-frontal bone
-parietal bone
-greater wing of the sphenoid
6
what is the pterion
-what crosses over it?
area of articulation of the temporal bone, frontal bone, parietal bone, and greater wing of sphenoid
middle meningeal artery crosses over it within the cranial cavity
7
when is the middle meningeal artery at risk
lateral head injuries
8
temporal fossa contents
temporalis muscle
superficial temporal artery (over temporalis muscle; one of two terminal branches of external carotid artery)
auriculotemporal nerve (over muscle)
9
auriculotemporal nerve
-function
-location
sensory to the temporal region
originates in the infratemporal fossa as a branch of V3
emerges anterior to the auricle from deep to the parotid gland
10
infratemporal fossa
-location
inferior and deep to the zygomatic arch and posterior to the mandible
11
infratempral fossa
-borders
lateral wall
-ramus of mandible
medial wall
-lateral pterygoid plate
anterior wall
-infratemporal surface of maxilla
posterior wall
-condylar process of mandible
-styloid process of temporal bone
roof
-inferior surface of greater wing of sphenoid bone
floor
-level where medial pterygoid attaches to angle/ramus of mandible
12
foraminae of the infratemporal fossa
-contents in each
foramen ovale
-mandibular division of trigeminal nerve
foramen spinosum
-middle meningeal artery
13
primary nerve of the infratemporal fossa
mandibular division (V3) of trigeminal nerve
exits foramen ovale as mandibular nerve and then branches in many named nerves
14
branches of V3 of trigeminal nerve
auriculotemporal
inferior alveolar
lingual
buccal
named muscular branches for each muscle of mastication
15
auriculotemporal nerve
-function
sensory to around the ear
carries glossopharyngeal fibers to the parotid [gland]
production of saliva
16
inferior alveolar nerve
-function
sensory to the
-teeth of the mandible
-skin overlying the chin and mandible
17
lingual nerve
-function
-chorda tympani function
somatosensation to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue
chorda tympani
-branch of facial nerve that joint lingual to carry taste from anterior 2/3 of the tongue
18
buccal nerve
-function
sensation over cheek
19
vessels of the infratemporal fossa
maxillary artery
-terminal branch of external carotid
-number of branches that are described with respect to their position to the lateral pterygoid
-middle meningeal and inferior alveolar are most important and easiest to find during dissection
20
pterygopalatine fossa

-lies between
continuous medially from infratemporal fossa through pterygomaxillary fissure
continuous anteriorly with the orbit through the inferior orbital fissure
continuous posteriorly with middle cranial fossa through foramen rotundum
continuous medially with nasal cavity through the sphenopalatine foramen
lies between
-sphenoid bone posteriorly
-maxilla anteriorly
21
pterygopalatine fossa contents
foramina

-inferior orbital fissure
nerves
-maxillary division of V2 branches into infraorbital nerve carrying sensation from the skin overlying the maxillary and zygomatic regions
vessels
-maxillary artery branches
-infraorbital artery
22
temporomandibular joint

-components
modified synovial hinge joint
components
-head of condyle of mandible
-mandibular fossa with articular tubercle
-articular disc within joint that is fused with articular capsule
23
TMJ articular capsule
-thickened _____ as the _____
-other ligaments that support the connection of the mandible to the base of the skull
thickened laterally as the lateral temporomandibular ligament (strong ligament of the capsule
other ligaments
