WEEK 6 - TMJ Flashcards
What is the TMJ comprised of
- articular surfaces
- stabilising structures
list the articular surfaces of TMJ
- head of the condyle of the mandible
- mandibular/glenoid/articular fossa and articular tubercle of the temporal bone
- articular disc
list the stabilising structures of the TMJ
- joint capsule and lateral ligament
- postglenoid tubercle
- stylomanidbular ligament
- sphenomandibular ligament
is TMJ atypical or typical synovial joint
atypical
what makes TMJ atypical
articulating surfaces are fibrocartilage NOT hyaline
what is the joint of the TMJ
GINGLYMOARTHRODIAL JOINT - hinge and sliding join t
list the movements of the TMJ
depression (opening the mouth)
- anterior rotation
- translation
- anterior rotation
- elevation (closing mouth)
- portrusion - forward movement
- retrusion
list the muscles of mastication
- temporalis
- masseter
- lateral pterygoid
- medial pterygoid
list the accessory muscles of mastication
- digastric muscle
- buccinator muscle
