Q

components of temporomandibular ligament

A
  • Outer portion (OOP)

  • Inner portion (IHP):
    • extends from articular tubercle of zygomatic process to lateral pole of condyle and posterior part of articular disc
    • Function: limits posterior movement of the condyle and disc

Q

where are free nerve endings of C and A delta type fibers and what is their function?

A
  • The posterior and posterolateral region of the joint capsule
  • conduct pain impulses from the joint.This is part of a feedback mechanism that limits excessive mandibular movements.

Q

what is position at rest?

A

occlusal surfaces of the teeth are a few millimeters apart and the condyles rest lightly on the posterior slope of the articular eminence.

18
Q

centric occlusion

A

teeth come into maximal contact and the condyles are in their uppermost position in the mandibular fossae and related anteriorly to the distal slope of the articular eminence. This is not a restful position (teeth clenched) because muscular effort is required to maintain it.

19
Q

T/F. Retrodisco head (posterior to condyle head)is vascularized

A

T

20
Q

what are layers of the surface of the condyle?

A

articular zone, proliferative zone, fibrocartilaginous zone, calcified cartilage zone

21
Q

what is articular zone?

A

dense fibrous connective tissue with collagen fibers arranged in bundles parallel to the articular surface

22
Q

what is proliferative zone?

A

primarily cellular. Contains undifferentiated mesenchymal tissue. Responsible for proliferation of articular cartilage in response to functional demands during loading.

23
Q

what is fobrocartilaginous zone?

A

collagen fibrils arranged in bundles in a crossing pattern. Provides a three-dimensional network for offering resistance against compressive and lateral forces.

24
Q

what is calcified cartilage zone?

A

contains chondrocytes & chondroblasts. The chondrocytes hypertrophy and die, providing a scaffold on which bone cells can grow and proliferate.

25
Q

T/F. Vast majority of articular disk is avascular, except for the superior portion.

A

T

26
Q

T/F.The superior portion of the retrodiscal region contains some elastic fibers and is the only portion which does.

A

T

27
Q

components of articular disk

A
  • Majority composed of Type I Collagen with a small bit of Type III
  • Glycosamingoglycans composed 5% of dry weight
  • 80% of glycosaminoglycans are chondroitin sulfate with about 15% being dermatan sulfate
  • Posterior region of the disk is the bilaminar zone also known as the retrodiscal pad.
28
Q

Synovial membrane of the joint capsule

A
  • Lines the inner aspect of the joint capsule
  • Consists of two layers
    • Intimal cellular layer – contains two types of cells
      • Type A – phagocytic
      • Type B – synthesize hyaluronic acid that is found in the synovial fluid
    • Subintimal layer – contains blood vessels and lymphatics within a loose connective tissue matrix
  • The synovium secretes fluids for lubrication and possibly nourishment of the opposing articular surfaces. There is a constant turnover of synovial fluid to eliminate cellular debris within the joint cavity.
29
Q

A

Temporalis
Masseter
Lateral pterygoid
Medial pterygoid

30
Q

temporalis

A

-Origin: temporal lines and temporal fascia
