26
Q

What is the action of the lateral pterygoid?

A

Control position of the articular disk during jaw movement

27
Q

What are the general characteristics of animals who are mainly slicing and crushing during mastication?

A

31
Q

What does the mylohyoid nerve come from?

A

CN 5 V3

32
Q

What is the action of the mylohyoid m.?

A

Raises the floor of the oral cavity to support tongue and draws the basihyoid rostrally

33
Q

A

Paracondylar process

34
Q

What is the insertion point of the digastric muscle?

A

Ventral and medial aspect of the mandible

35
Q

What nerve innervates the digastric muscle?

Active depression of the mandible

37
Q

What nerve is responsible for skin and mucosa sensory innervation in the mandibular region?

A

Mandibular nerve - CN 5 V3

38
Q

What is the mandibular nerve a branch of?

A

Trigeminal

39
Q

What are the six sensory branches of the mandibular nerve?

A

40
Q

What does the buccal n. provide sensory to?

A

Skin of the cheek and underlying oral mucosa

41
Q

What does the auriculotemporal n. supply sensory to?

A

Parts of the external ear and most of the skin overlying temporalis, masseter, and zygomatic arch

42
Q

What is the path of the auriculotemporal n.?

A

Passes caudal to retroarticular process to emerge on the superficial surface of the face between the masseter and auricular cartilage

43
Q

What sensory does the inferior alveolar n. provide?

A

Mandibular teeth

44
Q

What sensory does the mental nerve provide?

A

Skin of the chin

45

A

Mylohyoid

Rostral digastric muscle

49
Q

What sensory information does the lingual nerve provide?

A

Anterior two-thirds of the tongue and lingual mucosa

50
Q

What is carried with the lingual n.?

A

Special sensory and preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the facial n.

51
Q

What is the path of the lingual nerve?

A

Runs parallel and rostral to the inferior alveolar n. passing medial to mandible to enter posterior aspect of the oral cavity

52
Q

Mandibular - Pterygoid - Pterygopalatine

53
Q

What are some things that the mandibular portion of the maxillary artery provide blood to?

A

Temporalis, Masseter, and some of pterygoid mass

TMJ and Ear

54
Q

What are two main branches off the mandibular a.?

A

Inferior alveolar a.

Middle meningeal a.

55
Q

Where does the middle meningeal a. go?

56
Q

What does the pterygoplatine a. provide blood to?

A

Orbit, palate, nasal cavity

Temporalis - and MOST of the pterygoid mass

57
Q

What branch comes off the pterygoplatine?

A

Buccal artery

58
Q

Where does the maxillary vein form?

A
