Mastication Flashcards
Ophthalmic divide into?
Lacrimal
Frontal
Nasociliary
Maxillary divide into - cranial fossa? pterygopalatine fossa?
Cranial: - meningeal Pterygopalatine: - posterior superior - alveolar - zygomatic - ganglionic - infraorbital
Mandibular branch - anterior motor? posterior sensory?
Anterior: - masseteric - medial and lateral pterygoid - buccal - ant/post deep temporal Posterior: - auriculotemporal - lingual - inferior alveolar - mylohyoid
Mandibular nerve sensory and motor distribution?
Sensory: - lower face - lower teeth - ant 2/3 tongue Motor: - Muscles of mastication
Surgical function of the infratemporal fossa - hazard?
Anaesthesia for: - posterior superior alveolar - inferior alveolar Hazard: - injection into vein leading to large haemotoma
Content of the pterygopalatine fossa?
Maxillary nerve
Pterygoid canal nerve
Name the 4 muscles of mastication - nerve supply?
Temporalis Masseter Lateral pterygoid Medial pterygoid Mandibular nerve
Temporalis - function? innervaton?
Elevates mandible
Deep temporal nerve branch of manibular
Masseter - function?
Elevates mandible
Lateral pterygoid - function? location?
Depresses and protrudes mandible
Aids in lateral excursion of the mandible
Across from the ear underneath the zygomatic arch
Medial pterygoid - function? location?
Elevate and protrude the mandible
Aids in lateral excursion
From the angle of the mandible
Name the 3 muscles which depress the mandible?
Digastric, geniohyoid and mylohyoid
Name the 3 muscles which elevate the mandible
Temporalis, masseter and medial pterygoid
Name the 4 muscles which retract the mandible?
Temporalis, masseter, geniohyoid and digastric
Name the 2 muscles which protrude the mandible?
Lateral pterygoid assisted by medial
