Articular eminence

What is the smooth, rounded ridge positioned anterior to the articular fossa? It is a protuberance on the inferior aspect of the zygomatic process.

Subluxation

What is the term for the dislocation of the TMJ when the head of each condyle moves too far anteriorly on the articular eminence?

Gliding and rotational

A cap-like shape structure on the mandibular condyle with its superior aspect concavoconvex from anterior to posterior and its inferior aspect concave:

Muscles of mastication

During both mandibular protrusion and retraction, the rotation of the articulating surface of the mandible against the joint disc in the lower synovial cavity is prevented by the:
