Part of the temporal bone that forms part of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Triangular ligament supporting the TMJ; on the lateral aspect of the joint.

Part of the temporal bone, on the superior surface of the TMJ, forming part of the joint.

A capsule surrounding the TMJ, attached to its periphery.

Muscle that inserts on the TMJ, playing a role in jaw movements.

A cord-like ligament located on the posterior aspect of the TMJ, connecting the styloid process to the angle and posterior border of the mandible.

A cord-like ligament located on the medial aspect of the TMJ, connecting the sphenoid bone to the lingula of the mandible.

The movement of opening the mouth, combining a hinge-like rotation of the mandible and a gliding movement of the articular disc.

A muscle that plays a major role in depression (opening) of the mandible, assisting the articular disc forward and downward.

The movement of closing the mouth, mainly done by the medial pterygoid, masseter, and temporalis muscles.

The forward movement of the mandible, primarily generated by the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles.

Temporomandibular Joint; The joint connecting the jawbone to the skull.

Structures that connect the bones of the TMJ, providing stability.

A rotational movement around a fixed axis. Used for mouth opening and closing.

Sliding movement; used during TMJ opening, with movement of the mandible in relation to temporal bone.

The junction of the parietal, occipital, and mastoid portions of the temporal bones.

Membranous areas in the infant skull, allowing for overlap during birth.

Rhomboid-shaped fontanelle that closes at 1.5 years.

Triangular fontanelle that closes at 6 months.

The three depressions within the cranium: anterior, middle, and posterior.

The topmost cranial fossa, housing parts of frontal lobe.

Middle Cranial fossa holds the temporal lobes.

The lowest cranial fossa containing the cerebellum.

The lower jawbone

The vertical part of the mandible.

The horizontal part of the mandible.

The margin where the teeth are housed.

Paired wing-like structures of the sphenoid bone.

A bony projection on the chin.

Indentation between the ramus and the coronoid process.

Bone that forms part of the side and base of the skull.
