Abstract
For the purpose of this handbook, only relevant embryology and anatomy shall be covered, since the number of notions that TMJ anatomy encompasses cannot all be contained here. Besides, it would be beyond the scope of this chapter, which ultimately is to provide knowledge that corresponds and braids with MRI anatomy.
