Question

A muscle used in chewing is the _______.
A) quadriceps femoris
B) masseter
C) zygomatic
D) frontalis

Accepted Answer

The masseter muscle is responsible for the movement of the jaw during chewing. The quadriceps femoris is a large muscle located in the thigh and has no direct involvement in chewing. The zygomatic is a bone in the skull, not a muscle. The frontalis muscle is located in the forehead and is responsible for raising the eyebrows and wrinkling the forehead, not involved in chewing.
