Passing obliquely from in front and above backward and downward, as a streng- 

 thening ligament of the capsula articularis, is the Ugamentum temporomandibulare. 

 It arises on the lateral surface (0. T. external lateral ligament) by a broad base at 

 the root of the processus zygomaticus ossis temporalis and is fastened to the collum 

 (neck) of the processus condyloideus mandibulae; median ward a weaker fibrous band 

 proceeds from the region of the fissura petrotympanica to the collum processus condy- 

 loidei mandibulae (see Fig. 206).
