Sphenomandibularis
The sphenomandibularis is a muscle attaching to the sphenoid bone and the mandible.[1][2] It is a muscle of mastication.[3] Unlike most of the muscles of the human body, which had been categorized several centuries ago, the sphenomandibularis was discovered in the mid-1990s at the University of Maryland at Baltimore.[4][5] The findings were published in 1996. The sphenomandibularis is considered by many sources to be a portion of the temporalis, rather than a distinct muscle.[4][6][7]
