  • Pterygoid muscle
  • Branches of V3 nerves (lingual and nerve to mylohyoid)
  • Cordae tympani
  • Maxillary artery (branch of external carotid artery
24
Q

What does the maxillary artery supply?

A

Palates and teeth

25
Q

What type of joint is the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)?

A

-Synovial- Modified hinge joint

26
Q

What is the big picture job of the temporomandibular joint?

A

To always be between the temporal bone and the head of the mandible

27
Q

What type of cartilage does the TMJ joint have?

A

Fibrocartilage

28
Q

How many articular points does the TMJ joint have?

A

2- It has to slide forward before the hinge action can open the mouth wide

29
Q

Since it is a synovial joint, what 2 things does it contain?

A
  • Capsule

- Articular disc

30
Q

How many synovial joints does the head contain?

A

2- only the TMJ joints

31
Q

What types of joints does the rest of the body have?

A

Sutures

32
Q

What are the 3 ligaments of the TMJ joint?

A
  • Lateral ligament
  • Stylomandibular ligament
  • Sphenomandibular ligament
33
Q

This ligament is derieved from the parotid capsule and attaches to the styloid process of the temporal bone and the superior portion of the angle of the mandible

A

Stylomandibular ligament

34
Q

This ligament is used for antigravity support and attaches to the anterior surface of the lateral mandible

A

Sphenomandibular ligament

35
Q

This ligament attaches to the zygomatic process of the temporal bone and the superior portion of the mandible.

A

Lateral Ligaments

36
Q

Describe the basic movement of the TMJ joint when chewing

A

The superior portion glides forward until you are anterior to the tubercle then the jaw can be opened wide

37
Q

What are the 4 masticatory muscles?

A
  • Temporal
  • Masseter
  • Medial Pterygoid
  • Lateral Pterygoid
38
Q

How many bellies does the lateral pterygoid have?

A

2 bellies- a superior and inferior

39
Q

Describe where they attach and their relationship to the TMJ joint

A

The superior belly attaches to the disk of the TMJ joint and the inferior belly attaches to the neck of the mandible
-This ensures that the disk and the mandible move together

40
Q

What movement is the temporal muscle mainly for?

A
  • Fibers elevate and retrude
41
Q

What movement occurs if you pull the posterior fibers of the temporal muscle and the lateral pterygoid?

A

-You swing the jaw

42
Q

Temporalis Muscle (O,I,A,IN)

A
O= floor of the temporal fossa
I= Coronoid process of the mandible
A= Elevates mandible and closes jaw
(posterior fibers retract mandible)
In= Mandibular Nerve (CN 5- V3)- Deep temporal branches
43
Q

Masseter Muscle (O,I,A,IN)

A
O= Maxillary process of the zygomatic bone and the zygomatic arch
I= Angle and lateral surface of ramus of mandible
A= Elevates mandible, closes the jaw
In= Mandibular Nerve (CN 5, V3)-masseteric branches
44
Q

Lateral Pterygoid (O,I,A,IN)

A

O= Crest of the greater wing of the sphenoid
- lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate
I= Upper head- joint capsule of TMJ joint
Lower head- Pterygoid fovea on neck of the condyloid process of the mandible
A= Bilaterally- protracts mandible and depresses chin
Unilaterally- swings jaw toward contralateral side
IN=Mandibular Nerve (CN 5, V3)- Lateral pterygoid nerve

45
Q

Medial Pterygoid (O,I,A,IN)

A

O= Medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate
-Tuberosity of maxilla
I= Medial surface of the ramus of mandible
A= Synergist to masseter
-Elevates mandible
Produces small grinding movements
IN= Mandibular Nerve (CN V3)- Medial Pterygoid Branch
