Q

innervation medial pterygoid

A

V3 via medial pterygoid branch

32
Q

lateral pterygoid muscle

A

lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate and infratemporal crest of sphenoid bone to neck of mandibualr condyle/articular disc

protrusion of mandible

33
Q

lateral pterygoid unilateral action

A

moves jaw towards contralateral side

-pivot movements of chewing

34
Q

innervation lateral pterygoid

A

V3 via lateral pterygoid branch

35
Q

sphenomeniscal portion of lateral pterygoid

A

to articular disc - stabilizes**

36
Q

deep to neck of mandible 1st portion

deep auricular a
anteiror tympanic a
middle meningeal a
accessory meningeal a
inferior alveolar a
38
Q

pterygoid portion of maxillary artery

A

through infratemporal region - either superficial/deep

masseteric branches
anterior and posterior deep temporal 
medial pterygoid branches
lateral pterygoid branches
buccal artery - to cheek
39
Q

pterygopalatine portion of maxillary artery

41
Q

pterygoid plexus of veins

A

large venous plexus investing external and internal surface of lateral pterygoid muscle

blood from infratemporal fossa and face
also cavernous sinus (emissary veins) and pharynx

coalesce to form maxillary vein - travels with maxillary artery
