5. Paired Bones of Cranial Vault Flashcards
SBS flexion moves the paired bones into what type of motion?
External rotation
So SBS extension=internal rotation
What other bones do the parietal bones make contact with? (5)
Other parietal Frontal Occiput Temporal Sphenoid
What fontanelles do the parietal bones make contact with? (4)
Bregma (ant. fontanelle)
Lambda (post. fontanelle)
Pterion (sphenoid fontanelle)
Asterion (mastoid fontanelle)
What axis do the parietal bones move about?
Sagittal Axis
Move in a Coronal Plane
How many axis(es) do the parietal bones have?
Two sagittal in coronal plane
During flexion, which direction does the sagittal articulation move and which way does the temporal articulations move OF PARIETAL BONE?
Sagittal articulation moves inferiorly, temporals move laterally
During extension, which direction does the sagittal articulation move and which way does the temporal articulations move OF THE PARIETAL BONE?
Sagittal articulation moves superior
Temporals move medially
What clinical signs and symptoms are associated with parietal dysfunction?
Cranial synostosis
Head pain (tension headaches), face, tooth pain
Middle meningeal artery issues
What is sagittal synostosis?
Where the sagittal suture fuses, head grows in an elongated “watermelon” shape
PARIETAL BONE
What is lambdoid synostosis?
Where the lambdoid suture fuses in infancy
Head becomes tilted on the cranial base
What are the parts of the temporal bone? (5)
Squamous portion (suture) Zygomatic Process Mastoid Styloid Process Petrous Portion
What organs and nerves are associated with the petrous portion of TEMPORAL BONE? (4)
Otovestibular organ
Eustachian tube (Internal Rotation causes compression and high tinnitus)
Encloses internal corotid
Forms jugular foramen for CN 9 and 11
What bones does the temporal bone contact? (5)
Zygomatic Sphenoid Parietal Occipital Mandible (TMJ)
Where is the axis for the temporal bone?
What does a newborn skull lack within the temporal bone?
Just inferior to the petrous ridge
Mastoid Process
Which way does the squamous portion and the mastoid process of the temporal bones move during SBS flexion
Squamous portions move laterally
Zygomatic processes and mastoid move medially
