Gross 2 Vasculature, TMJ, Eye, Ear and Mouth Flashcards
What arteries supply the face?
(Superficial and Deep)
The Facial and Transverse Facial Arteries
(They supply the vast majority of the face, superficially)
The deep structures are supplied by the Maxillary Artery and branches off the External Carotid.
What are the 3 parts to the Maxillary Artery?
1st part) Mandibular
2nd part) Pterygoid
3rd part) Pterygopalatine
In the Mandibular part (p. 1) of the Maxillary Artery, what are the branches?
- Deep Auricular A.
- Inferior Alveolar A. which comes off the Mental A.
- Middle meningeal A.
In the Pterygoid part (p. 2) of the Maxillary Artery, what are the branches?
- Masseter A.
- Deep Temporal A.
- Pterygoid A.
- Buccal A.
In the Pterygopalatine part (Pt. 3) of the Maxillary Artery, what are the branches?
- Superior Alveolar A. (Ant., Middle, Post.)
- Sphenopalatine A.
- Infraorbital A.
- Descending Palatine A., which then spits to Lesser and Greater Palatine A.
What are the Arteries of the Scalp?
External Carotid
- Occipital A.
- Posterior Auricular A.
- Superficial Temporal A.
Internal Carotid
- Supra-Trochlear A.
- Supra-Orbital A.
What structures form the Temporomandibular Joint?
- The Temporal bone: mandibular fossa
- The Mandible: Condyle of mandible
Has an Intra-articular disc that separates the joint into 2 cavities.
What nerve(s) innervate the TMJ?
The Mandibular Nerve (V3) via the Deep Temporal N., Masseteric N., and Auriculotemporal N.
What does the Intra-Articular Disc of the TMJ attach to?
Anteriorly: Lateral Pterygoid
Posteriorly: Posterior Capsule (Superior and Inferior Lamina)
What are the Intrinsic TMJ ligaments?
What does it reinforce and prevent?
- Lateral Ligament of TMJ
–A thickening of lateral capsule
–This reinforces joint laterally and prevents posterior dislocation
What are the Extrinsic TMJ ligaments?
- Stylomandibular Ligament
- Sphenomandibular Ligament
The Posterior Capsule of the TMJ contains two lamina, superior and inferior lamina (Ligaments). Which of the lamina contains elastic fibers?
- The superior lamina contains (fibro) elastic fibers. This allows for protrusion of the disc anteriorly during jaw opening, it then recoils when the jaw closes
The inferior lamina is non-elastic to limit anterior translation of disc
When the Jaw is opening, what are the stages and degrees?
- 1st Stage: The Condyles roll anteriorly;
0-25° - 2nd Stage: Condyles and disc move anteriorly; 25-50°
When the Jaw is closing, what are the stages and degrees?
- 1st Stage: Condyles and disc moves posteriorly; 50-25°
- 2nd Stage: Condyles move posteriorly; 25-0°
In Jaw Movement, what happens with Protrusion?
The condyles and disc translate over articular tubercles of temporal bones; 6-9mm
In Jaw Movement, what happens with Retrusion?
The condyles and disc move posteriorly to post-glenoid tubercle; 3mm
In the Jaw Muscle activity, which muscles are involved in Depression or opening the mouth?
- **The Lateral Pterygoid pulls the intra-articular disc and condyles forward
- **The Anterior Digastric, Mylohyoid and Genohyoid pull the mandible down
- Also the infrahyoid muscles
** are the main ones
In the Jaw Muscle activity, which muscles are involved in closing/occlusion of the mouth?
- The Masseter, Temporalis, and Medial Pterygoid pull the mandible up
Which muscles will be involved with Lateral Excursion (chewing) to the left?
Excursion is the side to side motion
- Left Masseter
- Left Temporalis
- Right Medial Pterygoid
- Right Lateral Pterygoid
(The Pterygoid’s are the pre-dominant movers)
Which muscles are responsible for TMJ Protrusion (Protrude the chin)?
- Lateral Pterygoid (Dominant)
- Masseter
- Medial Pterygoid
Which muscles are responsible for TMJ Retrusion of chin?
Temporalis (Posterior Oblique and near-horizontal fibers)
What is the result when the Mandible is dislocated?
This results in Displacement of the TMJ
If the TMJ joint is dislocated medially, what structures would be affected?
- Chorda Tympani Nerve
- Middle Meningeal Artery
If the TMJ joint is dislocated Laterally, what structures would be affected?
- The Temporal Branch of Facial Nerve (CN VII)
If the TMJ joint is dislocated Anteriorly, what structure would be affected?
Lateral Pterygoid Muscle
If the TMJ joint is dislocated Posteriorly, what structures would be affected?
- Auriculotemporal Nerve
- Facial Nerve
- Parotid Gland
- Superficial Temporal A. and V.
- External Auditory Meatus
