    Study Notes

    Muscles of Mastication

    • Innervated by Motor CN V (Trigeminal Nerve)
    • Origin from 2nd branchial arch
    • Trigeminal ganglion contains pseudounipolar nerve cell bodies, no synapse, primary sensory nerve fibers from the face
    • Motor nucleus for masticatory muscles, mylohyoid, anterior belly of digastric, tensor tympani

    Trigeminal Nuclei

    • Receive proprioceptive fiber synapses going to the brain, forming a reflex arc
    • Example: jaw jerk reflex when biting cheek/tongue

    Trigeminal Ganglion

    • Cell bodies of the trigeminal ganglion contain:
      • Touch from face, mouth, etc.
      • Principal/main (pontine) nuclei
      • Spinal trigeminal nuclei
      • Extends to C3

    Trigeminal Stem

    • Medial pterygoid nerve
    • Tensor tympani nerve
    • Meningeal branch
    • V3 anterior division motor branches
      • Deep temporal nerves (2)
      • Masseteric nerve
      • Lateral pterygoid nerve
    • Sensory branch: Long buccal nerve
      • Penetrates the buccinator but does not innervate V3 posterior division

    Sensory Branches

    • Auriculotemporal nerve: Parotid gland, TMJ, and lateral scalp
    • Lingual nerve: Lingual gingiva and anterior 2/3 of the tongue
    • Medial to the inferior alveolar nerve
    • Inferior alveolar nerve: Mylohyoid, mental, and mucosa
    • Incisive: Terminal branch stays in bone at the 2nd bicuspid
    • Innervates bicuspids, canines, and incisors
    • Molars innervated prior to split

    Motor Branches

    • Mylohyoid branch: Motor innervation to the anterior digastric and the mylohyoid
    • Primarily a motor nerve but also has sensory branches
    • In the mylohyoid groove of the mandible
    • Branches may dive into the bone and attach to the IA nerve
    • Chorda tympani:
      • Branch of CN VII
      • Carries SSA taste fibers from the anterior tongue
      • Secretomotor fibers to salivary glands (Submandibular and Sublingual glands)
      • Joins lingual nerve of V3 in the infratemporal fossa

    Blood Supply

    • Maxillary artery:
      • Mandibular (DAM AI)
      • External carotid to inferior border of the lateral pterygoid muscle
    • Deep auricular
    • Anterior tympanic
    • Middle meningeal
    • Accessory meningeal (not present in everyone)
    • Enters the skull through the foramen ovale
    • Inferior alveolar: Primary blood supply to the mandible
      • Gives rise to the mylohyoid, mental, and incisive branches
    • Pterygoid (DM Less Big Ladies Man)
    • Portion that crosses the lateral pterygoid muscle
    • Deep temporal (2)
    • Medial pterygoid
    • Lateral pterygoid
    • Buccal
    • Lingual
    • Masseteric
    • Pterygopalatine (SPPAID)
      • Portion in the pterygopalatine fossa
      • Follows branches of V2

    TMJ and Jaw Movements

    • TMJ opening: 1st movement is rotation (hinging within the inferior joint space)
    • 2nd rotation is translation (sliding/translation within the superior joint space)
    • Lateral movements: Superficial muscle contraction on the side of movement + deep muscle contraction of the opposite side
    • Opening:
      • Disc translates forward with the mandible
      • Condyle rotates posteriorly over its head
      • Superior retrodiscal lamina stretches, allowing disc to move forwards
    • Closing: Superior head of lateral pterygoid muscle contracts
    • Inferior head is quiet, balancing posterior pull of elastic superior retrodiscal lamina, keeping the disc positioned between the two bones
