Q

the mandible is associated with ___ cartilage

A

meckel’s

20
Q

meckel’s cartilage forms the ___ directly and articulates with the ___. this forms a primitive, or primary joint, before the deveopment of the ___ and ___.

A
  • malleous
  • incus
  • condyle
  • tempral bone
21
Q

the articulation between the temporal bone and the condyle forms the ___

A

TMJ - this is the secondary joint

22
Q

the articular surfaces of the TMJ are covered with a ___, as opposed to ___

A
  • fibrous connective tissue
  • hyaline cartilage
23
Q

what is the fibrous covering of the condyle called?

A

lamina splendens

24
Q

what is the lamina splendens?

A
  • fibrous covering of the condyle that is a layer of mostly avascular type I collagen with some fibroblasts scattered around
25
Q

the glenoid fossa is covered by a ___ layer attached directly to the ___, while the articular eminence is overalid by a ___ layer

A
  • thin fibrous
  • temporal bone
  • much thicker fibrous
26
Q

is there cartilage associated with the articular surfaces of the joint proper?

A

no - it is fibrous connective tissue

27
Q

where is cartilage found?

A

deeper into the condyle and the articular eminence

28
Q

the layers of cartilage found deep in the condyle and the articular eminence have a layer of progenitor cells which spawn ___ in a proliferative layer, which in turn secrete ECM containing type ___ collagen around themselves

A
  • chondroblasts
  • II
29
Q

cartilage has what type of collagen?

A

II

30
Q

the joint capsule forms the ___ that the joint is located within

A

dense collagenous sac

31
Q

the joint capsule has thickened regions which branch out to form the ___

A

temporomandibular ligament

32
Q

the temporomandibular ligament is important for restricting ___ and ___ movements when the joint articulates

A

lateral and medial

33
Q

the temporomandibular ligament restricts movement in what 3 planes?

A
  • medial-lateral
  • superior-inferior
  • posteriorly
  • when the joint moves, it is displaced mainly in an anterior direciton due to these limits
34
Q

what are two other ligaments associated with the TMJ that limit the inferior movement of the jiont when the jaw is open?

A
  • sphenomandibular ligament
  • stylomandibular ligament
35
Q

the articular disk is totally continuous with the ___; it is simply an inward branch of it

A

joint capsule

36
Q

the articular disk is a ___ structure and forms a surface for the ___ to slide along when the jaw opens; a ___ networks overlays ___ cells

A
  • dense fibrous
  • head of the condyle
  • collagen fiber
  • fibroblast
37
Q

is the articular disk bound tightly or loosely to the surface of the condyle?

A

tightly - it matches the contour of the condyle surface

38
Q

the articular disk is thicker in which regions? which region is thinner?

A
  • it is thicker posteriorly and anteriorly
  • middle section is thinner
39
Q

when the jaw is closed, the condyle rests on which part of the articular disk?

A

the thinner, middle section

40
Q

the joint capsule is lined by the ___, and contains a number of folds which form ___ projecting into the ___

A
  • synovial membrane
  • villi
  • joint cavity
41
Q

what are the two layers that the synovial membrane consists of?

A

subintima and intima

42
Q

describe the subintima

A
  • layer of the synovial membrane that consists of loose connective tissue containing elastin fibers and supporting vasculature
  • contains macrophages, adipocytes, fibroblasts, mast cells, and possibly others
  • it is more or less continuous with the fibrous tissue of the capsule
43
Q

describe the intima

A
  • innermost layer of the synovial membrane
  • contains several layers of synovial cells, which can be either A cells (resemble macrophages) or B cells (like fibroblasts but contribute proteins found in the synovial fluid)
44
Q

describe the synovial fluid

A

basically blood plasma containing extra proteins and proteoglycans

45
Q

what are the 4 muscles of mastication?

A

masseter, medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid, and temporalis
