Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints01:03

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints

4.4K
Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and minimal to no movement between the articulating bones. There are three types of fibrous joints.
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

Tonsillitis I: Introduction

2.9K
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils, which are two lymphoid tissue masses at the back of the throat. This condition can cause discomfort and irritation in the throat.
Etiology
Three primary contributing factors have been identified.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.2K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

6.7K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Articulations of the Vertebral Column01:28

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

3.6K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and primary headaches, affecting many, are linked by the trigeminal system. Understanding this connection aids in diagnosing and treating these debilitating conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Dentistry
  • Pain Medicine

Background:

  • Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and primary headaches are common, debilitating conditions.
  • Historically, TMDs were viewed as musculoskeletal and migraines as cerebrovascular, but their relationship is increasingly recognized.
  • The trigeminal system plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of both TMD and headaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the association between TMD and primary headaches.
  • To elucidate the role of the trigeminal system in linking TMD and migraine.
  • To review current understanding of prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment for both conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on the trigeminal system's role.
  • Analysis of recent data on TMD and headache prevalence.
  • Discussion of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Main Results:

  • The trigeminal system is a key neuroanatomical link between TMD and migraine.
  • Prevalence data indicate a significant overlap between these conditions.
  • Current treatments for TMD and headaches may benefit from considering their shared pathophysiology.

Conclusions:

  • TMD and primary headaches share common pathways, particularly involving the trigeminal system.
  • A comprehensive approach integrating TMD and headache management is warranted.
  • Further research into the trigeminal system can improve patient outcomes.
