189: when the mouth is closed, the thicker posterior band lies immediately above the condyle. when opening the thinner zone become above it and when maximally opened the condyle is beneath the anterior band
Correct: i read my surgery book (petrson and tucker) which states that the thin zone of the condyle always translate with the condyle and stays in the same relationship through out mouth opening?

4- temporalis muscle originates from the inferior o superior temporal line?
superior temporal line coz temporal muscle arises from the temporal fossa and the deep part of temporal fascia and this fascia is a single layer, attached to the entire extent of the superior temporal line;,so i think it should be superior temporal line
check wikipedia for more info.

pb2007: I checked online but couldn't find a certain answer. in netter's anatomy atlas the area indicated as the origin was the superior line but in the decks it's the inferior. however, since the many mistakes I found in the decks I feel that it's the superior 😳



also, in patho card # 252 states that 75% o myasthema gravis patients have abnormal thymus such as thyoma. card 216 that 1% of patients present with a thyoma! checked my medical dictionary it says some, while in the myasthenia graves book (from Google) the percentage was 15% .. which one is correct?
