What is the relationship of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with the cervical spine?
What will be an ideal response?
ANS: Muscles that attach to the mandible also attach to the head, hyoid bone, and clavicle.
Consequently, these muscles may act on the atlanto-occipital joint and cervical spine as well as the
TMJ. Conversely, head and neck position may affect the length-tension relationship of these
muscles and indirectly affect the function of the TMJ.
