What is the superior border of the INFTF ?
the infratemporal surface of the greater wing of sphenoid
small part of the squamous of the temporal bone
What is the medial border of the INFTF ?
the lateral pterygoid plate
What is the lateral border of the IFTF ?
ramus and the cornoid process of the mandible
What is the anterior border of the INFTF ?
the posterior wall of the maxilla
What is the posterior border of the INFTF ?
styloid process
Where does the deep head of the medial pterygoid arise and insert ?
medial aspect of the lateral pterygoid plate
ramus of the mandible
Where does the superficial head of the medial pterygoid arise and insert ?
arises from the maxillary tuberosity
inserts into the ramus of the mandible - they fuse together (deep and superficial head)
Where does the inferior head of lateral pterygoid arise and insert ?
arises from the lateral aspect of the lateral pterygoid plate
inserts into the pterygoid fovea on the condylar neck
Where does the superior head of lateral pterygoid arise and insert ?
arises from the infratemporal surface of the greater wing of sphenoid and inserts into the pterygoid fovea
What is the innervation of lateral pterygoid ?
V3- nerve to lateral pterygoid
What is the innervation Of medial pterygoid ?
V3- nerve to medial pterygoid
What does medial pterygoid do ?
elevates the mandible
What does lateral pterygoid do ?
depresses the mandible in jaw opening
What characteristic of medial pterygoid allows it to move in vectors ?
its fibres are perpendicular to the molars
Wheres does V3 enter the INFTTF ?
fo. Ovale
What does V3 do after passing through the INFTF ?
divides into anterior and posterior divisions
What does the anterior division contain ?
nerves to the muscles of mastication
long buccal nerve (sensory)
What does the posterior division contain ?
lingual nerve
inferior alveolar nerve
auriculotemporal nerve
Where does the inferior alveolar nerve supply ?
below the roots of the mandibular teeth
What does the inferior alveolar nerve divide into ?
the inferior alveolar nerve splits into the nerve to mylohyoid before it enters the mandibular canal
it supplies the mandibular teeth then gives off the mental nerve anteriorly when it enters the mandibular canal
Where does the mental exit the skull ?
the mental foramen
What does the mental nerve provide sensory innervation for ?
the chin and the lower lip
Where does the auriculotemporal nerve pass ?
around the middle meningeal artery as two roots from the post division of the mandibular nerve
What does the auriculotemporal nerve provide sensory innervation to ?
the oracle and the TMJ
Where does the lingual nerve arise from ?
the anterior division of v3
Where does the lingual nerve pass ?
between the ramus of the mandible and the medial pterygoid muscle
What does the lingual nerve innervate ?
it provides sensory innervation for the anterior two thirds of the tongue and carries fibres of the facial nerve in the chorda tympani
What is the maxillary artery a division of ?
Terminal branch of the external carotid
What does the maxillary artery pass over ?
lateral pterygoid muscle - in 3 parts
before by and beyond
What are the branches of the first part of the maxillary artery ?
middle meningeal
inferior alveolar
Where does the inferior alveolar artery pass ?
into the mandibular canal via the mandibular Fo.
it gives off the mental artery which passes through the mental foramen
Where does the middle meningeal artery ascend into ?
Fo. Spinosum
What do the branches of part 2 of the maxillary artery do ?
they supply the muscles of mastication and buccinator
What do the branches of part 3 do ?
they accompany the maxillary nerve
Where does the sphenopalatine artery pass through ?
sphenopalatine fo.
Where does the infraorbital artery pass ?
in the infraorbital canal and exits onto the face via the infraorbital foramen
What does the sphenopalatine foramen connect ?
the nasal cavity and the pterygopalatine fossa
What do the tributaries of the maxillary vein drain into ?
the pterygoid venous plexus
What drains the pterygoid venous plexus ?
the short maxillary vein
Where does the maxillary vein pass ?
it passess deep to the neck of the mandibular condyle and enters the parotid gland where it unites with the superficial temporal vein to form the retromandibular vein
What is the TMJ an articulation between ?
the temporal bone of the cranium and the mandible
What are the 3 surfaces of the TMJ ?
articular tubercle
mandibular fossa
condyle of the mandible
Where are the squamotympanic fissures ?
in the mandibular fossa
What type of joint is the TMJ ?
bilateral synovial joint
What encloses the joint cavity ?
a fibrous capsule that runs from the temporal bone to the mandibular joint surfaces
What is in the joint cavity ?
articular disc
What does the articular disc divide the joint cavity into ?
the upper and lower compartments
What is the joint cavity lined by ?
synovial membrane
What are the ligaments that support the TMJ ?
the sphenomandibular ligament ]
the lateral temporomandibular ligament
What is the lateral temporomandibular ligament ?
a thickening of the fibrous capsule
it runs from the articular tubercle to the neck of the mandibular condyle
There is only 1
What does the lateral temporomandibular ligament do ?
Prevents the jaw moving sideways
Where does the sphenomandibular ligament run from ?
from the spine of sphenoid to the lingula of the mandible
Which movements occur in the lower compartments ?
the hinge movement
movement between the condyle and the disc
disc is stationary and the condyle moves through a horizontal axis
What movements happen in the upper compartment ?
translation movement
the movement is between the mandibular fossa and the disc
the condyle and the disc move forward
What happens in protrusion ?
condyles move anteriorly and inferiorly
the disc moves - in the upper compartment
