This document contains 25 multiple choice questions about the anatomy and function of muscles related to chewing and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The questions cover topics like the origins, insertions and actions of muscles like the masseter, medial and lateral pterygoids. They also address the anatomy of the TMJ, including structures like the articular disc and proprioceptive receptors involved in sensing joint position. Finally, some questions relate to clinical issues involving the TMJ like derangement of the disc, types of joint dislocation, and referred pain patterns.
