Q3-TMJ Flashcards
What do ginglymoid and arthodial mean in terms of the TMJ
ginglymoid - hinge
arthodial - glide
The TMJ contains what three components
mandibular condyle
articular (glenoid) fossa and eminence
articular disc
What is the name of the fossa that the TMJ is located in
temporal fossa
What is the name of the fossa that lies deep to TMJ and can be seen after the zygomatic arch is removed
infratemporal fossa
What nerve lies deep to the infra temporal fossa in the pterygomaxillary suture
maxillary nerve
The mandible condyle has a greater (mediolateral or anteroposterior) dimension
mediolateral
The articular fossa is the (nonfunctioning/functioning) portion
nonfunctioning
The articular eminence is the (nonfunctioning/functioning) portion
functioning
The articular disc is made up of what?
fibrous connective tissue
True or False
The articular disc is not vascularized
False; the articular disc is highly vascularized everywhere but the center
True or False
The ligaments of TMJ assist in moving the joint
False; they do not move the joint, they offer support and limit movement
What are the 4 ligaments of the TMJ
fibrous capsule (capsular ligament)
lateral ligament
stylomandibular ligament
sphenomandibular ligament
The synovial membrane is located within which ligament
fibrous capsule; it produces synovial fluid
Which ligament is likened to a shower curtain surrounding the condyle and mandibular fossa
fibrous capsule (capsular ligament)
This ligament prevents excessive rotation and opening
lateral ligament
This ligament has two sets of fibers; OOP (outer oblique portion) and IHP (inner horizontal portion)
lateral ligament
OOP limits lateral rotation and gliding
