Infratemporal fossa and Temperomandibular Joint Flashcards
Boundaries of the infratemporal fossa
Lateral: Ramus of the mandible Anterior: Maxilla Medial: Lateral pterygoid plate Roof: Sphenoid Posterior: Tympanic plate and mastoid and styloid processes Inferior: angle of mandible
Muscular contents of the infratemporal fossa
Inferior portion of temporalis M
Lateral and medial pterygoid muscles
Nervous structures of the infratemporal fossa
Inferior alveolar N (V3) Lingual N (V3) Buccal N (V3) Chorada tympani (CN VII) Otic Ganglion (nucleus of glossopharyngeal CN IX
Mandibular part of Maxillary Artery
Deep Auricular A Anterior tympanic A Inferior Alveolar A (GA) Middle Meningeal Artery (GA) Accessory Meningeal A
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Deep auricular A
First branch off the mandibular part of Maxillary A
Exterternal Acoustic Meatus
External tmpanic membrane
Tempomandibular Joint
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Anterior Tympanic A
Second branch off the mandibular part of Maxillary As
Internal tempomandibular joint
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Inferior alveolar A
1st branch that runs inferiorly in the Mandibular part of Maxillary, will run through the lingual foramen of the mandible
Enters mandibular foramen and supllies the mandible
Mandibular teeth
Chin and Mylohyoid Muscle
WIll give rise to the Mylohyoid A
Inferior Alveolar A will terminate as the Mental A
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Middle Meningeal A
3rd branch that goes superiorly of the mandibular part of maxillary A, runs through foramen spinosum
Enters cranium via foramen spinosum and supplies the dura mater of the lateral wall trigeminal ganglion facial Nerve Geniculate ganglion Tympanic cavity Tensor tympani M
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Accessory Meningeal A
Last branch of the Mandibular part of maxillary A
Enters the cranium via foramne ovale
supplies extracranial muscles of infratemporal fossa
otic ganglion
and sphenoid bone
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Posterior Deep Temporal A
1st branch of the Muscular part of Maxillary Srtery
Going to supply the Temporalis M
will see in Lab
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Pterygoid Branches
Medial pterygoid and lateral Pterygoid branches off of Muscular part of maxillary A
supplies the medial and posterior pterygoid Muscles
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Masseteric A
Branch off of the muscular part of maxillary Artery
supplies TMJ and the masseter Muscle
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Buccal A
Branch off the muscular part of Maxillary A
Supplies Buccal fat pad
and buccal oral mucosa
Runs with Buccal N
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Posterior Superior Alveolar A
1st branch off the 3rd part of Maxillary A
supplies the molar and premolar teeth
lining of the maxillary sinus
gingiva
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: Descending Palatine A
2nd branch off of the 3rd part of the Maxillar A
supplies hard palate and the soft palate
Part it branches off Maxillary Artery and what it supplies: infraorbital A
3rd branch off of the 3rd part of the maxillar A
gives rise to the anterior superior alveolar A which will supply the upper teeth
then will travel through the infraorbital foramen
and give off the orbital A to supply the eye
