Question
Answer
Name the four muscles of mastication:   Masseter, Temporalis, Medial Pterygoid, Lateral Pterygoid  
🗑
Name the 8 bony landmarks for the muscles of mastication:   Temporal fossa, coronoid process, ramus, zygomatic arch, sphenoid bone, palatine bone, maxillary tuberosity, condyle  
🗑
What part of the sphenoid bone is a bony landmark for the muscles of mastication?   Greater wing (medial and lateral pterygoid plate)  
🗑
What nerve are the muscles of mastication innervated by?   V3 of the trigeminal nerve  
🗑
What branch are the muscles embriologically derived from?   1st branchial arch  
🗑
Which muscle(s) are involved with elevation of the mandible?   Masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid  
🗑
Which muscle(s) are involved with protrusion or depression?   Lateral pterygoid  
🗑
Which muscle arises from two heads?   Masseter  
🗑
What are the two heads of the masseter muscle called?   Deep head and superficial head of the masseter  
🗑
What is the origin and insertion of the superficial head of the masseter?   Origin- Posterior 1/3 and medial surface of the zygomatic arch Insertion- Lateral surface of ramus and angle of mandible  
🗑
What is the origin and insertion of the deep head of the masseter?   Origin- Zygomatic process of the maxilla and anterior 2/3 of the lower border of the zygomatic arch Insertion- Lateral surface of ramus and angle of mandible  
🗑
Action of the masseter muscle:   Elevate the angle of the mandible  
🗑
Action of the temporalis muscle:   Elevates the coronoid process and retracts the jaw  
🗑
What is the origin and insertion of the temporalis muscle?   Origin- temporal fossa of parietal and frontal bones; below the superior temporal line and from temporal fascia Insertion- coronoid process and anterior border of the ramus  
🗑
Action of the internal (medial) pterygoid muscle:   Elevate the angle of the jaw and sideways movement  
🗑
What is the origin and insertion of the internal (medial) pterygoid muscle?   Origin- medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate and tuberosity of maxillary bone. Insertion- medial surface of ramus and angle of mandible  
🗑
Which muscle involves drawing the condyles of the mandible forward resulting in the TMJ opening?   External (lateral) pterygoid muscle  
🗑
What are the two groups of muscles that have an influence on the movement of the mandible?   Suprahyoid muscles and muscles of mastication  
🗑
Which muscles are considered accessory muscles to the mandible?   Geniohyoid, mylohyoid, digastric  
🗑
Which group of muscles assist the lateral pterygoid muscles in depressing the mandible?   Suprahyoid muscles  
🗑
Which group of muscles assist the temporalis muscles in retraction?   Suprahyoid muscles  
🗑
Which of the suprahyoid muscles does not directly influence the mandible?   Stylohyoid  
🗑
What needs to happen in order for the suprahyoids to depress the jaw?   The infrahyoids must stabilize the hyoid bone in a downward position.  
🗑
The vertical position of the hyoid bone is determined by what?   Contraction of the muscles attached to its superior and inferior borders.  
🗑
What structres do the infrahyoid muslces extend down to?   From the hyoid bone to the clavicle and sternum  
🗑
What are the three pairs of basic movements of the mandible?   elevation and depression/protrustion and retraction/right and left lateral shift  
🗑
What is the jaw held in position by?   A balance between the depressor and elevator muscles (except in occlusion)  
🗑
Name the two movements that require relaxation of the suprahyoids:   Elevation and protrusion  
🗑
Name the two movements that require contraction of the lateral pterygoid:   Depression and protrusion  
🗑
Name the two movements that require relaxation of the lateral pterygoid:   Retraction and elevation  
🗑
When the lateral pterygoids and suprahyoids contract to depress the mandible, there must be relaxation of which muscles?   Masseter, temporalis, and medial pterygoid  
🗑
