Week 2 Wet again Flashcards
Parts of Mandible?
Starting at the middle:
- Symphisis
- Mental Foramen
- Body of Mandible
- Angle of Mandible
- Ramus
- Coronoid process (the ant one)
- Mandibular Condyle (The Post one) [Connects to ramus by a neck]
# Also mandibular foramen on the inside of the ramus # Mylohyoid line on the inside of the body/ramus where the mylohyoid muscle connects # Also Mental Spines on internal surface of symphisis
How many teeth do you have?
Primary:
- 8 incisors
- 4 canines
- 8 molars
Permanent:
- 8 incisors
- 4 canines
- 8 premolars
- 12 molars
Describe what makes up the TMJ and what kind fo joint it is?
Temporomandibular joint
Synovial Hinge and sliding
Mandibular Condyle + Mandibular fossa of temporal bone
Function of TMJ?
- Depresses & Elevates Mandible
- Protrudes & Retracts mandible
- Side to side movement of mandible
List the muscles of mastication?
Temporalis
Masseter
Lateral & Medial Pterygoid
Suprahyoids also depress the mandible (except stylohyoid)
Attachments & function of temporalis muscle?
Temporal lines of parietal bone
Coronoid process of mandible
Horizontal fibes - Retract mandible
Verticle fibres - Elevate mandible
Attachments and function of masseter?
Zygomatic Arch
Outer ramus and Coronoid process of mandible
Elevates mandible
Attachment and functions of lateral pterygoid muscles?
- Lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate
- Neck of mandible within joint capsule of TMJ
Protraction of mandible
Attachment and functions of medial pterygoid muscles?
Medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate
Medial surface of mandibular ramus
Elevate Mandible
How do you produce side to side movement of the TMJ?
Contract contralateral medial and lateral pterygoids
What is the inferior alveolar nerve?
Sensory branch of V3
Enters mandibular foramen
From where does the Mandibular Division of V3 give off its motor branches?
The infratemporal fossa
Functions of the nose?
- Traps Dirt
- Humidifies and warms air
- Smell
- Draining sinuses
- Vocal Resonance
Bones of the Lateral Nasal wall:
- Frontal
- Nasal
- Maxilla
- Ethmoid
- Inf Turbinate
- Palatine
- Sphenoid
Bones/cartilage of nasal septum?
Perpendicular plate of ethmoid
Vomer
NAsal Cartilage
