Is the coronoid process of the mandible anterior or posterior to the mandibular condyle?

The coronoid process of the mandible is anterior to the mandibular condyle. It serves as the site of attachment for the temporalis muscle, which plays a role in closing the jaw during chewing.


What bones does the maxilla articulate with?

The mandibular condyle articulates with the mandibular fossae of the temporal bone.


Bone pain behind the external acoustic meatus probably involves the?

temporomandibular joint or the mandibular condyle, commonly due to temporomandibular joint disorders or osteoarthritis. It is advisable to seek evaluation from a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management.


Where is the wrisberg ligament located?

The ligament of Wrisberg is in the knee. It runs from the medial femoral condyle behind the posterior cruciate ligament to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. If the ligament runs in front of the posterior cruciate ligament, it is a ligament of Humphries.


What ligament is on the knee area posterior side of femur on tibia?

Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.

What is the function of Mandibular Condyle?

The mandibular condyle is a rounded projection at the end of the mandible that articulates with the skull to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Its function is to allow for smooth and controlled movements of the jaw during activities such as chewing, speaking, and yawning.

In Bennett movement there is movement of which condyle?

the movement of mandible toward lateral causes movement in both right and left condyles. For example, if one moves one's mandible (lower jaw) toward right, the right conlye moves laterally and the left goes downward, forward, and medially, so the left condyle is defined as nonworking and the right condyle as working. the movement of nonworking condyle,in this example left condyle, forms an angle between sagittal plan and direction of nonworking condyle, which is called Bennett angle.

What about the mandible is not true It articulates with the skull at the A styloid process B occipital condyle C mandibular fossa D zygomatic arch E medial pterygoid?

The mandible does articulate with the skull at the C mandibular fossa. All the other choices are untrue. In addition, it is FALSE that mandibles are soft and flexible. It IS TRUE that the mandible continues to grow and harden even through old age.
