TMJ
thyroid cartilage
-"adam's apple" -inferior to hyoid bone -provides attachment for infrahyoid muscles
joint capsule
-envelopes TMJ
hyoid bone
-horse shoe shaped bone laying superior to thyroid cartilage around C3 -provides attachment for tongue muscles, suprahyoid & infrahyoid muscles
stylohyoid ligament
-ligament -from styloid process of temporal bone to hyoid bone -holds hyoid bone in place
lateral ligament
-ligament -mandibular condyle to tubercle of temporal bone -limits downward, posterior, and lateral motions of mandible
sphenomandibular ligament
-ligament -spine of sphenoid bone to anterior ramus of mandible -suspends mandible & limits excessive anterior motion
stylomandibular ligament
-ligament -styloid process of temporal bone to posterior ramus of mandible -limits excessive anterior motion
