A

membranous labyrinth: cochlea, semi-lunar canal system

35
Q

what are the articulations of the TMJ?

A

2 articulatory surfaces on squamous temporal under surface: mandibular fossa- post and concave, articular tubercle- ant and convex
1 articulatory surface on each side of mandible: condyle of mandible

36
Q

importance of mandible having a rounded superior edge and ellipsoid circumference with its major axis postero-medial?

A

not a simple hinge type movement produced, degree of medial and lateral displacement of the joint

37
Q

how do we know where to palpate the TMJ?

A

found anter. and roughly level to the tragus of the ear

38
Q

how is the fibrous capsule of the TMJ specialised to permit joint movements?

A

thin and loose

39
Q

how is posterior dislocation of TMJ prevented?

A

by intrinsic lateral ligament- a thickened part of the joint capsule, which strengthens joint laterally, and with postglenoid tubercle, acts to prevent post. dislocation of joint.

40
Q

where is the joint capsule of the TMJ attached?

A

to the circumference of the mandibular fossa and articular tubercle superiorly, and neck of condyle of mandible inferiorly

41
Q

problem of looseness of TMJ capsule?

A

remains liable to sublaxation or complete displacement

42
Q

how are the bony surfaces of the TMJ separated from one another?

A

by an articular disc/meniscus- fibrocartilage, creating 2 separate cavities: superior and inferior articular cavities within the TMJ capsule, each lined by separate S and I synovial membranes

43
Q

why is having upper and lower articular cavities of the TMJ important?

A

allows for 2 separate types of independent movements of the joint: upper= gliding joint- protrusion and retrusion, lower= modified hinge joint, allowing rotational/pivoting and hinge movements

44
Q

what are the articulating surfaces of the upper joint cavity of TMJ?

A

articulator surface of under surface of temporal bone, and upper surface of articular disc

45
Q

articulating surfaces of lower joint cavity of TMJ?

A

inferior surface of articular disc and mandibular condyle

46
Q

how does articular disc help stabilise TMJ?

A

makes the articulatory bony surfaces congruent, improving their fit

47
Q

why is the TMJ unusual in the components of its synovial joint cavity?

A

articulatory surfaces lined with fibrocartilage, rather than hyaline cartilage

48
Q

advantages and disadvantages of fibrocartilage lining articulatory surfaces of TMJ?

A

+ve: bettwe withstand large forces

-ve: wears thin more readily

49
Q

which muscles elevate mandible at TMJ?

A

temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid

50
Q

muscles depress mandible at TMJ?

A

lateral pterygoid, suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles- all active against resistance
prime mover= gravity

51
Q

muscles that cause mandibular protrusion at TMJ

A

lateral pterygoid- prime mover, masseter and medial terygoid

52
Q

muscles that cause mandibular retrusion at TMJ?

A

temporalis- post oblique and near horizontal fibres, and masseter

53
Q

muscles that cause lateral movements of TMJ?

A

temporalis of same side, pterygoids of opposite side, and masseter

54
Q

how does attachments of articular disc limit anterior displacement of jaw?

A

disc attached ti lateral pterygoid muscle anteriorly, but temporal bone posteriorly- limits displacement

55
Q

when the jaw is closed, what is the condyle of the mandible articulating with?

A

mandibular fossa of temporal bone- posterior superior articular surface of cranium

56
Q

accessory ligaments (extrinsic) of TMJ?

A

sphenomandibular and stylomandibular

57
Q

describe structure and function of sphenomandibular ligament

A

primary passive support of mandible
remains constant in length and tension for all positions of mandible
prevents inferior dislocation of joint

58
Q

function of stylomandibular ligament?

A

thickening of fibrous capsule of parotid gland
separates parotid from submandibular gland
does not contribute significantly to strength of TMJ

59
Q

what must head of mandible and articular disc do to be able to open mouth wider than just to separate upper and lower teeth?

A

they must move anteriorly on articular surface until head lies inferior to articular tubercle- translation movement

60
Q

how is TMJ stabilised by teeth when jaw closed?

A

teeth in occlussal contact

61
Q

what occurs at TMJ for any movement to happen?

A

displacement of mandible

62
Q

contribution of pterygoid venous plexus to yawning?

A

when bored, venous stasis occurs in this venous plexus, causing metabolites to accumulate, which then triggers yawning- pumps blood through the veins, but dislocation of TMJ may occur if excessive contraction of lateral pterygoids occurs!

63
Q

muscular contents of infratemporal fossa?

A

lower part of medial pterygoid
lower part of lateral pterygoid
lower part of temporalis

64
Q

clinical significance of openings of infratemporal fossa?

A

infections can spread!!

65
Q

how do opening movements of TMJ occur?

A

condyles pulled forward- protrusion via lateral pterygoid muscles- prime mover
chin pulled downward and back- digastric muscles (suprahyoid)

66
Q

what must happen to the mandible for us to close our mouths?

A

mandible must be elevated and retruded

67
Q

how do closing movements of TMJ occur?

A

mandible retrusion: posterior fibres of temporalis pull mandible backwards.
mandible elevation: remainder of temporalis, masseter muscles
medial pterygoid muscles

68
Q

anatomical factors aiding stability of TMJ?

A

post displacement limited by postglenoid tubercle
passive anterior displacement limited by articular tubercle
inferior displacement prevented by sphenomandibular ligament (internal lateral) and stylomandibular ligament (posteriorly)

69
Q

where might the mandible dislocate during yawning?

A

head of mandible dislocates anteriorly- passing anterior to articular tubercles
muscles must be made tired- then relax, and TMJ can be reset

70
Q

what is knacking?

A

loud sounds due to jaw displacing

71
Q

what is bruxism?

A

grinding teeth when asleep, associated with expression of stress syndrome

72
Q

what is the infratemporal fossa?

A

an irregularly shaped space deep and inferior to zygomatic arch, deep to ramus of mandible and posterior to maxilla.

73
Q

how does the infratemporal fossa communicate with the temporal fossa?

A

through interval between the zygomatic arch- part of temporal bone, and cranial bones

74
Q

branches of mandibular nerve?

A 
auriculotemporal
inferior alveolar
lingual 
buccal
chorda tympani
75
Q

what are the openings of the infratemporal fossa?

A

foramen ovale- mandibular nerve
foramen spinosum- middle meningeal artery
alveolar canal- inferior alveolar nerve enters mandibular process
inferior orbital fissure
pterygomaxillary fissure

76
Q

problem of infratemporal fossa being a potential space?

A

tumours can grow here without detection for a long time, so are typically advanced when become symptomatic

77
Q

deep arteries of infratemporal fossa?

A

middle meningeal, maxillary (larger terminal branch of external carotid)

78
Q

superficial artery of infratemporal fossa?

A

superficial temporal- can feel temporal pulse

79
Q

veins of infratemporal fossa?

A

maxillary vein
middle meningeal veins
pterygoid venous plexus

80
Q

describe a mandibular nerve block

A

anaesthetic injected near mandibular nerve where it enters infratemporal fossa- near foramen ovale. Extraoral approach: needle passes through mandibular notch of ramus of mandible, into infratemporal fossa. Injection anesthetises auriculotemporal, inferior alveolar, lingual and buccal branches of nerve

81
Q

what is the mandibular foramen, and why might an injection occur around this site?

A

the opening into the mandibular canal on the medial aspect of the ramus of the mandible.
Canal gives passage to inferior alveolar nerve, artery and vein
Inferior alveolar nerve block: all mandibular teeth anaethetised to median plane.
Skin + mucous membrane of lower lip, labial alveolar mucosa, gingivae, and skin of chin also anaesthetised as supplied by mental nerve.

82
Q

which compartment of TMJ responsible for elevating mandible to close mouth?

A

inferior

83
Q

when does TMJ dislocation commonly occur?

A

Dislocation of the TMJ most commonly results from a side-ways blow to the chin when the mouth is open, dislocating the TMJ on the side that received the blow. Dislocation of the TMJ may also accompany fractures of the mandible.

84
Q

why is a posterior dislocation of the TMJ rare?

A

lot of force necessary to overcome postglenoid tubercle and strong intrinsic lateral ligament
