dissection 2 muscles of mastication Flashcards
actions of masseter
elevate the mandible
protrude
actions of temporalis
elevates mandible
where does temporals insete
retromolar fossa (along coronoid)
which mastication muscles has a greater range of contraction
temporals
what is the pterygoid venous plexus
what is it connected to
network of veins in infratemporal fossa
cavernous sinus and pharyngeal venous plexus
action of lateral pteryhoid
protrude mandible
what does the long buccal nerve supply
buccal mucosa
skin over buccal membrane
what is the long buccal a branch of
v3
what does the inferior alveolar nerve supply and branches
mental nerve branch
supplies chin
incisive branch for canine/incisor teeth
supplies mandibular dentition
what does the inferior alveolar artier supply
lower dentition
divides to incisive and mental
before entering mandibular foramen gives off mylohyoud branc
where is the major blood supply to the bone of the mandible
incisor arteries (teeth and dental sockets) branch from inferior alveolar arteries
bleeding from gingiva and damage to lower jaw is from
inferior alveolar artery
bleeding fromdental sockets is from
incisor branches
actions of the medial pterygoid muscel
elevate the mandible
what does the mylohyoid nerve supply
mylohyoid
anterior belly of digastric
actions of myloyoid and anterior belly of digastric
elevation of the hyoid bone
mylohyoid also elevates floor of mouth
