Anatomy Flashcards
what is the suture between frontal and parietal bone?
The coronal suture
what is the suture between occipital and parietal bone?
Lambdoid suture
what is the suture between the parietal bones?
sagittal suture
when does the anterior fontanelle closes?
18 months after birth
boundaries of posterior fontanelle?
between occipital and parietal bones
where is the greater palatine foramen
between the 7th and the 8th
from which view foramen rotundum can be seen?
inside the skull
which is wider in diameter of condyle
the mediolateral is nearly twice the anteroposterior diameter
what is the importance of knowing the diameter of the condyle for surgery
open in auricular or antero-auricular approach
The function of sternocleidomastoid muscle
-flex the neck both laterally and anteriorly, as well as rotate the head contralaterally to the side of contraction.
-it divides the neck and aid in examination
Origin and insertion of sternocleidomastoid
Origin- superior part of clavicle and superior lateral surface of the sternum
insertion- posterior and inferior to the external auditory meatus (aka mastoid process)
The function of trapezius muscle
lift the clavicle and scapula
Origin and insertion of trapezius
Origin-external surface of the occipital bone
Insertion- lateral third of clavicle
Innervation of muscles of facial expression
facial nerve
Origin and insertion of orbicularis oculi
Origin - frontal bone (medial part, palpebral ligament, and lacrimal bone)
Insertion - lateral palpebral raphe
function of orbicularis oculi
clsoe the eyelids
Origin and insertion of orbicularis oris
Origin: muscle fibers around the mouth
insertion: the skin at the angle of the mouth.
function of orbicularis oris
closes and puckers the lipsm also aids against checking and speacking
Origin and insertion of buccinator
Origin: posterior portion of the alveolar process of maxilla and mandible
Insertion: the angle of the mouth
function of orbicularis buccinator
compress the checks against the teeth and retracts the angle of the mouth
lower 6
if the infection is above to the attachment of the buccinator muscle
and its the opposite for upper 6
infection will move to the vestibule
lower 6
if the infection is below to the attachment of the buccinator muscle
and its the opposite for upper 6
buccal space infection
Origin and insertion of mentalis
origin: incisive fossa of the mandible
insertion: skin of the chin
function of mentalis
raises and wrinkles the skin of the chin and pushes up the lower lip
attachment of buccinator muscle with the superior constrictor muscle make a very important landmark
pterygomandibular raphe
Origin and insertion of zygomatic major
origin- zygomatic bone
insertion-into the fibers of orbicularis oris
function of zygomatic major
the laughing muscle, draws the angles of the mouth upward and backward as in laughing
