Buccinator, frontalis, masseter and temporalis are muscles. Mastication does not belong because it is a process. Mastication or chewing is the process by which food is crushed and ground by teeth. It is the first step of digestion and it increases the surface area of foods to allow more efficient break down by enzymes. ChaCha!
