Muscles that elevate the angle of the mouth?
The maxillary angle and palate shape are crucial in determining the mouth size and feeding adaptations of different species. A wider maxillary angle typically allows for a larger mouth opening, facilitating the consumption of larger prey or food items. Conversely, a narrower angle may indicate a smaller mouth suited for specific diets or feeding strategies. Additionally, the shape of the palate can influence the mechanical advantage of the jaw muscles, further affecting feeding efficiency and dietary preferences across species.
The term that means "slanted" or "at an angle" in muscle names is "oblique." This term is commonly used in anatomy to describe muscles that are oriented at an angle to the body's midline, such as the external and internal oblique muscles of the abdomen. These muscles play essential roles in trunk rotation and lateral flexion.

The temporalis and masseter muscles are the primary muscles responsible for raising the mandible (lower jaw) during the process of chewing or biting. These muscles work together to produce the necessary force to close the mouth and elevate the mandible.
