[ANAT] MUSCLES OF MASTICATION Flashcards
4 Muscles of mastication
temporalis
masseter
lateral pterygoid
medial pterygoid
which nerve generally supplies all 4 muscles?
mandibular
which embryological structure are all 4 muscles developed from?
mesoderm of 1st pharyngeal arch
all 4 muscles act on
TMJ
temporalis lies in
temporal fossa
masseter overlies
ramus of mandible
medial & lateral pterygoids are content of
infratemporal fossa
origin of temporalis
floor of temporal fossa & deep surface of temporal fascia
insertion of temporalis
all of coronoid process except lateral surface
extends on anterior surface of ramus down till last molar
origin of superficial head of masseter
anterior 2/3 of zygomatic arch
origin of deep head of masseter
posterior 1/3 of zygomatic arch
insertion of masseter
ramus (lateral surface)
origin of upper head lateral pterygoid
infratemporal crest & greater wing of sphenoid
origin of lower head of lateral pterygoid
lateral aspect of lateral pterygoid plate
insertion of lateral pterygoid
fovea
capsule of TMJ
articular disk of TMJ
origin of superficial head medial pterygoid
turberosity of maxilla
