scap ms
- UT, levator scap

27
Q

what cervical joints impact the TMJ

A

AO joint
cervical facet joints

28
Q

what ms are involved in elevation

A

masseter
temporalis
medial pterygoid
lateral pterygoid (superior fibers)

29
Q

what ms are involved with depression

A

lateral pterygoid (inferior fibers)
suprahyoids
infrahyoids

30
Q

what ms are involved with protrusion

A

masseter (superficial fibers)
medial pterygoid
lateral pterygoid

31
Q

what ms are involved w retrusion/retraction

A

masseter (deep fibers)
temporalis
suprahyoids (digastric)

32
Q

what ms are involved in lateral excursion

A

ipsi temporalis (uni contxn)
ipsi masseter (uni contxn)
contra med pterygoid (uni)
contra lat pterygoid (uni)

33
Q

what is the osseous articulation of the TMJ

A

superior aspect of mandibular condyle on mandibular fossa of the temporal bone

34
Q

what is the signficance of the coronoid process

A

important landmark for attachment poitns

35
Q

how is the fibrocartilage structured and what is the importance of this

A

high density collagen content which allows for repetitive forces thru jaw to be withstood

moving it constantly w talking, eating, swallowing
- have to withstand repetition and force of eating

36
Q

where is the fibrous capsule in relationship to the disc

A

fibrous capsule attaches to entire periphery of disc

37
Q

anterior articulations of the TMJ disc

A

temporal bone (articular eminence)
mandibular condyle
superior head of lat ptery

38
Q

posterior articulation of TMJ disc

A

retrodiscal lamina

39
Q

what is the main function of the fibrocartilage surrounding the TMJ disc

A

dissipate and endure loads and stresses

40
Q

why does the TMJ disc have such a high water content

A

dissipate forces

mobile when loaded
- if load front part of disc, water contents move post

41
Q

how does the thickness of the disc change and why

A

thin intermediate region
- accommodates convexity of condyle

thicker anteriorly and posteriorly
- maximize congruency to dec pressure

biconclave shape that accommodates the convexity of the joint and inc the surface area

42
Q

how does the vascularity and innervation change throughout the disc

A

thin intermediate region is avascular and not innervated
- can’t have pain which is good bc that is what contacts the fossa

thicker ant and post is vascular and innervated -> source of pain

43
Q

how does the elasticity change throughout the disc and how does this impact the functioning

A

superior portion elastic
- stretches w opening

inferior portion less elastic
- stabilizes joint

44
Q

what motions compose mastication

A

elevation and depression w lateral excursion and protrusion
- random and asymmetrical combo

45
Q

what does mastication cause at the jiont

A

joint compression

46
Q

what is mastication

A

tearing, chewing, and grinding motions via coordination of all ms

47
Q

what are the arthrokinematics of depression

A

early phase - post rotation
late phase
- rotation
- ant and inf translation of condyle and disc together

48
Q

when is there the greatest ligamentous tension in the TMJ joint

A

maximal opening

49
Q

how much motion is there in the early phase of depression

A

0-26mm

50
Q

how much motion is there in the late phase of depression

A

26-50mm

51
Q

what functions are possible with <10mm of depression

A

can only drink

52
Q

what functions are possible with 10-20mm of depression

A

push food in mouth

53
Q

what functions are possible with 20-30mm of depression

A

can eat food using fingers

54
Q

what functions are possible with 30-38mm of depression

A

can use fork and small pieces

55
Q

what functions are possible with >38mm of depression

A

can eat normally

56
Q

what initiates the arthrokinematics of elevation

A

tension in retrodiscal ligament

57
Q

what are the arthrokinematics of elevation

A

condylar head and disc translate post and superiorly

condylar body rotates ant

slight ant rotation of disc d/t eccentric contraction of superior head of lateral ptery (helps to sit back into place)

58
Q

what is the closed pack position of the TMJ

A

teeth clenched
- greatest joint congruency

59
Q

arthrokinematics of lateral excursion

A

ipsilateral condyle
- rotation/spine

contralateral condyle
- translation

60
Q

arthrokinematics of protrusion

A

ant translation

61
Q

arthrokinematics of retrusion

A

post translation

62
Q

what are protrusion and retrusion important components of respectively

A

protrusion - max opening
retrusion - max closing

63
Q

what ROM is necessary for protrusion and why

A

26mm
at the end range of opening
