coronoid process of the mandible

It arises from the side of the skull and inserts into the coronoid process of the mandible.

It passes medial to the zygomatic arch and inserts onto the coronoid process of the mandible.

The coronoid process of the mandible is said to be more hooked in the false potto than in the potto and slow loris.

Its fibers pass downward and forward, to be inserted into the upper half of the ramus and the lateral surface of the coronoid process of the mandible.

The other three muscles close the mouth; the masseter and the medial pterygoid by pulling up the angle of the mandible and the temporalis by pulling up on the coronoid process of the mandible .
