Q

Action of temporalis muscle

A

Anterior fibres run vertically and elevate the mandible.
Posterior fibres run obliquely and horizontally to elevate the mandible and retract head of condyle back into glenoid fossa.

17
Q

Origin and insertion of lower head of lateral pterygoid

A

Origin - lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone.

Insertion - pterygoid fovea on anterior of neck of mandible.
Some fibres may insert with TMJ structures.

18
Q

Action of the lateral pterygoid muscles

A

Bilateral contraction - opens and protrudes the mouth.

When contract alternately - grinding side to side motion/rotation.

19
Q

Innervation and boood supply of lateral pterygoid

A

Innervation - mandibular branch
Blood supply - maxillary artery

20
Q

Origin and insertion of large deep head of medial pterygoid

A

Origin - medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid.

Insertion - fibres pass inferiorally, posteriorly and laterally to medial surface of ramus and angle of mandible.

21
Q

Origin and insertion of small superficial head of medial pterygoid muscle

A

Origin - tuberosity of maxilla and pyramidal process of palatine.

Insertion - fibres pass inferiorally, posteriorly and laterally to medial surface of ramus and angle of mandible.

22
Q

Action of medial pterygoid muscle

A

Elevates the mandible
Along with lateral pterygoid, protrudes the mandible.

23
Q

Nerve and blood supply of medial pterygoid muscle

A

Nerve - medial pterygoid branch of mandibular nerve.

Blood - pterygoid branches of maxillary artery.

24
Q

Accessory muscles of mastication

A

Digastric
Buccinator
Geniohyoid
Genioglossus

25
Q

Origin and insertion of anterior belly of digastric muscle

A

Origin - arises from digastric fossa on lower border of mandible.

Insertion - meet above hyoid bone at intermediate tendon, held with fibrous sling anchoring to body of hyoid bone.

26
Q

Origin and insertion of posterior belly of digastric muscle

A

Origin - digastric notch on mastoid process of temporal bone.

Insertion - meet above hyoid bone at intermediate tendon, held with fibrous sling anchoring to body of hyoid bone

27
Q

Action of digastric muscle

A

Depression of mandible
Elevate hyoid bone during chewing and swallowing

28
Q

Nerve and blood support of anterior belly of digastric muscle

A

Nerve - mylohyoid nerve
Blood - sub mental branch of facial artery

29
Q

Nerve and blood supply of posterior belly of digastric muscle

A

Nerve - digastric branch of facial nerve
Blood - posterior auricular/occipital artery

30
Q

Buccinator origin and insertion

A

Origin - Pterygomandibular raphae and buccal alveolar bone

Insertion - fibres run horizontally to orbicularis oris at corners of mouth

31
Q

What muscle forms the cheek

A

Buccinator

32
Q

Action of Buccinator

A

Pulls corners of mouth back
Compress cheek against buccal surface of molars
Regulates vestibular region with tongue; keeps food in line with occlusal surfaces of teeth during mastication

33
Q

Innervation and blood supply of Buccinator

A

Nerve - facial nerve, buccal branch
Blood - facial and maxillary arteries

34
Q

Geniohyoid

A

Narrow muscle situation above medial part of mylohyoid line

35
Q

Origin and insertion of geniohyoid

A

Origin - inferior genial tubercle

Insertion - fibres run inferiorly and posteriorly into body of hyoid bone.

36
Q

Action of geniohyoid

A

Aids in deglutition and opening of mouth, depresses mandible.

37
Q

Innervation and blood supply of geniohyoid muscle

A

Nerve - hypoglossal nerve
Blood supply- sublingual branch of lingual artery

38
Q

Genioglossus muscle origin and insertion

A

Origin - superior genial tubercle on inner surface of mandible.

Insertion - dorsum of tongue, large fan shape muscle.
Superior fibres pass superiority to tip of tongue.
Inferior fibres insert onto body of hyoid bone

39
Q

Action of Genioglossus

A

Depresses the tongue
Inferior fibres retract the tongue
Superior fibres protrude the tongue

40
Q

Innervation and blood supply of Genioglossus

A

Innervation - hypoglossal nerve

Blood supply - sublingual branch of lingual artery and sub mental branch of facial artery.
