TMJ Biomechanics - 2 Flashcards
blank joints with each movement of tmj
4
this separates upper and lower joint of tmj
temporomandibular disc
type of joint made by mandibular condyle and inferior surface of disk
hinge
type of joint made by articular eminence and superior surface of disk
planar
tmj is a blank joint without blank and instead has blank
synovial, hyaline, fibrocartilage
orientation of disc
thick, thin, thick
poles of mandibular condyle
lateral, medial
unable to palpate blank pole
medial
coronoid process is only palpable when mouth is blank because it goes under blank arch when blank
open, zygomatic, close
muscle attaching to coronoid process
temporalis
temporalis bone has a blank where the blank sits
glenoid fossa, mandibular condyle
articular eminence of temporalis bone is blank bone
trabecular
temporalis articular eminence on mandibular condyle is blank on blank
convex, convex
glenoid fossa on mandibular condyle is blank on blank
convex, concave
condyle at glenoid fossa is blank which means it cannot resist blank
thin/translucent, compression
contact when opening jaw occurs at the blank
articular eminence
articular eminence has blank cartilage
fibro
most fibrocartilage is found at articular eminence and anterosuperior condyle which shows that it blank
resists compression
deep fibers of articular eminence and condyle are aligned blank
perpendicular
superficial fibers of articular eminence and condyle are aligned blank for blank
parallel, shear forces
tmj is blank because it goes convex, concave, concave, convex
congruent
articular disk is blank to medial and lateral poles
firmly attached
articular disk is blank to medial and lateral capsule
not firmly attached
not firmly attached allows for blank
free rotation
articular disk is anteriorly attached to joint capsule and blank muscle
lateral pterygoid
