Which main artery (and its branches) supply the deep face and describe its course?

. Maxillary artery
. It arises posterior to the neck of the mandible, courses under the mandibular condyle, and then passes superficial or deep to the lateral pterygoid
. It then passes medially from the infratemporal fossa through the pterygomaxillary fissure to enter the pterygopalatine fossa.

The mandibular nerve (CN V3) is somatic sensory (SA) from which structures?

Study These Flashcards

. Skin of temporal region
. Mandible and chin
. Anterior 2/3 of tongue
. Mucosa of lower oral cavity/lower teeth

The mandibular nerve’s (CN V3) branchiomotor fibers innervate which muscles?

Study These Flashcards

. Muscles of mastication
. Mylohyoid
. Anterior belly of digastric
. Tensor veli palatini
. Tensor tympani

What are the six major branches of CN V3?

Study These Flashcards

. Muscle nerve branches (masseteric, deep temporal, lateral/medial pterygoid)
. Inferior alveolar nerve
. Mylohyoid nerve
. Auriculotemporal nerve
. Buccal nerve
. Lingual nerve

Where does the mylohyoid nerve come from and what does it supply? What are the functional components?

Study These Flashcards

. Branch off of the inferior alveolar nerve
. Supplies the mylohyoid AND anterior belly of digastric
. BM, SA

What are the functional components of the inferior alveolar nerve? Do they change?

Study These Flashcards

. BM and SA
. Yes, after it gives off the mylohyoid nerve at the mandibular foramen it is only SA
. Goes on to innervate the mandibular teeth

Where does the mental nerve come from? What are the functional components? What does it supply?

. The inferior alveolar nerve becomes the mental nerve after passing through the mental foramen . SA . Innervates the chin

What are the function components of the buccal nerve? What does it supply?

. SA | . Skin and oral mucosa of the cheeks and adjacent gingiva

What are the functional components of the auriculotemporal nerve and what does it supply? What structure passes through the auriculotemporal nerve?

. SA and para/post fibers from the otic ganglion that supply the parotid gland . Anterior ear and temporal regions . Middle meningeal artery

Describe path of lingual nerve

Begins as a V3 branch with SA fibers (3rd part) Receives VE-para/pre fibers when the chorda tympani merges with it (2nd part) The VE-para/pre fibers at the submandibular ganglion and hop back on the lingual nerve as para/post fibers to innervate the submandibular and sublingual glands (1st part) SS-taste fibers from the anterior 2/3 of tongue course through the 1st and 2nd parts and are carried away by the chorda tympani

Functional components of lingual nerve?

3 - SA 2 - SA, VE-para/post, VA, ss-taste 1 - SA, VE-para/post, VE-sym/post, VA, ss-taste

functional components of chorda tympani?

ss-taste from anterior 2/3 of tongue | VE-para/pre and VA

Where is the otic ganglion found and what kind of ganglion is it

Parasympathetic ganglion | Deep face, outside foramen ovale but medial to V3

What type of joint is the TMJ

modified hinge-type synovial

What are the 3 articular surfaces

mandibular fossa mandibular condyle articular tubercle on the temporal bone

Articular surfaces of the TMJ are covered by what? What divides the joint into two separate joint cavities?

Fibrocartilage | Articular disc

Lateral ligament and postglenoid tubercle of TMJ?

Lateral ligament strengthens TMJ | Postglenoid tubercle prevents posterior displacement of joint

Stylomandibular and sphenomandibular ligaments? | Extrinsic ligaments

Stylomandibular does not really contribute to the strength of the TMJ but it connects the styloid process to the angle of the mandible Sphenomandibular connects the spine of the sphenoid to the lingula of the mandible (does same thing as stylomandibular)

Gliding (translation) motion?

movement of TMJ between articular disc and mandibular fossa (superior joint cavity)

Rotary (hinge-type) motion

Movement of TMJ between articular disc and head of mandible (inferior joint cavity)

Innervation of masseter? Function?

V3 | Elevates and protrudes mandible

Innervation of temporalis? Function?

V3 | Elevates and retracts mandible

Lateral pterygoid innervation and function

V3 | Lateral deviation, depression, protrusion

Medial pterygoid innervation and function

V3 | Lateral deviation, elevation, protrusion

Muscles involved in elevation

Temporalis Masster Medial pterygoid

Muscles involved in protrusion

Lateral pterygoid Medial pterygoid Masseter

Retraction?

Temporalis

Depression?

Lateral pterygoid Gravity, anterior belly of digastric, and mylohyoid help with depression. Minor.

Lateral deviation

Lateral pterygoid Medial pterygoid Temporalis Masster

Tetanus or lock-jaw

Clostridium tetani | Affects the NMJ and causes muscle to tighten up in a tonic spasm

Dislocation of the TMJ

excessive contraction of the lateral pterygoids may cause the heads of the mandibles to dislocate anteriorly, by passing anterior to the articular tubercles.
