What type of joint is the temperomandibular joint (TMJ)?
Synovial hinge
What are the two articular processes of the TMJ?
- Mandibular fossa of the temporal bone
2. Condylar process of the mandible
What five movements occur at the TMJ?
Elevation Depression Protrusion Retraction Side to side motion
Name the four muscles of mastication
- Massater
- Temporalis
- Lateral pterygoid
- Medial pterygoid
What shape is the temporalis?
Fan shaped
What are the bony attachments of the temporalis muscle?
Coronoid fossa of the mandible and temporal fossa
If the anterior fibres of the temporalis contract, what effect does this have on the mandible?
Elevation
If the posterior fibres of the temporalis contract, what effect does this have on the mandible?
Retraction
Identify the bony attachments of the massater
- Zygomatic arch
2. Outer surface of ramus and coronoid process of the mandible
What is the action of the massater?
Elevation and protrusion of the mandible
The lateral pterygoid muscle attaches to the _____ aspect of the _____ pterygoid plate
lateral; lateral
The medial pterygoid muscle attaches to the _____ aspect of the _____ pterygoid plate
medial; lateral
To which part of the mandible does the medial pterygoid muscle attach?
Angle of the mandible
When the two lateral pterygoid muscles contract, they causes what action?
Protrusion of the mandible
When the lateral pterygoid muscle contracts with the ipsilateral medial pterygoid muscle, what action does it cause?
Side to side motion of the mandible
When the two medial pterygoid muscles contract, they causes what action?
Elevation of the mandible
What suprahyoid muscles depress the mandible?
- Digastric
- Geniohyoid
