Is the coronoid process of the mandible anterior or posterior to the mandibular condyle?
Anterior
The jaw joint is an articulation of?
the condyle of the mandible with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone.
What bones does the maxilla articulate with?
The mandibular condyle articulates with the mandibular fossae of the temporal bone.
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 is the origin and insertion of the gluteus maximus?
Origin: the gluteus maximus originates from the posterior inferior surface of the sacrum and coccyx, and the posterior medial surface of the ilium.Insertion: the gluteus maximus inserts into the gluteal tuberosity on the posterior aspect of the femur, and the anterior aspect of the lateral tibial condyle.
Is the coronoid process of the mandible anterior or posterior to the mandibular condyle?
Anterior
What is the function of Mandibular Condyle?
the mandibular condyles open the jaw
The jaw joint is an articulation of?
the condyle of the mandible with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone.
What bones does the maxilla articulate with?
The mandibular condyle articulates with the mandibular fossae of the temporal bone.
What are the landmark of mandible?
- head or condyle - mandibular notch or condular notch - neck ~just under the condyle - ramus - body - angle - mental foramen - protuberance~ the chin - alveolar processes of the mandible - oblique line

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.
The medial condyle of the femur articulates with the medial condyle of the?
The medial condyle of the tibia
What is a rounded process called?
condyle
What is a process just above a condyle?
condyle
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.
