Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/TMJ)to learn about TMJ. Opening of the mouth requires thecombination of two motions at the temporomandibularjoint, an anterior gliding motion of the articular disc andmandible and the downward hinging of the mandible. Whatis the initial movement of the mandible during opening andhow much mouth opening does this produce?
