upper and lower synovial compartments are divided by this
arituclar disc
synovial fluid does these but doesnt do this
lubricates/nourishes chondrocytes, does not act as a shock absorber because not enough of it

compact bone, spongy bone
mandibular fossa is lined by thin blank but not blank
dense fibrous ct, fibrocartilage

stress bearing
bone comprising the articular eminence is blank compared to fossa
thicker (withstands more pressure)
thickest part of articular disc
posterior band
the postero superior and postero inferior laminae of the posterior band surround a part called the blank
retrodiscal pad
retrodiscal pad is made of blank ct
loose
the posterosuperior lamina is composed of blank fibers
elastic
the posteroinferior lamina is composed of blank
collagenous tissue
fibers of both posterosuperior and posteroinferior course in this direction
anteroposterior
three layers of superior aspect of the condyle
fibrous articular layer, cellular proliferative layer, hyaline growth cartilage
