A Exam 2 Part 1 Flashcards
Skull
cranium and facial bones
cranial bones
8-encase brain and sensory organs
Frontal bone
- forehead
superciliary arches
supraorbital foramina
frontal sinuses
parietal
2 -cranial bones
superior and inferior temporal lines
temporal
2 -cranial bones
zgyomatic processes
externalacoustic/auditory meatus/canal –auditory ossicles
styloid process
mastoid process
mandibular fossa –temporomandiubular joint
stylomastoid foramen
petrous region -floor of cranium –carotid canal –jugular foramen
internal acoustic/auditory meatus/canal
occipital
1 -cranial bone posterior/base of skull foramen magnum occipital condyles hypoglossal canals external occipital protuberance
sphenoid bone
1 cranial bone -internal, wedgelike, fragile bat shape -body and wings sphenoid sinuses sella turcica (Turk's saddle) wings
Sphenoid bone wing features
optic foramina/canals superior orbital fissures foramina ovale foramina spinosum foramina lacerum formaina rotundum
ethmoid bone
1 -cranial bone interanl, roof of nasal cavity perpendicular plate nasal conchae (superior and middle) crista galli (cock's comb) cribriform plate (many foramina) ethmoid sinsuses
facial bones
14
zygomatic bones
2 -facial bones
temporal process
lacrimal
2 -facial bones
lacrimal sulcus/groove (directs tear flow to nasal cavity)
nasal bone
2 -facial bones
vomer
1 -facial bones
connects to perpendicular plate of ethmoid (nasal septum)
inferior nasal conchae
2 -facial bones, nasal cavity
palatine
2 -facial bones
part of hard palate with palatine processes of maxillae
maxilla
2 -facial bones upper jaw, holds teeth alveolar processes palatine process (part of hard palate (with palatine bones)) infraorbital foramen maxillary sinuses
mandible
1 facial bone only movable bone of skull body, ramus, angle mandibular condyle/condylar process (TMJ) coronoid porcess, mandibular notch alveolar processes foramina: mental, mandibular
hyoid bone
not attached to another bone
soft tissues/muscles attach it to styloid and mastoid processes of temporal bones
also connects to tongue and larynx
sutures
immovable joines between skull bones: sagittal, coronal, lambdoidal, squamous
cavities of skull
hollow spaces
fetal skull
fibrous CT bt bones; gaps bt bones covered by fontanels
allows for flexibility during birth; ossify by age 2
fontanels
soft spots of fetal skull
sexual dimorphism
differences of shape between sexes
pelvis, skull features
