Examinations of the curvature morphology of the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) in macerated human skulls yielded that in initial protrusive cranial border motion, parts of the condylar articulating surfaces are only functional under force transmission. These areas were found on the lateral-central side of the condyle. In contrast to the Cercopithecus mona, a monkey species, the human TMJ apparently possesses a distinctly higher spatial performance range.
对浸泡脱脂的人类颅骨颞下颌关节(TMJ)的曲率形态进行检查后发现,在颅骨初始前伸边界运动中,髁突关节表面的部分区域仅在力传递时起作用。这些区域位于髁突的外侧中央。与猕猴这一猴类物种相比,人类颞下颌关节显然具有明显更高的空间运动范围。
