inferior bellies of the lateral pterygoid muscles, the bilateral anterior digastric muscles and the medial pterygoids.
Further, the infrahyoid muscles (sternohyoid, omohyoid, sternothyroid and thyrohyoid) fix the hyoid bone thereby assisting in mouth opening.
The disc then effectively rotates forward as it translates posteriorly during the condyle's movement back and up into the mandibular fossa.

 Sphenoid bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The plates are separated below by an angular cleft, the pterygoid fissure, the margins of which are rough for articulation with the pyramidal process of the palatine bone.
Each bone articulates in front with the ethmoid, laterally with the palatine; its pointed posterior extremity is placed above the vomer, and is received between the root of the pterygoid process laterally and the rostrum of the sphenoid medially.
Superiorly the medial plate is prolonged on to the under surface of the body as a thin lamina, named the vaginal process, which articulates in front with the sphenoidal process of the palatine and behind this with the ala of the vomer.

 Testudines
Within those turtles in which the pterygoid forms the canalis caroticus internus, the plesiochelyids have a thin floor, here interpreted as the primitive condition.
All cryptodirans have a vertical flange on the external process of the pterygoid.
This is also the case in Proganochelys and Kayentachelys (for Pleurodire condition see below) (Gaffney, 1990).

They are separated from one another by the vomer, and each is bounded above by the body of the sphenoid, below by the horizontal part of the palatine bone, and laterally by the medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid.
The medial pterygoid plate is long and narrow; on the lateral side of its base is the scaphoid fossa, for the origin of the Tensor veli palatini, and at its lower extremity the hamulus, around which the tendon of this muscle turns.
The pterygomaxillary fissure is vertical, and descends at right angles from the medial end of the preceding; it is a triangular interval, formed by the divergence of the maxilla from the pterygoid process of the sphenoid.

The most intense contaction of the lateral pterygoid applying the most strain to the joint and facial bones is when the temporalis' contraction is providing significant occluding resistance to the lateral pterygoid, without letting the mandible shift freely.

Figure 7.  Bilateral enophthalmos is present in this 7-year-old spayed female Golden Retriever with chronic masticatory myositis.  Note the severe atrophy of the masseter and temporalis muscles resulting in a prominent zygomatic arch.  Mild entropion of both upper eyelids and trichiasis of the upper eyelashes secondary to enophthalmos is present.
Figure 6.  Bilateral exophthalmos and protrusion of the third eyelids are attributable to substantial inflammation of the temporalis, masseter, and medial pterygoid muscles in this 10-month-old male Miniature Dachshund with acute masticatory muscle myositis.
Masticatory myositis occurs most commonly in Shetland sheepdogs, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Weimaraners, but any other canine breed may be affected.  This disease has not been reported in cats.  The disease involves the masseter, temporalis and pterygoid muscles (i.e., muscle of mastication—those muscles innervated by V3).

 Medial pterygoid muscle
The insertion of this muscle is also lateral to its origin, so the muscle fibers can move the mandible in lateral excursions.
The medial pterygoid is almost a mirror image of the masseter muscle.
The medial pterygoid acts with the masseter to elevate.

 Musculature Function versus Parafunction
Following a functional movement (4), the musculature is intended to relax, before continuing with another functional masticatory movement.
This "excursive clenching" is the most damaging activity to the structures that lateral pterygoids are attached to: the TMJ complex, and the pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone (often presenting as sinus and facial symptoms).
When one temporalis contracts in conjunction with an opposite lateral pterygoid (4), the result is a functional movement, necessary for mastication.
