What are the muscles of mastication?
Innverated by?
Masseter
Temporalis
lateral pterygoid
Medial pterygoid
V3
What is the O and I of the:
masseter M.?
O: zygomatic bone, zygomatic arch
I: mandibular angle and Ramus
What is the O and I of the:
Temporalis M.?
O: temporal fossa
I: coronoid process of the mandible
What is the O and I of the:
Lateral Pterygoid?
O: greater wing of sphenoid bone, lateral pterygoid plate
I: mandible and TMJ articular disc (!!)
What is the O and I of the:
Medial Pterygoid
O: maxillary tuberosity and palatine bone(Superifical head),
lateral pterygoid plate and pterygoid fossa (Deep head)
I: mandibular angle
What opens the mouth?
Lateral pterygoid m.
Action of the:
masseter m.?
Elevate mandible
Protract, retract, side to side motion of mandible
Action of the:
Temporalis M. ?
Elevate mandible
Retract mandible
Lateral movement of mandible
Action of the:
Lateral Pterygoid?
Bilaterally: protrudes mandible and opens mouth
Unilaterally: side to side movement (grinding - works with medial pterygoid too)
Actions of the:
medial pterygoid?
Bilaterally:
Elevates and protrudes mandible
Unilaterally:
Protrude mandible and side to side chewing (grinding)
What does the TMJ articulate with?
Mandibular fossa
Head of mandible
Articular tubercle (from Squamous part of temporal bone)
What type of joint is the TMJ?
Hinge and glide joint
What are the articular surfaces separated by?
What are the bones covered by?
Articular disc
Fibrocartilage
What attaches to the articular disc of the TMJ?
Lateral pterygoid m.
What are the 3 extracapsular Ls.?
Function of these?
Lateral L.
Sphenomandibular L.
Stylomandibular L.
Stabilize TMJ
Which ligament of the TMJ prevents posterior dislocation?
Lateral temporomandibular L.
+articular tubercle from squamous part of temporal bone
What supplies the TMJ?
What innervates the TMJ?
Branches of ECA;
Superficial temporal a.
Deep auricular a.
V3
What occurs during gape at the TMJ?
Teeth are in occlusion
Everything is shifted posteriorly
Disc more anterior
What happens within 15 degrees of gape?
What happens over 15 degrees of gape?
Within: hinging
Over: whole head drops out of fossa and slides anteriorly on articular fossa, dislocating anteriorly, protrusion assisted by pterygoid
