Anatomy Summary Flashcards
What are bones of the vault of the skull
Frontal bone (joined together by the metopic suture)
Parietal bones
Occipital bone
How do bones of the vault of the skull form
via intramembranous ossification
What are bones of the norma lateralis
Frontal Occipital Temporal Parietal Sphenoid Zygomatic Mandible Maxilla nasal
What is pterion
lace where the sphenoid, parietal, frontal and temporal bone meet. It is prone to breakage due to its thickness
What are bones of norma frontalis
Frontal bone Maxilla (2) Nasal bones (2) Zygomatic bones (2) Mandible
What are the suprahyoid muscles
Digastric (anterior and posterior belly)
Mylohyoid
Geniohyoid
Stylohyoid
What is the function of suprahyoid muscles
Elevate the hyoid or depress mandible
What are the infra hyoid muscles
Omohyoid
Thyrohyoid
Sternohyoid
What are the functions of infrahyoid muscles
Depress hyoid bone
Where does the sternocleidomastoid insert and originate
Arises from clavicle and inserts at mastoid process
What is the function of the sternocleidomastoid
When one muscle acts, head is tipped towards shoulder on same side or rotated towards opposite side
When they act together it flexes the neck
What are the muscles of facial expression
Frontalis Orbicularis oris Procerus Orbicularis oculi Levator labii superiorus Depressor labii inferiorus Levator anguli oris Depressor anguli oris Zygomaticus major Zygomaticus minor Risorius Levator labii superiorus alqeque nasi Platysma Buccinator
What is the function of the buccinator
Maintains bolus between teeth
Involved in sucking and expelling air forcibly e.g instruments
Attaches to pterygomandibular raphe
Upper fibres from maxilla come from vestibule of the mouth
Fibres from mandible come from oblique line
What is the origin of the masseter
zygomatic arch
Where is the insertion of the masseter
lateral surface of the ramus/angle of the mandible
What is the function of the masseter
Elevates the mandible (when two contract together) but can also help in protraction
What is the masseter innervated by
masseteric nerve of the mandibular nerve
Where does the temporalis originate
from temporal fossa
Where does the temporalis isnert
onto coronoid process
What is the action of temporalis
If two temporalis contract together you will get elevation (v powerful) but the posterior fibres can contract independently and help with retraction
Supplied by the deep temporal nerves
What is the insertion and origin of the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid
Origin - lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone
Insertion - pterygoid fovea on mandibular condyle
What is the origin and insertion of the superior head of the lateral pterygoid
Origin - infratemporal surface of the greater wing of the sphenoid in the roof of the fossa
Insertion - capsule of articular disc of the TMJ
What is the action of the lateral pterygoid
Can position disc in closing (superior)
Protrudes and depresses mandible and causes lateral movement (inferior)
What is the origin and insertion of the superficial head of the medial pterygoid
Origin - maxillary tuberosity and pyramidal process of palatine bone
Insertion - angle of mandible on medial aspect
