Question
Answer
Superior mental spines are the attachment for what muscle? Inferior mental spines?   Superior: Genioglossus. Inferior: Geniohyoid  
🗑
TMJ description   Upper and Lower synovial cavity separated by a articular disc. Weakest stabilizing element is joint capsule.  
🗑
Name ligaments that stabilize the TMJ   Lateral TM ligamnet, sphenomandibular and stylomandibular which guides the jaw in the process to rotate  
🗑
Occlusal plane   Where teeth meet one another  
🗑
What vessels are found in the infratemporal fossa?   Maxillary artery, middle meningeal and auriculotemporal nerve  
🗑
Auricolutemporal nerve   Sensory nerve to the fascia of partoid gland and to side of temple and around the ear  
🗑
Petrotempanic fissure contents   Fibers attach here and chroda tympani comes out  
🗑
What part of the cavity of TMJ does translation take place? Rotation?   Upper cavity: Translation. Lower Cavity: Rotation for elevation and depression  
🗑
Masseter muscle action   Closer of the mouth and will pull jaw up (Oblique and Vertical portion)  
🗑
Temporalis fascia role   Holds zygomatic arch in place and opposes forces of masseter muscle  
🗑
Buccinator muscle role   Responsible for keeping food on teeth as we chew and getting excess food out of lateral side of mouth. Motor: Facial nerve. Sensory: Buccal branch of Mandibular  
🗑
Lateral Pterygoid muscle   Attaches to lateral side of lateral plate. Superior head attached at capsule. Inferior head attached at neck. Protrudes mandible and keeps meniscus in place  
🗑
Medial Pterygoid muscle   Attaches to medial side of lateral plate. Fibers join up with masseter muscle  
🗑
What nerves provide proprioception to TMJ?   Masseteric and auriculotemporal nerve  
🗑
Parotid gland   Medial component invades infratemporal fossa. Sits in a bed. Sensory to fascia from auriculotemporal nerve.  
🗑
Otic ganglion   Post-synaptic parasympathetic that makes the parotid gland squirt  
🗑
What nerve carries the pre-synaptic fibers to otic ganglion?   Glossopharyngeal nerve  
🗑
Lesser pertrosal nerve routes   Can go through the foramen ovale, foramen spinosum or its own unnamed foramen. Finds otic ganglion, synapses then makes it squirt  
🗑
