TMJ Flashcards
where does the motor division of trigeminal pass through out of skull?
foramen ovale
where is the cell body of the sensory division of trigeminal ganglion located and what type of neuron is it?
unipolar and located in trigeminal ganglion
where is the trigeminal ganglion located?
between periosteal and meningeal layers of dura in Meckel’s cave
do all trigeminal fibres have their cell bodies in the t.ganglion?
no, proprioceptive axons of muscles of mastication do not have their cell bodies in the trigeminal ganglion.
what are the branches of mandibular nerve trunk and where do they pass through?
meningeal branch-foramen spinosum , medial pterygoid which branches into tensor tympani and tensor palati, also another branch that goes into medial pterygoid muscle.
what structures pass through foramen spinosum?
meningeal branch of mandibular nerve and middle meningeal artery to supply meninges of middle cranial fossa and mastoid hair cells
what are they branches of mandibular nerve anterior division?
nerves supplying muscles of mastication except medial pterygoid.
e.g. masseteric nerve, 2-3 deep temporal nerves, lateral pterygoid nerve =all motor, + buccal nerve (sensory)
what are the sensory branches of mandibular nerve ?
buccal branch and proprioceptive branches to muscles muscles of mastication, posterior division branches i.e. lingual, inferior alveolar (mixed), auriculotemporal (cutaneous sensory), mental and incisive nerves.
what does the buccal nerve supply?
cheek, buccal mucosa, buccal gingiva over mandibular molars.
what are the branches of mandibular nerve posterior division and their modality?
lingual(sensory), auriculotemporal(cutaneous sensory) and inferior alveolar nerve(mixed motor and sensory) which gives off mylohyoid branch before entering mandibular foramen. Then gives off terminal branches of mental and incisive nerves before 1st and 2nd premolars.
mental nerve is a —– branch (modality) of —— nerve
cutaneous, inferior alveolar nerve
list auricular surfaces of TMJ?
head of condyle of mandible, mandibular/glenoid fossa of temporal bone, anterior articular tubercle of temporal bone, complete articular disc attached to joint capsule
what are the stabilising structures of TMJ”?
joint capsule, posterior glenoid tubercle, stylomandibular ligament, sphenomandibular ligament and lateral ligament
complete the following regarding TMJ structures:
- Disk is made out of …and it’s thick…..
- capsule is …. except …… which is …. &…..
- stylomandibular ligament is derived from….
- condyle & squamous temporal both develop as ….. bones except for …. which develop by ……. from the specialised cartilage covering these surfaces.
- fibrocartilage, medially and posteriorly
- collagen, posterosuperior which is collagen and elastic
- posterior parotid capsule
- membrane bones, head of condyle and articular fossa, endochondral ossification.
petrotympanic fissure is …… to mandibular fossa.
posterior
sphenomandibular ligament attaches to?
spine of sphenoid to lingula
both superior and inferior surfaces of tmj capsule are lined with….., which is a specialised…… covering.
synovial membrane, fibrocellular
what type of joint is TMJ?and why?
atypical synovial, not covered with hyaline cartilage instead covered with fibrocartilage.
