The jaw joint is an articulation of?
the condyle of the mandible with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone.
What is the skull bone that connects to the lower jaw?
The temporal bone.
What bone of the skull articulates with the atlas?
the occipital bone
A joint that holds skull bones together?
tempormandibular joint.anatomically - it is a condyloid type of joint.structurally - it is a synovial joint.functionally - it is a polyaxial joint (biaxial joint).it is the only movable joint of the head. peculiarity of the joint is, joints of both sides move together.bones taking part:proximally- mandibular fossa of the temporal bone and articular tubercle.distally - head of the mandible is convex. a thin layer of fibrocartilage lines mandibular fossa and head of mandible.
What are the cranial bones?
It would be impossible to descride the location OS the bones without a diagram in any degree of accuracy as there are very many and they are in complicated arrangements. There is the Occipital bone (at the very back, articulates with the spine), 2 Parietal bones (at the top of the sides), 2 Temporal bones (at the bottom of the sides), 2 Zygomatic bones (the cheek bones), the Sphenoidal bone (butterfly shaped inside the head), the Ethmoid bone (very much hidden inside the facial bone structure), the Frontal bone (in the forehead), 2 Lacrimal bones (small ones in the eye socket) , the Nasal bone (the very top part of the nose), the Maxilla bone (the one behind the upper lip) and the Mandible bone (the jaw bone).
The jaw joint is an articulation of?
the condyle of the mandible with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone.
What is the skull bone that connects to the lower jaw?
The temporal bone.
What muscle originates on the temporal fossa?
The muscle that originates on the temporal fossa is the temporalis muscle. It is a fan-shaped muscle located on the side of the head. It is responsible for the movement of the jaw, including chewing and closing the mouth.
What bone of the skull articulates with the atlas?
the occipital bone
What two bones does the jaw joint include?
The jaw joint, also known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), includes the mandible (lower jaw bone) and the temporal bone (part of the skull).
Number of origins of the temporalis muscle?
THE ORIGIN OF THE TEMPORALIS MUSCLE IS TEMPORAL FOSSA Insertion: Coronid process of the mandible Function/Action: Closes Jaw
What is the scientific name of lower jaw?
The scientific name for the lower jaw is the mandible. It is a bone that forms the lower part of the skull and is involved in functions such as chewing and speaking.
Describe the action of the temporomandibular joint?
You have the mandible or the jaw bone attached at the temporomandibular joint. this is condyloid type of joint. The temporal bone is too thin here and the reason can not be explained. Never the less fracture of temporal bone is expected here but then it is very uncommon.

What muscle opens and closes your jaw?
Gravity plays a large part in opening the jaw, but there are muscles that help forcefully open your jaw. The most important of these is the digastric muscle, which connects from the mastoid process of the temporal bone to the hyoid bone, and then from the hyoid bone to the digastric fossa of the mandible.
Why does your jaw make a popping sound when you open your mouth?
it is called TMJ (Temporo Mandibular Joint) and theres like a disc in your jaw ,so when you close it ,it falls out of place and when you open your mouth thats it popping back into where it belongs.
