Anatomy 1 Exam Skull Flashcards
Functions of the Skeleton System1. Protection: rib cage, cranium & vertebrae2. Storage: 99% of calcium is stored in bones3. Movement: tendons that attach to muscle4. Support: vertebrae/back bone support other bones ie:5. Hemopoeisis: formation of all cells naturally present in blood
Classification of BonesAccording to shape: Geometric/shoulder bone small/toes Round/patella-knee cap Irregular/lumbar Long/femurAccording to individual names:Normal adult has 206 bones excludes: Sutural (wormian) bones: small & irregular shape bones that sometimes form along the lines of fusion of cranial bonesSesamoid bones: any bone embedded in the tendon of a muscle
80 bones; form central axes of body where other bones & soft tissue attach itself
Axial Skeleton:a. Skull: b. Hyoid: c. Vertebrae: d. Sternum: e. Ribs:
Skull: 28 bonesi. Cranium: 8 distinct bones that fuse together by age 2 to house & protect brainii. Face: 14 bonesiii. Auditory ossicles: 6 ear bones
Divisions of Skeleton1. Axial Skeleton: 80 bones2. Appendicular Skeleton: 126 bones
horseshoe shape single bone located between voicebox & manidible
Hyoid:
(spine) 26 individual bones in adult
Vertebrae:
single bone; breast bone
Sternum:
12 pair
Ribs:
126 bones make up appendages
Appendicular Skeleton: a. Upper extremities (appendages) & pectoral girdle (shoulder joint): 64 bonesb. Lower extremities (appendages) & pelvic girdle (hip joint): 62 bones
frontal, occipital, 2 parietal, 2 temporal, ethmoid, & sphenoid bones. Form bony encasement (vault) around the brain.
Cranium:
portion of the cranium normally removed when performing a cranial autopsy.
CALVARIA-calvarium
toward front; single cranial bone that form 4-head region
Frontal bone: a. Supraorbital margin: b. Superciliary arch: c. Glabella: d. Frontal eminences: e. Frontal air sinuses:
part of frontal bone that form superior boundary of eye socket
Supraorbital margin:
prominent ridge off frontal bone located directly posterior to eyebrows
Superciliary arch:
slight elevation located between medial ends of the superciliary arches
Glabella:
2 rounded protuberances which gives roundness & fullness to 4-head
Frontal eminences:
air spaces located in frontal bone
Frontal air sinuses:
2 pair cranial bone that form majority of top back roof & side
Parietal bones:
single bone that form base of cranial vault
Occipital bone:a. Foramen magnum:b. Occipital condyles: c. External occipital protuberance (inion):
large opening in occipital bone thru which spinal cord passes
Foramen magnum:
2 prominences located on either side of foramen magnum; only one has direct articulate/touch with spinal column 1st cervical vertebrae
Occipital condyles:
single bony prominence located on external bone occipital; serve as point of muscle attachment
External occipital protuberance (inion):
- Temporal bones: pair bones that form side of cranial vault; densitiest & thickest bone
Temporal bones: a. Squamous portion:b. Petrous portion: i. Auditory ossicles (ear bones) – 1. Malleus (hammer) 2. Incus (anvil) 3. Stapes (stirrup) ii. Carotid canal: c. Mastoid portion (air cells): d. Mandibular fossa (shallow depression):e. External auditory meatus: f. Zygomatic process:
(squama) thin shell shape upper portion of temporal bones
Squamous portion:
part of temporal bone that projects into cranial cavity
Petrous portion:
