tmj and mandibular nerve Flashcards
ARTICULAR surfaces upper and lower of tmj
upper- articular tubercle of
- anterior part of mandibular fossa
-posterior non articular part of tympanic plate
lower- head of the mandible
ligaments of tmj
fibrous capsule, lateral temporomandibular ligament, sphenomandibular and stylomandibular
fibrous capsule
attached upwards to articular tubercle and below to the neck of the mandibile. it is lose above the intraacrticular disc and tight below
lateral ligament
strengthens and tightens the lateral part of capsular ligament
attached upwards to articular tubrcle and blow to the posterolateral part of neck of the mandible
sphenomandibular ligament
accessory ligament
attached to the spine of sphenoid and to the lingula of mandibular foramen
sphenomandibular ligament is related laterally and medially to
laterally- lateral pterygoid muscle
maxillary artery and auricotemporal nerve
medially- chorda tympani
wall of pharynx
stylomandibular ligament
represents the thickened part of deep cervical fascia which seperates the parotid gland and submanibular gland
atatched above to lateral part of styloid process and below to poasterior border of the ramus of the mandible
articular disc is composed of
anterior extensio, anterior thick band, intermediate zone, posterior thick band and bilaminar disk containing venous plexus
