===Temperomandibular Joint===
===Temporomandibular Joint===
The articulation between the condylar process of the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Mandible (mandibula)|mandible]] and the mandibular process of the skull. It is a compartmentalised joint for rotational movement and lateral slide (grinding). It is a '''synovial joint'''. Caudal dislocation is prevented by a prominent retro-articular process (enlargement of the fossa).
