Ligaments of TMJ; are they which are extra or intracapsular 

medial and lateral collateral ligaments blend with capsule 

stylomandibular and sphenomandibular ligaments are extracapsular 

100

Facial N. CN 7

100

Muscles responsible for Down and Out eye movement. 

abduct: lateral rectus 

depress: superior oblique 

intorsion: superior rectus 

*oculomotor n impaired 

200

Facial n. impairment 

unilateral face drooping, inability to taste (anterior 2/3 of tongue), facial weakness 

200

Muscle that allows for smiling.

zygomaticus major and minor 

200

Motion of the TMJ

1st motion the mandible and lower joint space spin and rotates 

2nd motion the whole joint translates anterior 


200

What muscles attachment to the mastoid process?

Digastric (posterior belly)

Splenius Capitis 

Longissimus Capitis 

SCM


200

Muscles responsible for Up and Out

abduct: lateral rectus 

elevate: inferior oblique 

extorsion: inferior rectus 

*trochlear n impaired 

300

Trochlear n. impairment of the eye 

impaired trochlear n could have "up and out" or tilted head due to torsional diplopia or vertical diplopia (double vision)

300
Muscle that allows you to wink or squint

orbicularis oculi

300

TMJ movement 

elevation: temporalis, masseter and medial pterygoid

depression: digastric, lateral pterygoids, infrahyoids and suprahyoids 

protrusion: lateral & medial pterygoids, masseter

retrusion: temporalis & masseter 

lateral mvmt: temporalis of same side, pterygoids of opposite side and masseter 

300

What muscles attach to the nuchal line? 

Semispinalis Capitis 

Trapezius 

SCM

Obliques Capitis Superior 

Rectus Capitis Posterior Major 

Rectus Capitis Posterior Minor 

300

What happens when the abducens nerve is impaired. 

eye is stuck in adduction 

*abducens supplies motor to lateral rectus 

400

Hypoglossal n. impairment 

dysphagia, dysarthria, inability to protrude tongue (deviated towards affected side)

400

Muscle that allows for pouting with lip pulled down

mentalis

400

Maxillary artery sections

1st: mandibular 

2nd: pterygoid 

3rd: pterygopalatine 

400

Risorius Action

part of dilators of mouth, depresses labial commissure and bilaterally to frown 

400

Superior Oblique mm action and innervation 

abduct, depress and medially rotate; innervated by trochlear nerve (CN 4)

500

Patient has difficulty swallowing, elevating/retracting shoulder and rotating neck 

spinal accessory n 

500

Muscle that allows for cheeks to be filled with air.

Buccinator and orbicularis oris 
500

Most common TMJ disorder and cause; 2nd most common? 

internal derangement; caused by laxity, mm imbalance, trauma or grinding teeth 

degenerative joint disease, developmental anomalies, trauma, arthritis

500

Action of Infrahyoids and Suprahyoids

infrahyoids: depress hyoid and aid in speech and swallowing 

suprahyoids: elevate and pull hyoid to aid in speech and swallowing 

500

Name the three disorders of the visual field and where they occur. 

Monocular Vision Loss: optic nerve severed in one eye. One eye has vision loss. 

Bitemporal Hemianopia: optic chiasm cut down the middle. Peripheral visual loss on both eyes. 

Contralateral Homonymous Hemianopia: optic tract cut. Visual loss on side of each eye where the cut was. EX: right tract cut, right side of both eyes will be lost
