TIPS Flashcards
fibers of fan shape muscles of mastication go from temporal fossa→ coroniod process mandible
Temporalis muscle
Contents of Temporal fossa
temporalis muscle
. Posteriorly + Superiorly: Temporal Lines
Anteriorly: Frontal and Zygomatic bones
Laterally: Zygomatic Arch
Inferiorly: Infratemporal Crest—a ridge formed by temporal and sphenoid bones deep 2 zyg.. arch
Floor: bones in region of pterion
Boudary of Temporalis fossa
inferior to zyg arch and posterior to maxilla, deep to mandible
Inferior temporal fossa
Muscles in Infratemporal fossa invervated by
V3
elevates mandible/retracts mandible (moves it posteriorly)
Temporalis
lateral to zyg arch, cnxt to inf angle of ramus (not technically IN infratemp fossa)
–lifts up angle of mandible = ELEVATION
Masseter
Muscle of Mastication ______ thus bilaterally will ______ the mandible
(PAIRED STRUCTURES)
protract or protrude
FORWARD
bilateral for protraction of mandible and depresses chin
Lateral Ptyergoid
unilaterally contractions (one then other) will be used for large chewing motions or GRINDING
Lateral pterygoid
Inserts at greater wing and lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate→capsule of TMJ + condyloid process
Lateral ptyergoid
Inserts at medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate → medial aspect of ramus of mandible
Medial pterygoid
Bilateral: elevalte mandible and protrube chin
Medial ptyergoid
Unilateral motion: small chewing motions
Medial ptyergoid
Common Feature of muscles of mastication is their attachment to which bone?
A: Mandible
Only muscle of mastication that contributes to opening of jaw?
A: Lateral Pterygoid
Temporormandibular Joint (TMJ) 1.\_\_\_\_\_ w/ synovial btwn; between mandibular condyle and mandibular fossa
Hinge joint
connects zyg arch→condyle of mandible
*Intrinsic part; other two are extrinsic
Lateral ligament
connects styloid process→ poster aspect of ramus of mandible
-doesn’t limit mvmt of jaw, extrinsic
Stylomandibular ligament:
from sphenoid bone→ projection called lingula on medial aspect of ramus w/ mandibular foramen near there (mylogyoid branch of inferior alveolar artery and mylohyoid nerve)
–limits extent you can open jaw, extrinsic
Sphenomandiublar lig:
lined w/ synovial membranes + fluid
-fibers here are LOOSE to allow for sliding mvts of condyl
Upper compartment:
-fibers here are TIGHT limit to rotational movements
Lower compartment
