Anatomy of Facial and Sinuses Flashcards
How many facial bones are there?
14
Name the facial bones:
R and L nasal
R and L lacrimal
R and L maxillary
R and L zygomatic
R and L palatine
R and L inferior nasal conchae
Vomer
Mandible
Two small, thin bones
Vary in size and shape in individuals
Form superior bony wall of nasal cavity
Commonly called “bridge of nose”
Nasal Bones
The two smallest bones in the skull
Lacrimal bones
what does the nasal bones articulate with:
With each other in midsagittal plane
Superior = frontal bone
Posterosuperior = perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone
On each lateral side = maxillae
Located in anterior part of medial wall of orbits between labyrinth of ethmoid and maxilla
lacrimal bones
Each bone contains a lacrimal foramen through which the tear duct passes
lacrimal bones
articulations with the lacrimal
Articulations :
Frontal
Ethmoid
Maxilla
Inferior nasal concha
each articulates with all other facial bones except for mandible
-also articulates with frontal and ethmoid cranial bones
maxillary
which bone does the maxillary bone not articulate with
mandible
which cranial bones does the maxillary articulate with
frontal and ethmoid
what forms part of lateral walls and most of floor of nasal cavity
Largest immovable bones of face
Form part of floor of orbit
Maxillary bones
Form three fourths of roof of mouth
maxillary
Have zygomatic process that articulate with zygoma to form part of cheek
maxillary
what part of the maxillary bone is this?:
Body contains large, pyramidal cavity =
maxillary sinus
what part of the maxillary bone is this?: located under each orbit for passage of infraorbital nerve and artery
Infraorbital foramen
what part of the maxillary bone is this?: inferior borders of spongy bone that support roots of teeth
Alveolar process =
what part of the maxillary bone is this? : forward, pointed process at their midline junction
Anterior nasal spine
makes up the roof of the mouth
Maxillary bones
inferior borders of spongy bone that support roots of teeth
Alveolar
This bone consists of the acanthion, anterior nasal spine, alveolar process, and the infraorbital foramen
maxillary
Form prominence of cheeks
Zygomatic Bones
Form part of side wall and floor of orbits
Zygomatic Bones
Temporal process extends posteriorly to join zygomatic process of temporal bone
Zygomatic Bones
formed by union of temporal process of zygoma and zygomatic process of temporal bone
Zygomatic arch
what does the zygomatic bones articulate with
Superior = frontal bone
Lateral = zygomatic process of temporal bone
Anterior = maxilla
Posterior = sphenoid
where is the nasal bone located and where is the anterior nasal spine located
Nasal spine- frontal bone
Anterior nasal spine- facial bone
Two L-shaped bones composed of vertical and horizontal plates
Palatine Bones
