2 Muscle of mastication- Lateral Lowers- lateral pterygoid is the one that opens
the jaw
4 Muscles of Mastication MTPP( which could be read as "Empty Peepee") -masseter,
temporal, lateral and medial pterygoids --

Cranial Bones
Annoying, aren't they?
The cranial bones are the PEST OF 6...
Parietal, Ethmoid,Sphenoid,Temporal,Occipital,Frontal- 6 ? (6-the number of
