STRUCTURE & FUNCTION

Understand what you see.

Anterior superior triangular process of ramus.

Zoom into the original labels. Practise pointing out each structure, then explain it aloud. Diagrams are teaching references; specimen appearance and slide staining vary.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

How to recognise it.

  1. Anterior superior triangular process of ramus
  2. Lies anterior to the mandibular notch
  3. Receives the temporalis tendon
02 / KEY STRUCTURES

Point them out.

Tap a number to open its reference, zoom in and locate the structure. Numbers stay the same across views. This key follows landmarks visible in the reference images.

Related features & study points (2)

Additional relations, attachments or microscopic details to revise alongside this plate. These are separate from its numbered image landmarks.

  • Temporalis tendon
  • Anterior ramus
03 / VIVA PRACTICE

Think first. Then reveal.

Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.

Examiner-style prompts: identify the structure, explain its relations, then answer the applied follow-up. These are revision questions, not authenticated past papers.

01Identify coronoid process of mandible and justify your identification.
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Anterior superior triangular process of ramus. Lies anterior to the mandibular notch. Receives the temporalis tendon.

02Which muscle inserts here?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Temporalis inserts on the coronoid process and anterior border of the ramus.

03Is this the articular process of the TMJ?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

No. The posterior condylar process participates in the TMJ.
