  3. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporomandibular_joint...

    Clicking often accompanies either jaw opening or closing, and usually occurs towards the end of the movement. The noise indicates that the articular disc has suddenly moved to and from a temporarily displaced position (disk displacement with reduction) to allow completion of a phase of movement of the mandible.

  9. Muscles of mastication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_mastication

    In humans, the mandible, or lower jaw, is connected to the temporal bone of the skull via the temporomandibular joint. This is an extremely complex joint which permits movement in all planes. The muscles of mastication originate on the skull and insert into the mandible, thereby allowing for jaw movements during contraction.
