Q

motor unit with few or a lot of fibers? muscles examples?

A

motor unit= motor neuron and # of muscle fibers it innervates

  • few= precise movement (lateral pterygoid)
  • more fibers= gross function (masseter)

Q

stretch/myotactic reflex? determines what?

Study These Flashcards
A

causes contraction when a sudden forces stretches them

***determines muscle tonus

23
Q

What is the computer board of brain? does what?

Study These Flashcards
A

CNS= thalamus= controls and directs signals from cortex

24
Q

primary pain

Study These Flashcards
A

site and source of pain are the SAME

heterotropic pain has different site and source

25
TMJ innervated by? BS?
innervated by auriculotemporal nerve and BS is superficial temporal, middle meningeal artery, and maxillary artery
26
functional vs accessory ligaments examples
* functional= collateral, capsular, temporomandibular | * accessory= sphenomandibular, stylomendibular
27
articular disc attaches?
posteriorly to retrodiscal tissue and anteriorly to capsular ligament
28
what forms sling?
medial pterygoid forms sling with masseter laterally
29
denture bite force compared to normal?
1/4 of natural teeth
30
tongue thrusting
habit where tongue pushes excessively against incisors when swallowing, causes flaring of teeth
31
occlusal table
* occlusal surfaces of teeth * between B and L cusp tips of posterior teeth * ~50-60% of BL width of tooth
32
buccoocclusal (BO) line vs linguooclusal (LO) line vs central fossa (CF) line?
* BO= line through all buccalcusp tips of MD posterior teeth * LO= line through all lingual cusp tips of MX posterior teeth * CF= line though central grooves of MX and MD teeth
33
centric cusps contact?
the opposing central fossa line in central fossa areas
34
what do lingual and buccal embrasures do? which is better?
lingual> buccal | **guide food towards tongue
35
nociceptor, proprioceptors, interoceptors?
* nociceptor- pain * proprioceptors- position and movement * interoceptors- internal organ
36
muscle spindles do what?
monitor length within skeletal muscle
37
golgi tendon organ does what?
monitors muscle tension
38
pacinian corpuscle does what?
movement and firm pressure?
39
retrodiscal ligament does NOT?
stretch
40
isotonic vs isometric?
* isotonic= shortening under load | * isometric= contract without shortening
41
controlled relaxation vs eccentric contraction?
* controlled relaxation= lengthening with decreases motor unit stimulation * eccentric contraction= lengthening while contracting simultaneously
42
central pattern generator (CPG)? | It's two phases?
higher centers in brain that control the activity of the specific muscle involved in chewing stroke 1) opening= mandible drops, then moves laterally 2) closing= crush and grind, buccal cusps of MX and MD are aligned then teeth guided to MI
43
central pattern control
breathe, walk, chew; brain stem
44
central excitatory effect
deep pain input to CNS, stimulates non-associated neurons
45
spinal tract recieves info from?
receives periodontal and pulpal afferent (from trigeminal nerve)
46
reticular formation influences?
on pain
47
describe the two reflex arches?
stimulus response 1) myotactic- causes contraction with stretched 2) nociceptive- protective; biting hard, causing mandible to drop quickly
48
reciprocal innervation controls?
antagonistic muscles
49
regulation of muscle activity?
gamma efferent system
50
secondary hyperalgesia?
increased tissues sensitivity without local cause
51
overjet vs overbite vs open bite?
* over-jet= horizontal * over bite= vertical * open bite= no contact
52
gliding contact
passing of cusp inclines
53
tall cusps and deep fossae = ____ chewing stroke?
vertical
54
worn and flat teeth= ____ chewing stroke?
broader
