Joints: TMJ, head, vertebral column Flashcards
What type of joint is the articulatio temporomandibularis?
What are the articular facets? (3)
And which ligaments are attached to it? (3) Where do they start, where do they end?
Articulatio temporomandibularis
- trochoginglymus (hinge + rotation)
- articular facets:
- caput mandibulae
- fossa mandibularis
- tuberculum articulare
- ligaments:
- lig. stylomandibulare: proc. styloideus → angulus mandibulae
- lig. sphenomandibulare: spina ossis sph. → lingula mandibulae
- lig. laterale (= temporomandibulare): arcus zyg. → proc. condylaris
Where does the discus articularis start and end?
What does it seperate?
What does it consist of?
discus articularis
- fossa mandibularis → caput infratemporale m. pterygeoidei
- seperates:
- membrana synovialis superior ar. temp.
- membrana synovialis inferior ar. temp.
- consist of:
- anterior: fibrocartilage
- posterior: bilaminar (up: loose fibroel. tiss., low: taut fibrous tiss.)
What are the possible movements of the temporomandibular joint? (3)
- protrusion / retrusion
- elevation / depression
- grinding
Which muscles act upon the temporomandibular joint during elevation? (3)
- m. temporalis
- m. masseter
- m. pterygoideus medialis
Which muscles act upon the temporomandibular joint during depression? (3)
- m. pterygoideus lateralis
- m. infra-/suprahyoideus
Which muscles act upon the temporomandibular joint during protrusion? (1)
- m. pterygoideus lateralis
Which muscles act upon the temporomandibular joint during retrusion? (1)
- m. temporalis
Which muscles act upon the temporomandibular joint during grinding? (2)
- m. temporalis (same side)
- m. pterygoideus (opposite side)
Explain the numbers
- os temporale
- fossa mandibularis
- discus articularis
- articulatio discotemporalis
- capsula articularis
- articulatio discomandibularis
- caput mandibulae
- tuberculum articulare
What are the 2 joints of the head?
- articulatio atlantooccipitalis (upper head joint)
- articulatio atlantoaxialis (lower head joint)
What type of joint is the articulatio atlantooccipitalis?
What are the articular facets? (2)
What type of joint is the articulatio atlantoaxialis?
What are the articular facets? (4)
So what is the “overall type” of joint?
Which ligaments are involved in forming these joints? (9)
Articulatio atlantooccipitalis
- ellipsoid
- articular facets:
- facies articulares superiores atlantis
- condyli occipitales
Articulatio atlantoaxialis
- 1) plane, 2) pivot
- articular facets:
- 1) facies articulares inferiores atlantis
- 1) processus articulares superiores axis
- 2) facies articularis anterior dentis
- 2) fovea dentis
Overall:
- rotary
- ligaments:
- lig. cruciforme atlantis =
- lig. transversum atlantis
- fasciculi longitudinales (2)
- lig. apicis dentis
- ligg. alaria (2)
- membrana tectoria
- membrana atlantooccipitalis anterior/posterior
- lig. cruciforme atlantis =
Where does the lig. transversum atlantis start and end?
connects 2 massa laterales atlantis
Where do the fasciculi longitudinales start and end?
foramen magnum → corpus C2
Where does the lig. apicis dentis start and end?
apex dentis → foramen magnum
Where do the ligg. alaria start and end?
dens axis → foramen magnum (lateral)
Where does the membrana tectoria start and end?
clivus → corpus C2
Where do the membrana atlantaoccipitalis anterior/posterior start and end?
arcus anterior/posterior atlantis → foramen magnum
How do the axes of movement run and what are the possible movements of the articulatio atlantoaxialis? (1)
- rotation (-26°) (vertical axis)
Which muscles act upon the articulatio atlantoaxialis during rotation? (6)
- m. longissimus capitis
- m. splenius capitis
- m. sternocleidomastoideus (contralat.)
- m. rectus capitis posterior major
- m. obliquus capitis inferior
- m. trapezius (contralat.)
