Anatomy of the Muscles - Johann Georg Heck's Bilder Atlas


The lower jaw is articulated with the temporal bone in such a manner as to admit of considerable freedom of motion in an antero-posterior and lateral, and still more in a vertical direction (figs. 1, 2, 3). An interarticular cartilage is placed in the joint for greater freedom of movement (Fig. 3 -1). On each side of this cartilage is a synovial membrane separating it from the two faces of the joint. The external lateral ligament (fig. 1 -1) arises from the inferior margin of the root of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, and is inserted into the neck of the condyloid process. The internal lateral ligament (fig. 2-1) arises from the spinous process of the sphenoid bone, and is inserted into the spine bordering the posterior mental foramen. The stylo-maxillary ligament (figs. 1, 2, 3 -2) passes from the external side of the styloid process, and is inserted into the posterior margin of the jaw, near its angle. FIG. 4 -2.
