What articulates with the head of the condyle to form the tempero-mandibular joint?

The head of the condyle articulates with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This joint allows for the movements of the jaw, including opening and closing, as well as lateral movements. The articular disc, which is a fibrocartilaginous structure, also plays a crucial role in the TMJ by cushioning the joint and facilitating smooth movement.
