Hey guys,
I'm looking for a good mnemonic for the muscles of mastication/swallowing innervated by V3. Not satisfied by the ones on the net. Any1 have any good ones?
The muscles are:
Masseter
Temportalis
Medial Ptergoid
Lateral Ptergoid
Anterior Belly of Digastric
Mylohyoid (swallowing)

*Thanks 4 your help!*
 
If you know all the muscle names, you are set! From what our school taught, all these are innervated by the nerve to the ----- fill in the blank. We were also told they were all from the branchiomotor division of V3. No special names though. Hope this helped.

Massateric MATT

Masseter
Temporalis
Lateral pterygoid
Medial pterygoid

Mylohyoid
Anterior digastric
Tensor tympani
Tensor veli palatini
 
the other way to do it is that its the nerves of twos.

2 tensors (tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini)
2 pterygoids (lateral, medial)
2 jaw closing muscles (masseter, temporalis)
2 under the tongue (anterior digastric, mylohyoid)
 
we learned them as MAST MATT

Mastication muscles:
Masseter
Temporalis
Lateral and Medial Pterygoids

MATT:
Mylohyoid
Anterior belly of the digastric
Tensor tympani
Tensor veli palatini

Hope it helps.. :luck:
 
If you recognize patterns of innervations and/or embryological derivatives it makes it way easier to learn (at least for me) and actually starts to make (a little) sense why things are the way they are.
 
There's flexors digitorum superficialis, digitorum profundus, and pollicis longus. Both the thenars and hypothenars. Then there's ... oh wait, you said muscles of mastication. My mistake ...
