TMJ
I like to bite
histology is lit
lock jaw
i love to study
jaw clicks
100

secondary joints

bone->cartilage->fibrous tissue->cartilage->bones

100

Medial pterygoid

closes the mouth

100

Bones of the TMJ

Glenoid fossa

Condyle of the mandible

Mandible

Condole

100

Masseter

closes the mouth (second biggest)

100

primary joints

bone and cartilage in direct apposition

100

Innervation of the joint type 3

Type 3: Golgi Tendon organs- limited to ligaments

200

Capsular ligament

Divides the joint into two compartment (upper/lower)

Upper is fibrous/elastic and lower is collagen/nonelastic

Resist medial, lateral or inferior forces

Surrounds the joint and holds synovial fluid

Discal (collateral) ligament

-extends from disk

-collagenous

200

2 types of cartilaginous joints

primary and secondary

200

Suture

-permits little to no movement

-functions to allow growth (skull sutures)

200

Muscles contraction

Fasciculi muscle cell bundles
-Sarcolemma- cell membrane of the fiber
-Sarcoplasm-packed with myofibrils and mitochondria

200

Condyle of the mandible

articulating surface of the mandible, the surface is covered by hyaline cartilage

-temporomandibular articulation is covered by layer of fibrous tissue

-the condyle is formed by endochondral ossification

-the mandible and every other flat bone is intramembranous ossification

300

Gomphosis

-movement is restricted, like socketed attachment of tooth to bone by the PDL

300

Temporalis

(biggest)

-closes the mouth

300

3 fibrous joints


suture, gomphosis, syndesmosis

300

Sphenomandibular ligament

one of the accessory ligaments

-keeps the mandible from slipping away

300

Synovial membrane

-lines inner surface of the capsule

-it produces synovial fluid, the fluid lubricates and reduces erosion

400

Disc

-fibrous connective tissue

-concave lower, convex upper

-makes only short movements to fit the changing relationship of the condyle and the glenoid fossa

400

White muscles

-fast, rapid fatigue, anaerobic

-few mitochondria

400

Glenoid fossa

the undersurface of the squamous part of the temporal bone

400

Syndesmosis

two bones some distance apart connected by an interosseous ligament, like fibula and tibia

400

Muscles of mastication (biggest to smallest)

Temporalis
Masseter
Medial pterygoid
Lateral pterygoid

500

Red muscle

slow but sustained, resistant to fatigue, aerobic

-poor myofibrils but many mitochondria

500

Classification of joints

Fibrous (3 types)

-two bones connected by fibrous tissue

Cartilaginous (2 types)

-comes in two forms

Synovial

-allows significant movement, 2 bones connected and surrounded by a capsule (TMJ)

500

Stylomandibular ligament

second accessory ligament

-limits excessive protrusive movements of the mandible

500

Temporomandibular ligament (or lateral ligament)

Two parts

-outer oblique: resists excessive dropping of the condyle

-inner horizontal: limits posterior movement

500

Synovial joint

articular surface covered by hyaline cartilage

-the cavity is filled by synovial fluid formed by synovial membrane, it reduces friction between the joint

-may be separated by an articular disk like the TMJ

-the bone can move uniaxial (one way), biaxial (2), multiaxial

-they can be shaped like a pivot, planar, ginglymoid, arthroid, condyloid, saddle and ball-and-socket

500

Nerve innervation of TMJ

Mandibular branch of Trigeminal nerve
-auriculotemporal
-masseteric
-deep temporal

600

Lateral pterygoid

-superior head closes the mouth

-inferior head opens the mouth

600

Innervation of Joints type 1

Type 1: Ruffini corpuscle (prioception)

600

Innervation of the joint type 2

Type 2: Pacinian corpuscle (mechnoreceptor)

600

External carotid artery



600

Blood supply to TMJ

External carotid artery

-superficial temporal

-deep auricular

-ascending pharyngeal

-anterior tympanic

600

Innervation of the joint type 4

Type 4: Free endings (noiception)- most abundant and it's for pain
