Q

Cranial Bones

A

Encase the brain and together form the calvaria (also known as the “skull cap”), which consists of several of the cranial bones joined at immovable joints called sutures. These bones also form the cranial base, which contains indentations that accommodate the brain, called the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae.

Q

24 Bones of the Vertebral Column

A
  1. Cervical Vertebrae (7) [C1-C7]
  2. Thoracic Vertebrae (12) [T1-T12]
  3. Lumbar Vertebrae (5) [L1-L5]
  4. Sacral Vertebrae (Fused) [S1-S1]
  5. Coccyx (Fused) [C1-C4]
42
Q

Intervertebral Disk

A

Between each vertebral body is a fibrocartilage pad.

43
Q

Transverse Formina

A

All cervical vertebrae have holes in their tranverse processes called transverse foramina. There foramina permit the passage of blodd vessels called the vertebral artery and vein.

44
Q

Atlas (C1)

A

The atlas is the first cervical vertebra that articulates with the occipital bone. It is easily identified because it has a large vertebral foramen, no body, and no spinous process.

45
Q

Axis (C2)

A

The axis is the second cervical vertebra. It is also easily identified by a superior projection called the dens (or the odontoid process). The dens fits up inside the atlas to form the atlanto-axial joint, which allows rotation of the head.

46
Q

The 12 thoracic vertebrae share the following common features:

A
  1. The spinous processes are thin and point inferiorly.
  2. All have two costal facets that articulate with the ribs (there are 12 pairs of ribs)
  3. All have triangular vertebral foramina.
  4. If you look at a thoracic vertebra from the posterior side, it looks like a giraffe.
47
Q

The 5 lumbar vertebrae share the following common features:

A
  1. All have a large, block -like body.
  2. The spinous processes are thick and point posteriorly
  3. If you look at a lumbar vertebra from the posterior side, it looks like a moose.
48

Q

The lateral surfaces of the Sacrum.

Hyoid Bone

A

Is often classified as a skull bone, although it does not articulate with any skull bone or any other bone. It is held in place in the superior neck by muscles and ligaments, and it helps to form part of the framework for the larynx (voice box). It also serves as an attachment site for the muscles of the tongue and aids in swallowing.
