Facial Muscles & Nerves Flashcards

1
Q

Why are facial muscles different from other muscles?

A

They have at least one attachment point to skin, soft tissues or other muscles rather than to bone.

Q

Even though each neuron can only carry one type of information, one peripheral nerve is made up of hundreds on neurons all bundled together. What does this imply?

A

Each nerve can carry different types of information because it can be made up of a combination of motor, special sensory and general sensory.

Q

Why do lower facial muscles receive a contralateral facial nerve supply?

A

Because Facial nerve fibres from the same side of the brain only travel to the upper face on that side. Therefore the lower face recieves innervation only from fibres that have crossed over from the other side of the brain before emerging and splitting into the 5 branches.

Q

A thin TMJ ligament that is stabilising, but does not contribute much to the strength of the TMJ.

A

The Stylomandibular ligament

140
Q

This TMJ ligament attaches to the sphenoid bone and the interior surface of the mandible.

A

The sphenomandibular ligament.

141
Q

The sphenomandibular ligament and stylomandibular ligament helps to stabilise the TMJ, but don’t contribute much to the strength of the joint. True or false?

A

True.

142
Q

The lateral ligament does virtually all of the strength work in the TJM. True or false?

A

True.

143
Q

What are the 3 planes of movement at the TMJ?

A
  1. Depression/elevation
  2. Retraction/protraction aka retrusion/protrusion
  3. Deviation ……(deviant giraffe)
144
Q

How many muscles act on the TMJ?

A

4

145
Q

How many muscles of mastication are there?

A

4

146
Q

What are the muscles that act on the TMJ known as?

A

The muscles of mastication

147
Q

The large fan shaped muscle filling the temporal fossa is called….?

A

The Temporalis Muscle.

148
Q

The temporalis muscle runs from the temporal bone, through the temporal fossa to the…..?

A

Coronoid process

149
Q

This large muscle passes through the temporal fossa deep to the zygomatic arch.

A

The Temporalis muscle.

150
Q

The major function of the Temporalis muscle is to…?

A

Elevate the mandible (also contributes to retrusion/retraction of the mandible)

151
Q

A very large and strong muscle of mastication.

A

The Masseter

152
Q

This muscle attaches to the zygomatic arch and folds under the ramus and body of the mandible.

A

The Masseter

153
Q

The masseter is a major elevator of the mandible. True or false?

A

True.

154
Q

The two smallest muscles of mastication.

A

The medial and lateral pterygoid muscles.

155
Q

Name the muscles of mastication:

A
  1. Temporalis muscle
  2. Masseter
  3. Medial Pterygoid muscle
  4. Lateral Pterygoid muscle
156
Q

This muscle attaches to the lateral pterygoid plate on the sphenoid bone and the condyle of the mandible.

A

The Lateral Pterygoid muscle.

157
Q

This muscle’s main job is to protrude the mandible.

A

The Lateral Pterygoid muscle.

158
Q

This muscle attaches to between the pterygoid plates and the interior surface of the ramus of the mandible, near the angle of the mandible.

A

The Medial Pterygoid muscle.

159
Q

This muscle contributes to mandibular elevation (working with the masseter and temporalis).

A

The medial pterygoid muscle.

160
Q

Which muscles are responsible for jaw deviation?

A

The medial and lateral pterygoid muscles.

161
Q

You use the right medial and lateral pterygoid muscles to deviate the your jaw to the left. True or false?

A

True

162
Q

Why are the right pterygoid muscles involved in left deviation of the jaw, and vice versa?

A

When the pterygoid muscles contract they pull the ramus of the mandible towards the skull (attachment points pterygoid plates), deviating the jaw to the opposite side.

163
Q

How do the Hyoid muscles aid TMJ movement?

A
  1. All of the hyoid muscles: by stabilising the Hyoid bone during mandibular movement.
  2. The suprahyoid muscles can help to depress the mandible.
164
Q

The same nerve is both sensory and motor for the TMJ, true or false?

A

True

165
Q

Which nerve innervates the TMJ for both sensory and motor functions?

A

The Mandibular Nerve - the 3rd branch of the trigeminal nerve (CNV3)

166
Q

Damage to CNV3 - the Mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve would have what effect?

A

Paralysis of the TMJ and numbness of the TMJ and lower jaw region.

167
Q

Name the ligaments that attach to the styloid process

A
  • stylomandibular ligament

* stylohyoid ligament

168
Q

Name two of the muscles that attach to the mastoid process?

A
  • Sternocleidomastoid

* posterior belly of the Digastric muscle
