Question	Answer
The head of condyle articulates with	Articular tubercle and anterior part of mandibular fossa
The mandibular fossa is in	Temporal bone
The articular surfaces of mandible and temporal bone is interposed by	Articular disc
The anterior region of articular disc fuses with	Fibrous capsule
The posterior region of articular disc fuses with fibrous capsule by	Bilaminar zone
The loose connective attachment at the posterior border of articular disc facilitates	Anterior movement
The medial and lateral surface/ corners of articular disc are attached to	Condyle of mandible
The articular space can be divided in to	Lower condylodiscal and upper temporodiscal compartments
In saggital section the shape of the articular meniscus is	Biconcave
The vasuclarization of bilaminar zone of the posterior band of the articular disc is	Richly vascularized and innervated
The superior stratum of bilaminar zone of the posterior band of the articular disc is attached to the	Posterior wall of mandibular fossa; Squamoustymapanic suture
The inferior stratum of bilaminar zone of the posterior band of the articular disc is attached to the	Mandibular condyle
The rotational movement of the Temporomandibular joint occurs in	Inferior portion
The rotational movement across an axis through heads of condyle of Temporomandibular joint results in	Opening of jaws
The translatory movement of articular disc results in	Anterior and Posterior movement of jaws
The articular capsule is strengthened by	Lateral ligament
The inner aspect of the Temporomandibular joint capsule is lined by	Synovial membrane
The synovial membrane does not line	Surface of disc; Articular tubercle; Condylar head
The indication of a Temporomandibular joint is seen at the ________ week of embryo.	Tenth
In embryo, Temporomandibular joint cavities appear around the	Twelfth week
The condyle of mandible is made up of	Cancellous bone covered by thin compact bone
The trabeculae at the condylar head radiate from neck and meets the cortex at	Right angle
With increase in age, trabeculae of the condyle	Thickens
A layer of hyaline cartilage under the fibrous covering of head of condyle indicates	Period of active growth
The roof of mandibular fossa is made of	Thin compact bone
The articular tubercle is composed of	Cancellous bone covered by thin compact bone
The articular fibrous connective tissue of an adult contains varying number of	Chondrocytes
The number of  chondrocytes in the articular fibrous covering of Temporomandibular joint	Increases with age
The fibrous connective tissue lining the posterior articular tubercle has	Three zones
The inner zone of the fibrous covering posterior articular tubercle has fibers at	Right angles to bone
The blood supply in central area of articular disc is	Devoid of blood supply
Temporomandibular joint can be best described as a	Ginglymo arthroidal synovial joint
According to phylogenetics the primary jaw joint in the humans is the	Incudomalleolar articulation. Temporomandibular joint is a secondary joint in phylogenetics as the joint from the Meckel’s cartilage is the Incudomaleolar joint
The type of collagen elaborated by the chondroblast in condylar cartilage during formation of the condyle is the	Type II collagen
At birth the articular eminence is	Not formed
The fan shaped ligament associated with the Temporomandibular joint is the	Temporomandibular ligament
The residual perichondrium of Meckel’s cartilage is present as	Sphenomandibular ligament

The folds or the microvilli in the synovial membrane	Increases with age. The folds of the synovial membrane increases with age and in pathology.
The first indication of the Temporomandibular joint is the formation of the	Temporal blastema. After the temporal blastema is formed, condylar blastema is formed in mesenchymal condensation.
The fibrous layer covering condyle is lined by a vascular fibrous connective tissue is the	Lamina splendens
