The buccinator muscle elevates the mandible. The greater wing of the sphenoid bone is one of the attachments of the lateral pterygoid muscle. The styloglossus muscle attaches to the temporal bone on the styloid process. The masseter muscle depresses the tongue. The hyoglossus muscle is on the maxilla.
