Summary To the articulatio temporomandibularis of the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) The mandibular joint of the cat is an incongruent cylindrical joint, which works as a hinge or screw joint. The course of motion is unilateral in the plane of the cutting edge of the molar/premolar border P4/M1 The articular disc is a connective tissue membran: its new function is decreasing the friction.
