Lecture 4 Quizlet cards Flashcards
Where do the condyles of mandible sit?
Mandibular fossa
Postglenoid tubercle & articular eminence of temporal surrounds _________ fossa
Mandibular/glenoid
What are other bones besides mandible & temporal that contribute to structure?
- Maxilla
- Zygomatic
- Sphenoid
- Hyoid
What 2 structures form the TM joint?
- Condyle of mandible
- Articular eminence of temporal
What type of joint is TM & what is it covered in?
- Synovial
- Fibrocartilage
TM is also a __________ joint since articular disc separates it into 2 synovial cavities each w/ distinct movement patterns
Ginglymoarthrodial
The deeper layers of the dense avascular fibroc collagenous tissue are (parallel/perpendicular) to bony surface to withstand stress & the superficial layers are (parallel/perpendicular) to facilitate sliding of joint
- Perpendicular
- Parallel
Which facial bone is the largest?
Mandible
What are the 2 poles on the condyles of mandible referred to as?
Medial & lateral
Condyles sit (anterior/posterior) to external auditory meatus.
Anterior
Where on the mandible is the attachment site for temporalis?
Coronoid process
Mandible interacts w/ _________ by way of teeth.
Maxilla
Inferior TM joint functions as hinge joint –> rolls __________ during opening.
Posterior
Superior TM joint functions as plane joint –> slides __________ during opening.
Anterior
T/F: Articular disc is biconcave & viscoelastic for large, frequent forces.
True
What are the roles of the articular disc?
- Joint stability
- Minimize loss of mobility
- Reduce friction
- Decrease biomechanical stress
What are the 3 locations that the articular disc attaches to?
- Medial & lateral poles
- Anteriorly: joint capsule & tendon of lateral pterygoid
- Posteriorly: bilaminar retrodiscal pad
The articular disc attaching to lateral pterygoid restricts (anterior/posterior) translation.
Posterior
The articular disc attaching to superior lamina allows disc to translate (anteriorly/posteriorly) by stretching (elastic) & inferior lamina limits forward translation (elastic).
Anteriorly
What are articular discs made out of?
- Collagen
- Proteoglycans
- Elastin
T/F: Articular disc can remodel/repair after aging & mechanical stress.
False
Which part of articular disc has minimal to no vascular or neural supply & attaches to joint capsule anteriorly?
Anterior band
Which part of articular disc is the thinnest & has no vascular or neural supply & attaches to condyle medial/lateral?
Intermediate zone
Which part of articular disc is the thickest & has rich innervation & vascular supply from retrodiscal tissue & attaches to retrodiscal tissue which is attached to capsule?
Posterior band
