Test 1 review Flashcards
There are 4 muscles of mastication:
- Masseter
- Temporalis
- Medial pterygoid
- Lateral pterygoid
Masseter
Most superficial and strongest. Thick flat rectangular muscle on each side of the face, anterior to the parotid gland.
2 heads (superficial and deep)
Origin- Both heads originate from the zygomatic arch. Superficial =angle of the mandible. Deep = ramus
When the patient clenches their teeth is when the elevation of the mandible is taking place (closing of the jaws)
Innervated by the Masseteric nerve (V3)
Temporalis
broad fan-shaped muscle of mastication on each side of the head that fills the temporal fossa, superior to the zygomatic arch.
Temporal space is formed by the temporal fascia covering the temporalis muscle. Infratemporal space is bordered laterally by the medial surface of the mandible and the temporalis muscle.
originates from the temporal fossa – a shallow depression on the lateral aspect of the skull
Action- retraction of mandible, elevating the mandible. Also allows freeway space at its physiologic rest position
Innervated by 5th cranial or trigeminal nerve.
Medial pterygoid
Rectangular form has 2 heads due to differing depth (deep and superficial, smaller head).
The superficial head originates from the maxillary tuberosity and the pyramidal process of palatine bone. The deep head originates from the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone. Both parts attach to the ramus of the mandible, near the angle of mandible.
DEEPEST MUSCLE OF MASTICATION
Elevates the mandible during the closing of the jaws
Innervated by 5th cranial or trigeminal nerve
Lateral pterygoid
The superior head originates from the greater wing of the sphenoid. The inferior head originates from the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid. The two heads converge into a tendon, which attaches to the neck of the mandible.
short thick almost conical muscle of mastication superior to the medial pterygoid. Two separate heads (superior an inferior). They are separated anteriorly by a slight interval but fuse together posteriorly.
The entire muscle lies within the infratemporal fossa deep to the temporalis muscle.
The only muscle of mastication that ASSISTS in depressing the mandible, lowering the lower jaw! Depression of the mandible occurs during the opening of the jaws. Protrusion also occurs when the jaws are opened
The muscle is innervated by the lateral pterygoid nerve, a branch of the mandibular nerve (V3)
Pterygomandibular space is formed by the lateral pterygoid muscle (roof), medial pterygoid muscle (medial wall), and the mandibular ramus (lateral wall). It is the injection site for the inferior alveolar block.
Free gingiva
closely adapted around each tooth but not attached
keratinized
Parts of free gingiva
Gingival margin
gingival sulcus
junctional epithelium
free gingival groove
Gingival margin
.
the edge of the gingiva nearest to the incised surface of the tooth
Gingival sulcus
The crevice between the free gingiva and the tooth.
Junctional epithelium
the epithelial attachment provides a seal at the base of the sulcus
non keratinized separates the periodontal ligament from the oral environment
Free gingival groove
a shallow linear demarcation between free gingiva and attached gingiva
Interdental papillae
Extensions of unattached gingiva between adjacent teeth
keratinized fills embrasure spaces
Attached gingiva
Part of the gingiva that is tightly connected to the cementum on the root (cervical third) and to the connective tissue cover of the alveolar bone
Mucogingival junction
The line that marks the connection between the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa on the facial surfaces of all quadrants and the lingual surfaces of the mandibular arch
Alveolar mucosa
The thin, moveable, loosely attached tissue covering the alveolar bone.
non keratinized

Ectoderm
layer in trilaminar embryonic disc derived from epiblast layer and lining stomodeum. Gives rise to the skin epidermis the CNS
Endoderm
layer in trilaminar embryonic disc derived from hypoblast layer
Mesoderm
embryonic layer located between ectoderm and endoderm. Gives rise to CT such as skin dermis, cartilage, bone, blood, muscle, and associated other tissue
Neuroectoderm
specialized group of cells that differentiates from ectoderm. Gives rise to the respiratory epithelium and cells of glands
