Study Notes
Muscles of the Face and Skull
- The orbicularis oculi muscle is responsible for closing the eyelids.
- The levator palpebrae superioris muscle is responsible for elevating and retracting the upper eyelid.
- The muscles of the scalp, forehead, and eyebrows originate from the aponeurotic layer of the skull.
- The stylomandibular ligament separates the parotid gland from the submandibular gland and limits movement of the mandible at the TMJ.
TMJ and Mastication
- The movement involved in opening the mouth is depression.
- The external carotid artery and its branches supply the brain.
- The internal jugular and external jugular veins drain all of the blood from the head and neck.
- The muscles involved in the mastication process are the masseter, temporalis, and medial and lateral pterygoids.
- The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is located in the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone.
Ligaments and Joints
- The articular disc separates the joint cavity of the TMJ into superior and inferior compartments.
- The temporomandibular ligament strengthens the TMJ laterally and helps prevent posterior dislocation of the mandible.
- The sphenomandibular ligament extends from the spine of the sphenoid to the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible.
- The stylomandibular ligament extends from the styloid process of the temporal bone to the inferior and posterior borders of the ramus of the mandible.
Additional Facts
- Dislocation of the TMJ commonly occurs when the mouth is open wide and the condyle of the mandible moves anterior to the articulating surface of the temporal bone.
- There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves.
- The auriculotemporalis muscles are relatively unimportant in humans.
- The auriculotemporalis muscles help to direct the ears toward the sources of sounds.
- The buccinator muscle helps keep food in the mouth and resists distension of the mouth.
- The buccinator muscle presses cheeks against teeth and lips, as in whistling.
- The orbicularis oris muscle is responsible for closing and protruding the lips, such as in kissing.
- The mentalis muscle retracts the various borders of the oral fissure collectively, in groups, or individually.
- The temporalis muscle originates from the temporal fossa and fascia and inserts on the coronoid process and anterior border of the ramus of the mandible.
- The masseter muscle originates from the zygomatic arch and inserts on the lateral surface of the ramus of the mandible.
- The medial pterygoid muscle mainly originates from the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone and inserts on the medial surface of the angle of the mandible.
- The lateral pterygoid muscle mainly originates from the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone and inserts on the articular disc and the neck of the mandible.
