[The temporomandibular joint 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 [symbol: see text]. The articular disc is a connective tissue membrane; its new function is decreasing the friction.
