ANAPHY 3-B Flashcards
Two divisions OF skULL
A.Cranial bones (8)
B.Facial bones (14)
The eight bones of the cranium are divided into the
calvarium (skullcap) and the floor
Calvarium CONSISTS OF
FRONTAL
L PARIETAL
R PARIETAL
OCCIPITAL
two main parts of frontal bone
squamous or vertical portion
orbital or horizontal portion
forms the foreheaf
squamous
floor consists of
R Temporal
L Tempora
Sphenoid
Ethmoid
forms the superior part of the orbit
orbital
smooth, raised prominence between the eyebrows just above the bridge of the nose.
Glabella
parts of squamous portion
Glabella
supraorbital groove, margin, and notch
frontal tuberosity
slight depression above each eyebrow
Supraorbital groove
becomes an important landmark because it corresponds to the floor of the anterior fossa of the cranial vault, which is also at the level of the orbital plate or at the highest level of the facial bone mass.
Supraorbital groove
superior rim of each orbit.
Supraorbital margin
a small hole or opening within the SOM
Supraorbital notch (foramen)
larger rounded prominence located on each side of the squamous portion of the frontal bone above the SOG.
Frontal tuberosity (eminence)
parts of orbital portion
orbital plate
ethmoidal notch
forms the superior part of each orbit
Orbital plate
Below the orbital plates lie
facial bones,
above the orbital plates is the
anterior part of the floor of the brain case.
anterior part of the floor of the brain case.
Ethmoidal notch
The frontal bone articulates with four cranial bones:
PES
Right parietal bone * Sphenoid
* Left parietal bone * Ethmoid
frontal bone articulates with eight facial bones
MNLZ
Two maxillary bones * Two zygomatic bones
* Two nasal bones * Two lacrimal bones
The lateral walls of the cranium and part of the roof are formed by the
Parietal Bones
The widest portion of the entire skull is located between the
parietal tubercles (eminences)
are roughly square and have a concave internal surface.
