Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) Flashcards
temporomandibular joint: articulation btw
temporal bone:
- articular process
- mandibular fossa
mandible:
- condyloid process
TMJ joint: classify
- synovial modified hinge
TMJ joint: function
- chewing
- talking
- yawning
TMJ joint: consists of
- fibrous capsule
- ligs
- articular surface + disc
- muscles
TMJ joint: articular capsule + disc
- loose
- margins of articular area of temporal bone
- neck of mandible
disc:
- separates into sup/ inf compartments
- compartments of synovial membrane
TMJ joint: name ligs and function
- lateral: (strengthens TMJ)
- stylomandibular lig (minimal support to joint)
- sphenomandibular lig (passive support to mandible)
TMJ joint: which lig prevents post dislocation
- lateral lig
lateral lig: from
reinforces around TMJ capsule in mandible
stylomandibular lig: from
styloid process to angle of mandible
sphenomandibular lig: from
sphenoid spine to lingula of mandibular foramen
TMJ joint: list movements
- elevation
- depression
- retraction
- protrusion
- lateral deviation (L, R)
TMJ joint: describe movement
- each condyle first rotates within disc
- both condyle and disc slide forward down articular eminence
- for jaw close: move in unison back into mandibular fossa
mm involved in: protrusion
- lateral pterygoid (assisted by medial pterygoid)
mm involved in: retraction
- post fibres of temporalis,
- deep part of masseter, glenohyoid and digastric
mm involved in: elevation
- temporalis
- masseter
- medial pterygoid
mm involved in: depression
- gravity
- digastric, glenohyoid, mylohyoid
mm involved in: mastication
- masseter
- temporalis
- lateral pterygoid
- medial pterygoid
mm involved in: suprahyoids
- mylohyoid
- geniohyoid
- stylohyoid
- digastric
mm involved in: infrahyoids
- sternohyoid
- omohyoid
- sternothyroid
- thyrohyoid
temporalis: origin
- bony surfaces temporal fossa
- inf temporal line
temporalis: insertion
- coronoid process
- ant margin or ramus and mandible
temporalis: action
vertical fibres:
- elevation, side to side
horizontal fibres:
- retraction
temporalis: function
- powerful elevator of mandible
- retraction
- assists w side to side movement
temporalis: shape
- fan shape
masseter: shape
- quadrangular
superficial part -masseter: origin
- maxillary process of zygomatic
- ant 2/3 zygomatic process maxilla
superficial part -masseter: insertion
- lateral aspect of ramus of mandible
superficial part -masseter: action
elevation
deep part -masseter: origin
- medial aspect of zygomatic arch
- post part of its inf margin
deep part -masseter: insertion
- central and upper part of ramus of mandible
- as high as coronoid process
