muscles of mastication Flashcards
temporalis m origin
- bony surfaces of temporal fossa
- inferior temporal line
- overlying temporal fascia
bilateral action of temporalis m
- resting tonus
- elevate (anterior fibers)
- retract (posterior fibers)
innerv of temporalis m
deep temporal n (branch of mandibular nerve)
blood supply of temporalis m
- deep temporal a
- middle temporal a
most powerful muscle in the body
massetor m
what 3 things are superficial to the massetor m
- parotid gland and duct
- transverse facial a
- branches of CN 7
origin of superficial head of the massetor m
- maxillary process of zygomatic bone
- inferior aspect of anterior 2/3 of zygomatic arch
origin of deep head of the masseter m
- medial aspect of zygomatic arch
- inferior margin of post 1/3 of zygomatic arch
bilateral action of masseter m (superficial)
- elevate
- protrusion
unilateral action of masseter m
lateral movement (ipsilateral)
n and a supply of masseter m
masseteric n, masseteric a and transverse facial a
superficial head of medial pterygoid m
origin: tuberosity of maxilla + pyramidal process of palatine bone
insertion: pterygoid rugosity of medial aspect of ramus
deep head of medial pterygoid m
origin: medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate
insertion: pterygoid rugosity on medial aspect of ramus
action of medial pterygoid m (superficial and deep heads)
bilateral: elevate and protrusion
unilateral: lateral movement to the OPPOSITE side**
if the right medial pterygoid m is damaged, what is the resulting action
moves to the right
the masseter and medial pterygoid form a
muscular sling
