Maxilla, mandible, TMJ Flashcards
identify the numbered structures
- incissive fossa
- palatine process of maxilla
- horizontal plate
- greater palatine foramina
- lesser palatine foramina
identify the number structures on the mandible
- coronoid process
- condylar process
- ramus
- angle of the mandible
- body of the mandible
- mental tubercle
- mental protuberance
Identify the numbered structures on the posterior view of mandible
- lingula
- mandibular foramen
- mylohyoid groove
- mylohyoid line
- submandibular fossa
- digastric fossa
- mental spines
what group of muscles suspends and stabilizes the larynx
extrinsic laryngeal muscles
- suprahyoid m.m. = suspension
- infrahyoid m.m. = stabilization
list the suprahyoid muscles
- digastric
- stylohyoid
- mylohyoid
- geniohyoid
list the infrahyoid muscles
- sternohyoid
- sternothyroid
- thyrohyoid
- omohyoid
what part of the digastric muscle is attached the mandible? To what structure on mandible?
a) anterior belly
b) digastric fossa
what structure on the mandible does the geniohyoid muscle attach to?
mental spines
Identify the numbered muscles
- anterior belly of digastric
- mylohyoid
- stylohyoid
- thyrohyoid
- sternothyroid
- sternohyoid
- omohyoid
NOTE: geniohyoid lies superior to the mylohyoid in this view
what is the fulcrum point of the larynx?
the hyoid bone
(fulcrum point means an anatomical structure that acts as a hinge or point of support)
what are the suspension points of the extrinsic laryngeal muscles?
- mandible
- mastoid process
- styloid process
what are the stabilization points of extrinsic laryngeal muscles?
- sternum
- scapulae
What joins the anterior and posterior bellies of the diagastric muscle?
intermediate tendon
when does the stylohyoid muscle split?
prior to insertion on the hyoid bone, (a.k.a the stylohoid sling) it allows the hyoid bone to slide via the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle
how many muscle make up the floor of the mouth?
- mylohoid muscle
- digastric muscle
- stylohyoid muscle
what is the largest facial bone?
mandible
