Q

activation of the left lateral pterygoid causes what action

Study These Flashcards
A

right opening

24
Q

activation of the right masseter and the left medial pterygoid causes which action

Study These Flashcards
A

closing to the right

25
activation of the masseter and medial pterygoids causes what action
closing and protrusion
26
activation of the inf head of the lateral pterygoid
opening and protrusion
27
activation of the digastric, geniohyoid, mylohyoid (and lateral pterygoid)
opening of the mouth (depression of the mandible)
28
activation of the masseter, temporalis (ant. and middle) and the medial pterygoid
elevation of the mandible (closing)
29
activation of the post temporalis
retraction
30
how can the co-contraction of the left medial pterygoid and the right masseter cause movement of the mandible to the right?
the constituent Force vectors of each muscle are directed both sup. and to the right (medially for the pterygoid and lat for the masseter) I always hated physics...
31
Only muscle capable of retruding the mandible (according to Kirchoff)
the post. part of the temporalis, do not be confused though... in Dental Anatomy we said that only the sup. part of the retrodiscal ligament (I believe) retracts the mandible
32
How can part of the temporalis be involved in retracting the mandible
the post most fibers have an origin post to the TMJ and are the only muscle fibers which have such an origin
33
during rest, where are each of the condyles
at rest, symmetrically, in their glenoid fossas
34
during the start of jaw opening, which (2) muscles will contract to move the mandible anteriorly and to the left (the working side aka laterotrusive movement)
the right inferior head of the lateral pterygoid in conjunction with the suprahyoid muscles (the infrahyoid's probably assist here too but are not mentioned)
35
During closing movement, which (2) muscles move the mandible to the right during the power stroke (crushing the food)
The left medial pterygoid
36
After a power stroke, what happens to the mandible and which muscles are involved in this movement
the posterior fibers of the temporalis (according to Kirchoff) retrude the mandible in order to bring the balancing side condyle back into the mandibular fossa
37
Explain one full cycle of chewing (movements of the mandible and the general muscles involved) *long response
The mandible begins by opening (depressing) and moving ant.; these actions are caused by the opposite side (mediotrusive or non-working side) inferior head of the lateral pterygoid as well as the suprahyoid.. The mandible then closes (power stroke) which is caused by the same side masseter and the opposite side medial pterygoid. Lastly, the post fibers of the temporalis will work to retrude the mandible, fixing the condyles back in their fossae for the next cycle.
38
protrusion during elevation is caused by which muscles
masseter and medial pterygoid (bilateral)
39
what is the prime mover of depression
Gravity, against resistance the lateral pterygoid and the suprahyoids assist
40
muscles which elevate the mandible
masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid
41
where does the pterygoid venous plexus receive blood from (2)
receives blood from veins that accompany the maxillary artery and from the cavernous sinus via emissary veins
42
where does the pterygoid plexus drain
via the deep facial vein
43
Location of the otic ganglion
medial to CNV
44
What synapses at the otic ganglion
parasympathetic fibers from CN 9 (think COPS 3977) headed to the parotid gland
45
how do parasympathetic fibers from CN9 get to the parotid gland
they hop on the auriculotemporal n. (CN V3)
46
General sensory branches of V3 (6)
Meningeal Buccal (long) Auriculotemporal Lingual Inferior Alveolar Mental MBA LIM
47
Motor innervation of CNV3 (4)
Muscles of mastication Nerve to mylohyoid The two tensors... tensor veli palatini tensor tympani
48
Where does CNV3 exit the skull
foramen ovale
49
Where does the inf alveolar branch of CNV3 enter and exit the face
it enters the mandibular foramen (think post mandible) and exits via the mental foramen (of the ant mandible)
50
General sensory sensations done by CNV3 | 5ish
Lateral face, chin, lower lip ant 2/3 of the tongue via the lingual nerve (NOT taste) Dura mater in the middle Cranial Fossa TMJ via the auriculotemporal
51
Ant. 2/3 of the tongue taste (be specific)
CNVII via chorda tympani
52
Ant. 2/3 of the tongue sensation (CN and branch)
CN V3, the lingual branch of V3
53
Track the pathway of chorda tympani
From CNVII it runs ant where it joins with the lingual nerve of CNV3 to the submandibular/sublingual ganglion and the tongue
54
where does chorda tympani join the lingual nerve (branch of V3)
the infratemporal fossa
55
Which nerve largely does general sensation to the TMJ
auriculotemporal branch of CNV3
56
the deep temporal nerves pass into which muscle and from which direction
the temporalis m. and medially
57
the nerve to mylohyoid innervates what (2)
mylohyoid | ant. belly of the digastric m.
