Anatomy 1.11.13 Fosae Flashcards
What are the three fossae we talk about
Temporal Fossae
Infratemporal fossae
Pterygopalatine Fossa
What are the obejctives
- Describe boundaries of each fossae
- Describe communicationg between fossae nad structures
- Describe structures within each fossa
What muscle is in temporal fossa
Temporalis muslce
Where does temporalis muscle go down do
to zygomatic arch
What is special about temporal fossa
It is not a real depe fossa,
Allows temporalis muscle to bulge, skull is open
What is the superior temporal line? What attaches to it
raised area,
Goes from frontal bone, parietal bone, continuous with superior border of zygomatic arch ,to posterior of zygomatic bone`
Attachment of temporalis fascia
What is the inferior temporal line? What is it the orgin of?
Outer border of origin of temporalis muscle
Where do superior and inferior temporalis lines merge?
Merge and become continuous with superior margin of zygomatic arch
What is the origin and insertion of temporalis muscle?
Originates form floor of temporal fossa
Insertes into CORONOID PROCESS and RAMUS of mandible
What is the lateral boundary of the INFRATEMPORAL FOSSA
Ramus of the mandible (vertical part ))
What muscle needs to be cut in order to see the infratemporal fossa/
need to cut zygomatic arch and temporalis muscle needs to be reflected upward
Also need to cut masseter muscle
how does infratemporal fossal communicate with temproal fossa?
via passage deep to zygomatic arch
What is the Roof, Anterior, Medial, Posterior , inferior,boundary
Superior BorderRoof- a) Greater Wing of the Sphenoid Bone b) Temporal Bone (roof)
INferior- no floor, trap you form getting to mandlble but no boundary
Anterior Boundary- Maxillae
Medial Boundary -
a)Pterygoid plate Pterygoid muscle (attaches to insdie of mandible_/ b)PHARNYNX- PHARYNGEAL TUBERCLE (attachent of pharynx
Lateral boundary -Mandible?
Posterior boundary- not much barrier,
What comes out of foramen spinosum
Middle Meningeal Artery
What comes out of Foramen ovale
- V3 - Mandibublar Nerve (a branch of TRIGEMNIAL NERVE CN V)
What comes out of inferior orbital Fissure
Infraorbital Artery and nerve
