17
Q

the three terminal branches of the Maxillary A

A

Pharyngeal A

Artery of pterygoid canal

Sphenopalatine A (known for most serious posterior nose bleeds (ephistaxis)

18
Q

Maxillary artery in relation to nerves

A

as the Maxillary A dives deep into the skull

the Lingual A
inferior Alveolar A
Buccal A

will all pass the Artery perpendicularly from lateral to medial as above

19
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Masseter Muscle

A

inn: Masseteric Nerve anterior division of V3

Elevate the mandible and also assist in protraction and retraction and side to side motion

Has 3 heads

20
Q

What is the action and innervation of the temporalis Muscle

A

inn: Deep temporal Nerve of V3
action: Vertical fibers are going to elevate the mandible

horizontal fibers are going to retract the fibers

Unilateral: lateral movement of mandible

21
Q

What is the action and innervation of the lateral pterygoid M

A

INN: Lateral pterygoid N of V3

Action: Bilateral it protrudes the mandible and opens mouth

unilateral: side to side movement of the mandible

22
Q

What is the action and innervation of the medial pterygoid M

A

Inn: medial pterygoid nerve of V3

Action: Bilateral it will elevate the Mandible and also help to protrusion and assist the lateral pterygoid

unilaterally: produces medial movement to opposite side

23
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Diagastric Muscle

A

Elevates the hyoid bone during swallowing
assists in opening the mandible

Anterior belly innervated by nerve to mylohyoid: CN V3

Posterior Belly Innervated by Facial Nerve

24
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Geniohyoid Muscle

A

Draws the hyoid bone forward during swallowing
assists in the opening of the mandible

Inn: Ventral ramus C1

25
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Mylohyoid Muscle

A

Tightens and elevates the oral floor
draws the hyoid bone forward during swallowing
assists in opening the mandible and moving it from side to side

Mylohyoid nerve (mandibular nerve V3

26
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Stylohyoid muscle

A

elevates the hyoid bone during swallowing
assists in opening the mandible

INN: Facial Nerve (CN VII)

27
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Sternohyoid muscle

A

Depresses or fixes the hyoid bone
depresses the larynx and hyoid bone for talking or swallowing

INN: ansa cervicalis C1-C4

28
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Sternothyroid muscle

A

draws the larynx and hyoid bone downward
depresses the larynx and hyoid bone during speaking and swallowing

inn: ansa cervicalis (C1-C3) and C4

29
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Thyrohyoid Muscle

A

Depresses and fixes the hyoid bone
raises the larynx during swallowing

INN: Verntral ramus of C1 as well as C4

30
Q

What is the action and innervation of the Omohyoid muscle

A

Depresses the hyoid bone
draws the larynx and hyoid bone downward for speaking and swallowing

31
Q

Movement of the mandible and the muscles associated: Elevation

masseter
medial pterygoids

32
Q

Movement of the mandible and the muscles associated: depression

A

infrahyoid muscles

33
Q

Movement of the mandible and the muscles associated: protrusion

masseter
Medial pterygoids

34
Q

Movement of the mandible and the muscles associated: Retrusion

A

Temporalis

masseter

35
Q

Movement of the mandible and the muscles associated: Lateral movements

A

ipsilateral temporalis and masseter

contralateral pterygoids

36
Q

Ligaments of the Temporalmandibular joint

A

Lateral Temporomandibular Ligament
Stylomandibular ligament
Sphenomandibular ligament

37
Q

What is special about the articular disc in the TMJ

A

has a posterior and anterior bands that prevent the jaw from gliding too far forward and back

the lateral pterygoid is connected to the articular disk so that when it fires it pulls the disk anterior causing a self inflicted disslocation (gape)

38
Q

Innervation of the Temperomandibular Joint

A

Posterior division of V3, Auriculotemporal N

Anterior division of V3, Posterior deep temporal nerve and masseteric Nerve

39
Q

Where is the Inferior Alveolar nerve block done

A

back lateral lower half of the mouth inbetween the pterygomandibular raphe and the coronoid notch

40
Q

Where is the Anterior (infraorbital) superior alveolar nerve block done?

A

lateral frontal upper lip to hit the infraorbital nerve

external nasal nerve and the superior labial nerve

41
Q

What branches of the maxillary artery make up the Muscular part

A 
Posterior Deep temporal A
Medial Pterygoid a
Lateral pterygoid A
Masseteric a
Buccal A
Anterior Deep temporal A
42
Q
