What does the Malleomandibular or Discomalleolar or Pinto’s ligament do?
Connects malleus of the
middle ear to the posterior TMJ capsule, lateral pterygoid, and disc. Link between TMJ and ear.
The TMJ is richly supplied by the external carotid artery through the …
superficial temporal, deep auricular, anterior tympanic, ascending pharyngeal, and maxillary branches
