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
what does the lingual nerve supply
general sensation to the posterior 2/3 tongue
floor of mouth
gingiva, lingual side of mandibular teeth
what is prone to damage upon extraction of lower 8s
lingual nerve and IAN
effect of damage to lingual nerve
lack of sensation to floor of mouth, posterior 2/3 tongue, lingual gingiva
also loss of taste as chords tympani fibres have fused
where are IAN and lingual nerves accessible for anathesia
ramus of mandible
function of the ligaments and capsule of the TMJ
limit movement, provide proprioception
capsule seals joint space
what is the lateral pterygoid muscle attached to
articular disk
function of the articular disk
pack the joint to provide stability
what is the TMJ disk made of
fibrocartilage
