infratemporal fossa Flashcards
temporal fossa
lat area of skull overlying squamous portions of frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones.
continuous inf w/infratemporal fossa
boundaries of temporal fossa
ant/sup/post- sup temporal line
inferolateral- zygomatic arch
inferomedial- infratemporal crest of temporal and sphenoid bones
sup temporal line
zygomatic, frontal, parietal, temporal
contents of temporal fossa
upper portin of temporalis m and a dense temporalis fascia
infratemporal fossa
deep region of the head lying inf and deep to temporal region
boundaries of infratemporal fossa
lat- ramus of mandible
superolateral- zygomatic arch
superomedial-infratemporal crest of temporal and sphenoid bones
med- lateral pterygoid plate & pharynx
ant- maxilla
post- imaginary line connecting post border of ramus of mandible and styloid process of temporal bone
inf- continuous w/submandibular region
contents of infratemporal fossa
lower portion of temporalis m medial pterygoid lat pterygoid maxillary a (1st and 2nd portion) pterygoid plexus of vv V3 otic ganglion
TMJ
condyle of mandible
mandibular fossa and articular tubercle of temporal
contains dense CT articular disc- separates joint into 2 separate synovial lined cavities
loose above disc, tight below
TMJ fnx
operates during chewing
while opening mouth condyle of mandible slides ant against post surface of articular tubercle
ligs of TMJ
lat lig of TMJ
stylomandibular lig
sphenomandibular lig
lat lig of TMJ
thickening of joint capsule
helps to prevent post dislocation of mandible
sytlomandibular lig
thickening of parotid fascia
extends from styloid process to angle of mandible
not very strong
sphenomandibular lig
extends from spine of sphenoid to lingula of mandible
strong, provides the most passive support for TMJ
elevation of mandible
close mouth
temporalis
masseter
medial pterygoid
depression of mandible
open mouth
lateral pterygoid, suprahyoid, infrahyoid
protrusion of mandible
lateral pterygoid, masseter, and medial pterygoid
retrusion of mandible
temporalis, masseter
lat movement of mandible
temporalis same side, pterygoids opposit side, masseter
upper portion TMJ
synovial btwn temporal bone and disc gliding protrusion/retrusion elevation/depression
lower portion TMJ
synovial
btwn disc and mandible
pivot
side to side motion
dislocation of TMJ
mandibular condyle slide ant to articular tubercle (too far) -> unable to close jaw
must be pushed inf then post
may damage auriculotemporal n
