What is insertion and origin of muscles ? - answer insertion: bone where muscle
attaches to ..the bone that usually moves
Origin: stable bone where muscle originates from.

What is the action of the medial ptyergoid? - answer Elevates/closes the mandible,
aids in protrusion (same as masseter)
moves the jaw to it's side in side-side movements (same as masseter)
Acts like a sling with the masseter muscle.

What is the function of the lateral pterygoid? - answerAids in opening/depressing the
mandible
Protrudes the mandible
moves mandible to opposite side in side-side movements

What muscles are elevator muscles and help close the jaw during mastication? -
answerMasseter
Medial pterygoid
Temporalis

What muscles are depressor muscles and help open the jaw? - answerLateral pterygoid
Suprahyoid (digastric)

What are the two components to the masseter muscle? - answerSuperficial and deep
masseter

What is the origin and insertion of the Masseter muscle? - answerOrigin - the outer
surface of the zygoma
Insertion - Lower boarder of the ramus

What is the action of the masseter muscle? - answerElevation of mandible
aids in protrusion
moves mandible to it's side in side-side movements
There is also fibers that can help in retrusion but it's very minor

What are the three components of the temporalis muscle? - answerAnterior, Middle and
Posterior

What is the origin and insertion of the temporalis muscle? - answerOrigin - Temporal
fossa and lateral surface of the skull
Insertion - Coronoid process and anterior ascending ramus

,What is the action of the temporalis muscle? - answerelevates/closes
Retrusion of mandible

What is the origin and insertion of the medial pterygoid muscle? - answerOrigin -
pterygoid fossa
Insertion - medial surface of the mandibular angle

If a unilateral contractions happens of the medial pterygoid, what do you get? -
answerMedio-trusive movement (non-working side moves)
One condyle translates
while the other rotates (working side)
Balancing side movement

What are the two components of the lateral ptyergoid? - answerSuperior and Inferior

What is the origin and insertion of the SUPERIOR lateral ptyergoid? - answerOrigin -
Infratemporal surface of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone
Insertion - Medial portion of the articular disc (30-40%), Neck of the condyle

What is the origin and insertion of the INFERIOR lateral ptyergoid? - answerOrigin -
outer surface of lateral pterygoid plate
Insertion - neck of condyle

If you get a lateral ptyergoid spasm, which side of the mouth would you have an
interference? - answer•Discludes the dentition on the affected side (posterior)
•Causes premature contact of the anterior teeth on the contralateral side

What is the origin and insertion of the anterior belly of the 5uprahyoid digastric muscle?
- answer•Origin -lingual surface of mandible at the midline
•Insertion -intermediate tendon on hyoid bone
•Innervated by the 5th cranial nerve - 5 and S

What is the origin and insertion of the posterior belly of the suprahyoid digastric muscle?
- answer•Origin -mastoid notch
•Insertion -intermediate tendon on the hyoid bone
•Innervated by the 7th cranial nerve

What is the action of the suprahyoid digastric muscle? - answerAction
-depresses the mandible
-accessory opening muscle

Which biomechanic movement of the condyle is a "hinge" movement? Where does it
occur? - answerRotational movement
-occurs between the condyle and the disc

,Which biomechanic movement of the condyle is a "gliding" movement? Where does it
occur? - answerTranslational movement
- occurs between the disc and the fossa

If one joint is not translating, The mandible will deviate to the __________ side -
answeraffected

A slight translation in the horizontal plane of the "working side" of the condyle is known
as _________ movement. - answerBennett Movement
-Bodily shift of the mandible in the direction of the working condyle
- Just stating that when the jaw is moving right, the mandibular body of the left is is
moving over the horizontal plan.

In a left lateral movement, the right condyle moves ________ and the left condyle shifts
in a ________ _______ direction - answer- forward
- lateral posterior

In a left lateral movement, which side is the "working" side? - answerLeft

In a left lateral movement, which side is the "non-working" or "balancing side" -
answerRight

applied? - answerMETRIC
Horizontal

In functional contractions, you have Iso________ contractions. Which direction are the
forces applied? - answerTONIC
Vertical

What is : "A stereotyped movement disorder characterized by rhythmic masticatory
muscle activity associated with tooth grinding and occasional tooth clenching" -

wear (attrition, wear facets)
-masticatory muscle hypertrophy
- muscle tenderness

T/F. Bruxism is common in children. - answerTrue.
