of the TEMPORALIS?

A

1) Origin: inferior temporal line and fascia

2) Insertion: coronoid process

19
Q

What is the action of the Temporalis muscle?

A

Jaw elevation and retrusion (due to it’s posterior fibres)

20
Q

What innervates the Temporalis muscle?

A

Deep Temporal Nerve of the Motor Root of CNVc

21
Q

What is the:

1) origin
2) insertion

of the UPPER HEAD of the LATERAL PTERYGOID?

A

1) Origin: Infratemporal surface of the greater wing of sphenoid
2) Insertion: capsule and articular disc of TMJ

22
Q

What is the:

1) origin
2) insertion

of the LOWER HEAD of the LATERAL PTERYGOID?

A

1) Origin: lateral aspect of the lateral pterygoid plate

2) Insertion: pterygoid fovea below head of condyle

23
Q

What is the action of the lateral pterygoid?

A

A complex action which ultimately leads to jaw opening.
Initial opening: hinge in lower joint space with help from suprahyoids only.
Wide opening: anterior and inferior translation of condyle assisted by inferior lateral pterygoids

24
Q

What innervates the lateral pterygoid?

A

CNVc motor root - nerve to lateral pterygoid

25
Q

What does the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid do:

1) bilaterally?
2) unilaterally?

A

Bilaterally:

1) pulls condyle forward
2) assists opening
3) protrusion

Unilaterally:
1) facilitates lateral excursion

26
Q

When is the superior head of the lateral pterygoid active?

A

During retrusion and closing

27
Q

What is the:

1) origin
2) insertion

of the MEDIAL PTERYGOID?

A

1) Origin: medial aspect of lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone and maxillary tuberosity
1) Insertion: Medial aspect of ramus/angle of the mandible

28
Q

What is the action of the medial pterygoid? (2)

A

1) jaw elevation

2) assists protrusion and lateral excursions (unilateral)

29
Q

What innervates the medial pterygoid muscle?

A

CNVc Motor Root - nerve to medial pterygoid

30
Q

What are the three muscles that fall under the Mandible-Hyoid group?

A

1) Geniohyoid
2) Mylohyoid
3) Digastric (anterior)

31
Q

What is the:

1) origin
2) insertion

of the geniohyoid muscle?

A

1) Origin: inferior mental spine and inferior genial tubercle
2) Insertion: Hyoid bone

32
Q

What is the action of the geniohyoid muscle when:

1) the hyoid is fixed
2) the hyoid is not fixed

A

1) hyoid fixed: jaw opening (and retrusion)

2) hyoid not fixed: raise (and forward) hyoid

33
Q

What innervates the geniohyoid muscle?

A

C1 spinal nerve (with hypoglossal)

34
Q

What is the:

1) origin
2) insertion

of the MYLOHYOID muscle?

A

1) Origin: mylohyoid line of the mandible

2) upper border of the hyoid bone

35
Q

What innervates the mylohyoid muscle?

A

CNVc Motor Root - nerve to mylohyoid

36
Q

What is the raphe that lies inferiorly to the mylohyoid muscle called?

A

the median raphe

37
Q

What is the action of the MYLOHYOID muscle when:

1) hyoid is fixed?
2) hyoid is not fixed?

A

1) Hyoid Fixed: jaw opening

2) Hyoid not fixed: raise hyoid and floor of mouth

38
Q

What is the:

1) origin
2) insertion

of the anterior belly of digastric?

A

1) Origin: Digastric Fossa of the mandible

2) Insertion: intermediate tendon (secured to the hyoid bone by a fibrous loop

39
Q

What is the action of the anterior belly of digastric when:

1) hyoid is fixed
2) hyoid is not fixed

A

1) Hyoid fixed: jaw opening

2) Hyoid not fixed: raise hyoid

40
Q

What innervates the anterior belly of digastric?

A

CNVc Motor Root - via nerve to mylohyoid

41
Q

What are the three muscles that fall under the “Hyoid Stabliser” group?

A

1) Infrahyoids (thyrohyoid, omohyoid, sternohyoid)
2) Posterior Digastric
3) Stylohyoid

42
Q

What other two muscles are involved in mastication?

A

1) obicularis oris (oral sphincter)

2) buccinator (along with the tongue, helps control the bolus of food and direct it to posterior teeth)

43
Q

What are the physiological chewing forces (N) in:

1) dentate patients?
2) edentulous patients?

A

1) dentate patients: 70-150N

2) edentulous patients: 4-55N

44
