3 1. Intra-articular ligaments of the temporomandibular joint are: A Lig. temporomandibulare laterale 2. As masticatory (chewing) muscles are considered: A M. masseter, pars profundus and pars superficialis B M. temporalis, pars anterior and pars posterior C M. pterygoideus medialis, pars anterior and pars posterior D M. pterygoideus lateralis, pars inferior, pars intermedius and pars superior 3. The anterior temporomandibular joint capsule shows attachments with: B Os temporale, anterior of the tuberculum or eminentia articulare D M. pterygoideus lateralis, pars superior 4. Typical physiological characteristics of the discus articularis of the temporomandibular joint are: A Three-dimensional biconcave hat shaped B The posterior border is in the vertical line on top of the head of the mandible or slightly anterior (11 or 12 o’clock position) and shows two ligamentous attachments C Designed for equilibration and suspension between the fossa of the temporal bone and mandibular head in all positions of the mandible D Can move over the mandibular head passively; muscular activity is not required 5. Excursive movements of the temporomandibular joint are: 6. Physiological characteristics of depression (mouth opening) are: A Average range of motion measured between the incisives is 36–50 mm, including overbite B Average range of motion measured between the incisives is equal with the width of two fingers of the same person C Condylar rotation along a frontal axis during initial depression (arthrokinematics of the lower joint compartment) D Limited mouth opening is related with the occurrence of mental depression 7. The temporomandibular joint differs from most other synovial peripheral joints in the human body by: A The temporomandibular joint never develops degenerative changes B The head of the mandible has fibrous cartilage C The left and right joints have one common distal joint partner D Teeth contribute to movement behaviour, movement guidance and resting position of the joint
