    The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the articulation between the squamous portion of the temporal bone and the condyle of the mandible. It is a ginglymoarthrodial joint because it has both a hinge and a gliding action. The TMJ allows for both hinge-like and gliding movements when opening and closing the mouth.
