What is another word for jaw muscle?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɔː mˈʌsə͡l] (IPA) 
The jaw muscle is an essential part of the human body that helps in chewing, talking, and even swallowing. It is also known as the masseter muscle, the temporal muscle or the zygomatic arch. These synonyms are used interchangeably to describe this powerful and robust muscle that attaches to the jawbone and the cheekbone. The masseter muscle is responsible for the most powerful muscle activity in the body, while the temporal muscle is located on the sides of the head and is responsible for opening and closing the jaw. On the other hand, the zygomatic arch muscle is more involved in facial expressions and movements. Despite their differences, all these muscles work together to allow efficient and smooth functioning of the jaw.
