Foundation Structures Flashcards
3 planes of mand motion
Midsagittal- down midline
Transverse- horizontal, top to bottom
Coronal- frontal, front and back
TMJ moves in the
Transverse, horizontal plane
TMJ
Area where mand condyle articulates at the base of cranium w temporal bone squamous portion
Bones of skull
Temporal (zygomatic process)
Sphenoid
Zygomatic (cheek bone)
Mandible (condyle and coronoid processes)
What muscle inserts on the coronoid process? Condylar process?
Coronoid- temporalis
Condylar- lateral pterygoid
What forms the inferior part of the TMJ
Condylar process of the mandible
What does the rod through the typodont represent?
The transverse axis that the mandible rotates around
What forms the upper portion of the TMJ
Mandibular fossa of the temporal bone
Articulate eminence
Convex Area directly anterior to the mand fossa of the temporal bone
STF
Squamo- tympanic fissure
Posterior roof of mandibular fossa
Sphenoid bone
Middle portion of cranial base
Pterygoid process
Why is pterygoid process important
Of sphenoid bone
Important because it is the origin for 3 mastication muscles
Zygomatic bone
Cheek bone
Second most commonly fractured bone of face
Masseter origin
Where does the masseter originate
Zygomatic bone
What makes up the TMJ
Mandibular fossa of temporal bone
Articulate disc- dense fibrous CT
Condylar process of mandible
