Anatomy Flashcards
What important structure sits on the body of the sphenoid?
pituitary
What is directly behind the superior orbital fissure?
cavernous sinus
V2 passes through…
Infraorbital foramen
Mental foramen vs mandibular foramen
The mental foramen is on the anterior mandible and allows for the inferior alveolar vessels and nerve to exit renamed “mental ____” The mandibular foramen is on the inside of the angle of the rammus and is where the inferior alveolar nerve and vessels enter the mandible
The lingual and inferior alveolar are branches of which nerve and transmit what?
Branches of V3, transmit sensory
What separates the anterior and middle cranial fossa? Middle and posterior?
Anterior->lesser wing of sphenoid->Middle->petrous ridge->posterior
Crainial nerve exits?
1-cribiform plate 2- optic canal 3-SOF 4- SOF V1-SOF V2-Ro2ndum V3- Ov3ale 6- SOF 7-Internal acoustic meatus 8-Internal acoustic meatus 9- Jug 10-Jug 11-Jug/ foramen magnum 12- Hypoglosal
Where does the internal carotid enter the skull and what does it pass through?
Enters through carotid canal, enters middle CF through foramen lacerum
What does the chorda tympani pass through and what does it join after?
Chorda tympani passes through petrotympanic fissure and joins lingual n.
The lingual nerve is lateral to what?
Medial pterygoid
The anterior cranial fossa contains… The posterior CF contains… The middle CF contains…
Anterior-Frontal Posterior- Cerebellum Middle- everything
Frontal lobe fnx
PPP Personality Planning Production of speech
Parietal lobe fnx
Sensory Taste temp touch
Temporal lobe
Temp House Worker Hippocampus- memory Wernickes-wordy speech Hearing and smell
Hypothalamus
regulates gas-hunger radiator- temperature sky light- circadian rhythm
Cerebellum
movement coordination posture

in the brainstem Midbrain pons medulla
Rule of 4- cranial nerve origins
3,4 Midbrain 5,6,7,8 Pons 9,10,11,12 medulla
Where do many nerve pathways cross in the brain
medulla
