		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.
		Upon the medial side of the mastoid process is the mastoid notch for the posterior belly of the Digastricus, and medial to the notch, the occipital groove for the occipital artery.
		It presents medially the trochlear fovea for the attachment of the cartilaginous pulley of the Obliquus oculi superior; laterally, the lacrimal fossa for the lacrimal gland; and posteriorly, the suture between the frontal bone and the small wing of the sphenoid.

	Mastication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mastication is chiefly possible thanks to powerful muscles, masseter and temporalis, as well as smaller muscles that allow fine control.
		Chewing food is a complex technique, muscles need to be powerful enough to break tough portions of food, yet have enough dexterity to not injure the tongue, and to clear the mouth completely.
		Temporalis is a muscle attached to the temporal fossa (on the side of the skull) and connects to the coronoid process of the mandible.

		The pterygoids, though both bearing distinct articular surfaces for communication with the parasphenoid, have little else in common.
		In Anseriformes the parasphenoid articular surface is medial and elongate.
		In contrast, the parasphenoid articular surfaces in Galliformes exhibit medial fusion as cartilaginous condensations and are outgrowths of the parasphenoid rostrum itself.
