Practice Question

Identify the anatomical movement illustrated below and state the joint involved (for example flexion of the knee joint).

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Mandible protraction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)

Rationale:

🔴 The image shows the mandible moving anteriorly (forward), as indicated by the red arrow.

🔴 This action is called protraction, where the lower jaw shifts outward from its resting position.

🔴 The movement occurs at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), a hinge and gliding synovial joint.

🔴 Muscles responsible include the lateral pterygoid and medial pterygoid, which pull the mandible forward.

🔴 This motion is essential in actions like pushing the jaw forward or biting.
