Infratemporal Region, TMJ, MOM, and V3 Flashcards
O/I of temporalis
O: temporal lines
I: coronoid process
Action of temporalis
elevates and retracts the mandible
O/I of Masseter
O: Zygomatic arch
I: gonial angle (ramus of mandible)
Action of masseter
elevates the mandible and some protrusion
O/I of lateral pterygoid
O: lateral aspect of the pterygoid plate
I: TMJ joint capsule, disc, and mandibular neck (of the condyle)
Bilateral and unilateral action of the lateral pterygoid
bilateral: protrudes and depresses the mandible
unilateral: contralateral deviation (latrotrusive movement)
Medial pterygoid O/I
O: medial aspect of the lateral pterygoid plate
I: gonial angle of the mandible (the ramus-forms the sling here with the masseter)
Medial pterygoid action
elevates and protrudes the mandible
The only muscle of the face to depress the mandible
lateral pterygoid
to move the jaw to one side what muscles contract
the opposite side lateral and medial pterygoids
Nerve innervating the temporalis
deep temporal
n. to the masseter
masseteric
n. to the lateral pterygoid
lateral pterygoid
n. to the medial pterygoid
medial pterygoid
The TMJ joint itself has two components
the mandibular fossa (glenoid fossa) of the temporal bone and the condyle of the mandible
Bones of the TMJ
Temporal and mandible
TMJ ligaments include
4 of them.. they are the joint capsule lateral TMJ ligament sphenomandibular ligament stylomandibular ligament
What separates the TMJ into inf and sup cavities?
the articular disc
Tubercles of the TMJ include (2)
Where is each in reference to the other?
the articular tubercle which is ant and the postglenoid tubercle which is post
How many orthogonal planes can the mandible be moved in?
3..
The 3 planes in which the mandible can be moved in
*Bonus if you can say what movement causes each
sagittal-protrusion and retrusion
coronal-elevation and depression
transverse-lateral excursion
rate of muscle contraction to perform movements of the mandible
rapid and well coordinated
