4. Ingestion of a Meal Flashcards
BONES of MASTICATION:
- MAXILLA
- MANDIBLE
- TEMPORAL
- HYOID
- SKULL
- SPINE
which MUSCLES of MASTICATION CLOSE the Jaw
- TEMPORALIS
from temporal fossa, inserts onto coronoid process of mandible - MASSETER
from zygomatic process of maxilla, insets into the angle and ramus of the mandible
what does the TEMPORALIS MUSCLE do and where is it ATTACHED (from/to)
CLOSES the JAW
- arises FROM TEMPORAL FOSSA
- INSERTS onto CORONOID PROCESS of MANDIBLE
what does the MASSETER MUSCLE do and where is it ATTACHED (from/to)
CLOSES the JAW
- arises FROM ZYGOMATIC PROCESS of MAXILLA
- INSERTS into the ANGLE and RAMUS of MANDIBLE
which MUSCLES of MASTICATION OPEN the JAW
- LATERAL PTERYGOID
arises from Sphenoid, insets onto Condyloid process of Mandible - DIGASTRIC
(double belly) connect Jaw and Skull to the Hyoid
Posterior: arises from mastoid notch
Anterior: arises from Lower border of Mandible - INFRAHYOID
(strap) (4 pairs of muscle)
connects Hyoid to Clavicle
what does LATERAL PTERYGOID MUSCLE do and where does it ATTACH
OPENS JAW
attaches from SPHENOID
onto CONDYLOID PROCESS of MANDIBLE
what does DIGASTRIC MUSCLE do and where does it ATTACH/CONNECT
OPENS JAW
Double:
POSTERIOR - connects MASTOID NOTCH (skull) to HYOID
ANTERIOR- connects Lower border of MANDIBLE to HYOID
jaw and skull to hyoid
DIGASTRIC MUSCLE CONNECTS the Mandible/jaw and Skull (Mastoid Notch) to the…
HYOID bone
INFRAHYOID MUSCLE has how many Pairs of muscle
4 PAIRS
what does INFRAHYOID MUSLCE do and what does it CONNECT
OPENS JAW
connects HYOID to CLAVICLE
INFRAHYOID MUSCLE connects HYOID to the…
CLAVICLE
LATERAL PTERYGOID MUSCLE attaches the SPHENOID to the …. of the MANDIBLE
CONDYLOID PROCESS of Mandible
MASSETER MUSCLE arises from the … of the MAXILLA and inserts into the … and … of the MANDIBLE
ZYGOMATIC PROCESS of Maxilla
to
ANGLE and RAMUS of MANDIBLE
ALL MUSCLES of MASTICATION are INNERVATED by …
MANDIBULAR BRANCH of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE (V)
The PURPOSE of MASTICATION is to…
reduce food to a SWALLOWABLE BOLUS
and
COAT IT with MUCUS (safely swallow without damaging/scratching oesophagus)
is MASTICATION Voluntary or Involuntary
VOLUNTARY
how are the CONTROLS of MASTICATION
- VOLUNTARY
- REFLEXES - jaw unloading reflex (open), jaw-jerk reflex (close)
- BRAIN STEM PATTERN GENERATOR allows for Ability to chew
- FINE TUNING of chewing movements via SENSORY PROPRIOCEPTIVE FEEDBACK through PERIODONTAL LIGAMENTS and PROPRIOCEPTORS
- a CHANGE in OCCLUSION (way your teeth meet when your jaws bite together eg following dentistry) will ALTER CHEWING PATTERN
we develop the ABILITY to CHEW through..
BRAIN STEM PATTERN GENERATOR
what are the MASTICATION REFLEXES
- JAW UNLOADING reflex (open)
- JAW-JERK reflex (close)
what is PROPRIOCEPTIVE FEEDBACK in MASTICATION
FINE TUNING VIA SENSORY PROPRIOCEPTIVE FEEDBACK
through PERIODONTAL LIGAMENTS (attach teeth to jaw) and PROPRIOCEPTORS
- proprioceptive feedback as teeth come together allows smooth closing of jaw
what are the 3 MOVEMENTS of MASTICATION that the TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT (TMJ) allows
- OPEN & CLOSE (HINGE-LIKE)
ie sharks - LATERAL (move jaw SIDE TO SIDE)
ie cows - PROTRUSION & RETRACTION (forward, backward)
ie squirrels
what type of Joint is the TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT
SYNOVIAL JOINT
(Diarthrosis - freely moveable)
TMJ is SYNOVIAL with ARTICULAR CAPSULE and SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE
this allows it to be..
VERY MOBILE
DIARTHROSIS (freely movable joint)
why is TMJ a BILATERAL JOINT
Both JOINTS work together
- one on either side of mandible
what does the ARTICULAR DISC do in the TMJ
DIVIDES UPPER and LOWER SYNOVIAL COMPARTMENTS
upper: Sliding (arthrodial)
Lower: Rotational (ginglymus)
UPPER SYNOVIAL COMPARTMENT of TMJ allows for..
SLIDING movement
- ARTHRODIAL
LOWER SYNOVIAL COMPARTMENT of TMJ allows for..
ROTATIONAL movement
- GINGLYMUS
TMJ is also a … JOINT in regards to its movements
GINGLYMOARTHRODIAL
ginglymus - rotational (lower)
arthrodial - sliding (upper)
what are the FUNCTIONS of SALIVA
- TOOTH MAINTENANCE
Dilution, Clearance, Buffering - LUBRICATION
- ANTIBACTERIAL/ANTIFUNGAL
- DIGESTIVE (enzymes)
how does SALIVA allow TOOTH MAINTENANCE
by
- DILUTION (of sugars)
- CLEARANCE (swallowing)
- BUFFERING - high Bicarbonate conc. (HCO3-) for acid from plaque bacteria
what happens to (PLAQUE) pH AFTER a MEAL
DROPS
- PLAQUE BACTERIA MAKE ACID
what is the CRITIAL pH LEVEL, BELOW which TEETH DEMINERALISE
5.5
after a MEAL, as pH DROPS below 5.5 (critical pH) how is brought BACK UP
SALIVA PRODUCTION
- BUFFERS (HCO3- conc.)
what happens BELOW pH 5.5 and why
TEETH DEMINERALISE
- saliva no longer saturated with CALCIUM and PHOSPHATE
what is the name of the CURVE that show TEETH MAINTENANCE by BUFFERING
STEPHEN CURVE
- PLAQUE PH against TIME
rapidly DROPS, then should come back up
faster coming up is ideal
prolonged increase or no increase (no saliva production) is bad
what component of SALIVA makes it good for LUBRICATION
Salivary GLYCOPROTEINS
- which are STICKY
STICKY SALIVARY GLYCOPROTEINS allow saliva to..
form a THIN LAYER ON the ORAL SURFACES and on FOOD
important for mastication, deglutition, talking
