The Temporomandibular joint

/in /by

The temporomandibular joint is unique in that it allows gliding (protraction and retraction of the mandible) and hinge-like movements (chewing).

What landmark of the mandible is covered with cartilage/an articular surface at its most superior aspect (this is not mentioned in Visible Body so you will need to use other resources or other parts of Visible Body to answer this question)?
