20
Q

in terms of TMJ movements, TMJ is a — which means —- joint.

A

ginglymoarthrosis, sliding hinge joint.

21
Q

what are the movements involved in opening of mouth?

A

rotation, sliding forward and second rotation of head of condyle.

22
Q

what is the arterial supply to TMJ?

A

branches of ex.carotid: superficial temporal, ascending pharyngeal, deep auricular (branch of maxillary artery).
(SAD).

23
Q

Venous drainage of tmj?

A

pterygoid venous plexus

24
Q

innervation of tmj?

A

proprioception and pain from branches of anterior and posterior divisions of mandibular nerve: masseteric, auriculotemporal, deep temporal (MAD).

25
Q

innervation, blood supply and drainage of muscles of mastication?

A

motor: branches of anterior division of mandibular nerve, except medial pterygoid which is from the trunk.
- arterial supply is one of the two main terminal branches of ex. carotid; superficial temporal OR branches of maxillary artery.
- venous drainage: pterygoid venous plexus.

26
Q

what are the attachments of masseter on both parts?

A

medial side of maxillary process of zygomer and anterior zygomatic arch to angle and ramus of mandible. Deep part also connects zygomatic arch to coronoid process.

27
Q

what is the arterial supply of masseter?

A

masseteric, facial and transverse facial arteries.

28
Q

what are the attachments of temporalis fascia and muscle?

A

fascia: superior temporal line & zygomatic arch.
muscle: arises from temporal fossa and temporalis fascia , forms a thick tendon which goes deep to zygomatic arch and inserts medial to coronoid process and upper ramus.

29
Q

blood supply of temporalis?

A

deep temporal branches of maxillary artery with contributions from superficial temporal artery.

30
Q

attachments of lateral pterygoid muscle?

A

upper head: infratemporal surface of sphenoid /lateral to lateral pterygoid plate.
lower head: lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate. Both insert into neck of condyle of mandible and capsule of TMJ.

31
Q

what is the arterial supply of lateral pterygoid muscle?

A

lateral pterygoid branch of maxillary artery

32
Q

what are the attachments of medial pterygoid?

A

deep head arises from medial side of lateral pterygoid plate.
superficial head arises from pyramidal process of palatine bone . both heads go to medial surface of ramus.

33
Q

relationship of lateral pterygoid with other structures:

  • maxillary artery passes— or —- to —- of lateral ptery then —– into ——.

  • lateral to it you have—-
  • medial to it are —-, —–,—-.
  • between lower border of lower head —–, —- and —- pass.
A
  • superficial or deep to lower head, then between thr two heads to go into pterygopalatine fossa.
  • between two heads.
  • tendon of temporalis.
  • middle meningeal artery, sphenomandibular ligament and chorda tympani.
