TMJ and Blood Supply Flashcards
T/F: spasms in either the SCM and trapezius muscles can refer pain to the TMJ
true
T/F: The left common carotid artery branches directly off the aortic arch
true
T/F: The right subclavian artery branches directly off the aortic arch
false; left subclavian
T/F: Bruxism is a process of the CNS rather than mastication process
true
T/F: Clenching is caused by malocclusion
false; compression
T/F: Most TMJ symptoms come from the joint disc
false
T/F: Joint sounds are not reliable indicators of TMD since they can change over time in a patient
true
T/F: The normal condition is for the teeth to be slightly parted at rest and the muscles relaxed
true
T/F: The power stroke involves a movement from a laterally deviated position back to the midline
true
T/F: The rotational movement of the TMJ occurs mainly between the disc and the condyle of the mandibular in the upper synovial cavity
false
T/F: The pterygoid plexus of veins may be involved in the spread of infection to the cavernous venous sinus
true
T/F: The venous sinuses are located in the meninges of the brain
true
T/F: Elevation and retraction of the mandible involves both gliding in both upper synovial cavities and rotation in both the lower synovial cavities
true
T/F: The external carotid artery has no branches in the neck
False
T/F: The gliding movement of the TMJ occurs mainly between the disc and the articular eminence of the mandible in the upper synovial cavity
false
T/F: The posterior area of attachment of the disc to the capsule is one of the places where nerves and blood vessels enter the joint
true
T/F: Veins are generally larger and more numerous than arteries in the same tissue area
true
T/F: The internal jugular originates in the cranial cavity
true
T/F: The rotational movement of the TMJ occurs mainly between the disc and the condyle of the mandibular in the synovial cavity.
true
All of the following run in the carotid sheath except
hypoglossus
The external jugular terminates into the

superior vena cava
Another name for a heart attack is
myocardial infarction
Most of the tissues of the head and neck is drained by the
internal jugular v.
Tissue destruction is termed
gangrene
Another name for stroke is
cerebrovascular accident

maxillary v.
The pterygoid plexus protects the
maxillary a.
The cavernous venous sinus is located on each side of the body of the
sphenoid bone
Landmark located on the mandible
coronoid process
Protrusions of the mandible primarily involves
bringing jaw forward
Structure secretes synovial fluid
inner membrane lining of capsule
Which of the following about the TMJ is false
gliding movements
Artery that anastomoses with the anterior superior alveolar artery
posterior superior alveolar artery
A venous sinus of the vascular system is a
blood filled space between 2 layers of tissue
Blood vessel lesion may result when a clot on inner blood vessel wall becomes dislodged and travels in the vessel
embolus
Vein results from merger of superficial temporal vein and the maxillary vein
retromandibular vein
Vein that drains the tissue of the orbit
ophthalmic
Lower lip area drained by _____ into ______

capillary
Ligament that is vestige of Meckel’s cartilage
sphenomandibular ligament
Ligament that forms reinforcement of the capsule of the TMJ
temporomandibular ligament
Ligament that is landmark for administration of a local anesthetic for inferior alveolar block
sphenomandibular ligament
Depression and protrusion occurs
speech and mastication
Suprahyoids would be involved in
depression and protrusion of mandible
Ligament that runs from styloid process of temporal bone to the angle of the mandible
stylomandibular ligament
Bilateral contraction of posterior portion of temporalis would cause
retraction of mandible
Gliding in one upper synovial cavity and rotation in the opposite upper synovial cavity will cause
lateral deviation
Bilateral contraction of lateral pterygoids will cause
protrusion of mandible
Muscles involved in elevation and retraction of mandible except
lateral pterygoid
Habitual grinding of teeth is termed
bruxism
TMJ can be palpated just anterior to the
external acoustic meatus of each ear
Prolonged holding of teeth together by masticatory muscles is termed
clenching
Muscles, when fully contracted, helps close the jaw
temporalis
Dislocation of both TMJ joints defines
subluxation
