pterygoid process
The pterygoid process is part of the human skull, stemming from the sphenoid bone, which is located at the base of the skull. It consists of two sections: the lateral pterygoid plate and the medial pterygoid plate. These landmarks serve as points of attachment for the pterygoid muscles, which are involved in jaw movement.
