QUIZ 4 TMJ Flashcards
do fibrous joints permit a lot of movement?
no, they generally permit very little movement
what are exmples of fibrous joints?
- sutures in the skull
- tooth socket - gomphosis
- syndesmosis - immovable connective tissue holding bones together (ex. the tibia and fibula)
do cartilagenous joints permit a lot of movement?
no, they generally permit very little movement (like fibrous joints)
what are examples of cartilagenous joints?
- primary cartilagenous joints
- secondary cartilagenous joints
what are primary cartilagenous joints?
- synchondroses
- bone and cartilage in direct apposition
- ex. sternocostal junction
what are secondary cartilagenous joints?
- symphyses
- fibrous tissue internally in the joint
___ joints consist of a capsule filled with fluid contained in a membrane
- synovial
- *synovial fluid in a synovial membrane
movement of bones relative to one another, facilitated by muscle, take place in ___ capsules in ___ joints
- articular capsule (fibrous capsule + synovial membrane)
- synovial
how are types of synovial joints classified?
based on how many axes they can move along and also by the shapes of their articular surfaces
the TMJ is a ___ joint
synovial sliding-ginglymoid
the TMJ articulation is composed of the ___ of the mandible and the ___ of the skull, which is indented on the underside of the ___ bone
- condyle
- glenoid fossa
- temporal
what types of movements does the TMJ need to produce?
protrusive, extrusive, and retrusive movements
the ___ provides a track that the condyle slides along. theis is bounded anteriorly by the ___, which the condyle moves in front of when the jaw opens
- glenoid fossa
- articular eminence
the condyle is able to ___ and ___ in various ways
rotate and translate
is the articular disk a distinct structure?
no, it is an extension of the synovial capsule
the synovial cavity is divided into two compartments. describe this.
- the compartments are divided by the articular disk
- upper joint cavity - adjacent to the glenoid fossa
- lower joint cavity - adjacent to the condyle
the articular disk runs between and attaches the ___ and ___, enveloping the joint
condyle and glenoid fossa
the mandible is formed by ___ ossification
intramembranous ossification
