Oral function 1: muscles Flashcards
why is the term muscles of mastication misleading
because many other muscles are involved in mastication
the term mandibular muscles is suggested as an alternative
what is the origin of the masseter
zygomatic arch
what is the insertion of the masseter
lateral surface and angle of mandible
what is the action of the masseter
elevates the mandible
which patients may have a tender masseter
those who have a clenching habit
how do we examine the masseter
place on finger intra orally and the other on the check
what is the origin of the temporalis
floor of temporal fossa
what is the insertion of the temporalis
coronoid process and anterior border of ramus
what is the action of the temporalis
elevates and retracts mandible
which patients have a tender temporalis
patients who have a bruxism habit
how do you examine the temporalis
palpate its origin by asking the patient to clench the teeth together
how is digital palpation performed on the temporalis
it is performed between the superior and inferior temporal lines just above the ear, extending forwards towards the supra-orbital region
what is the origin of the lateral pterygoid
from the lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plate
what is the insertion of the lateral pterygoid
anterior border of the condyle and intraarticular disc via two independent heads
what is the function of the lateral pterygoid
protrudes and laterally deviates the mandible and the inferior head functions with the mandibular depressors during openings
what does the inferior belly of the lateral pterygoid attach to
head of the condyle
what does the superior belly of the lateral pterygoid insert into
intra articular disc
how do we examine the lateral pterygoid
not accessible to manual palpation
best examined by recording its response to resisted movement
good correlation between the resisted movement test and the muscle being tender to palpitation
what is the origin of the deep head of the medial pterygoid
medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plate
what is the origin of the superficial head of the medial pterygoid
tuberosity of the maxilla
what is the insertion of the medial pterygoid
medial surface of the angle of the mandible
what is the action of the medial pterygoid
elevates and assists in protrusion of the mandible
