Anatomy wk 1 Flashcards
Most common type of joint between bones of the skull
Suture (fibrous)
Skull is divided in 3 components - name them
Neurocranium
Facial skull (viscera-cranium)
Mandible
Name the 3 layers of the skull bone
Outer pericranium layer (compact bone)
Dipole (spongy bone)
Inner pericranium layer
What layer of the skull bone contains red bone marrow
Diploe
Name the suture that runs in the midline of the skull and which bone it lies between
Saggital suture
Parietal
Name the suture that runs in coronal plane + which bones it lies between
Coronal suture
Frontal + parietal
Name the suture at the back of the skull + which bones it lies between
Lambdoid suture
Parietal + occipital
What type of bone makes up the facial skeleton
Irregular
Name the facial bones (15, some are pairs)
Frontal Nasal x2 Maxilla x2 Lacrimal x2 Zygomatic x2 Mandible Vomer Palatine x2 Inferior nasal x2
Name the bony prominence on the external surface of the occipital bone
External occipital protuberance (not same as occipital condyles, they’re on the inferior surface of skull)
Name the bony prominences of the temporal bone
Mastoid process
Name the bony prominent feature formed by the squamous temporal and zygomatic bone
Zygomatic arch
Name the bony prominence coming off the temporal bone
Styloid process
Name the bony prominences of the occipital bones on the inferior surface of skull
Occipital condyles
What 2 bones make up the middle cranial fossa
Temporal + sphenoid
Name the 5 main parts of the sphenoid bone
Greater wing Lesser wing Body Pituitary fossa Medial/lateral pterygoid plates
What 2 bones make up the anterior cranial fossa
Frontal (mostly)
Ethmoid
Sphenoid
What 2 bones makes up the posterior cranial fossa
Occipital
Temporal
What is the anterior + lateral boundary of the posterior cranial fossa
Petrous ridge of temporal bone
What 2 bones make up the middle cranial fossa
Sphenoid
Temporal
Function of air sinuses relating to skull
Decrease weight of skull
Name the 2 parts of the temporal bone
Squamous and petrous
Where the scalp extend to anteriorly and posteriorly and laterally
Anterior - eyebrows
Posterior - superior nuchal lines
Laterally - superior temporal line
What joint is found between the temporal and zygomatic bone where they unite to form the zygomatic arch0
Suture (fibrous) joint
Name the 5 layers of the scalp
Skin Connective tissue (Dense) Aponeurosis of the occipitalis and frontalis (epicranial aponeurosis) Loose connective tissue Pericranium (periosteum of skull)
What 2 muscles does the epicranial aponeurosis connect
Frontalis (Anterior belly) and occipitalis (posterior belly) of occipitofrontalis muscle
Name the 4 muscles of facial expression
Occipitofrontalis
Orbicularis oris
Orbicularis occuli
Buccinator
What does contraction of the anterior belly of the occipitofrontalis do
Raise eyebrows and wrinkle forehead
Cutaneous innervation of the anterior and posterior scalp
Anterior scalp (anterior to auricle) - CN V1/V2/V3
Posterior scalp (posterior to auricle) - cutaneous branches of C2 & C3
Which spinal level doesn’t have a dermatome
C1
What is formed from the ventral rami of C5-T1
Brachial plexus
Which layer of scalp are blood vessels present
2nd - dense connective tissue layer
Wound wounds to the scalp bleed profusely or sparingly
Profusely because connective tissue in 2nd layer prevents vasoconstriction
Arterial supply of the scalp (5) + indicate whether it’s a branch of ECA or ICA
Supratrochlear artery - ICA Supraorbital artery - ICA Superficial temporal artery - ECA Posterior auricular artery - ECA Occipital artery - ECA
2 terminal branches of ECA
Superficial temporal
Maxillary
Venous drainage of the scalp (5) (follows arterial supply) + what 2 veins in the neck do they ultimately drain into
Supra-orbital vein Supratrochlear vein Superficial temporal vein Posterior auricular vein Occipital vein
IJV
EJV
Veins of the scalp anastomose with diploic veins via what veins
+ what does this then allow
via emissary veins
Allows connection between scalp and dural venous sinuses, so can spread infection intracranially from outside cranium
Are there lymph nodes in the scalp
No, they drain into lymph nodes in head and neck
What do muscles of facial expression lie within
Superficial fascia of the face
How do the muscles of facial expression differ from other skeletal muscles in terms of superficial/deep and in terms of attachment
Muscles of facial expression more superficial and attach directly onto skin
Function of orbicularis oculi
Close eyes
Functions of orbicularis oris
Open mouth
Smile
Function of buccinator
Puff cheeks
What is the platysma
Large sheet of muscle overlying SCM arising from upper chest/shoulder over collar bone to the angle of the mandible
Innervation of muscles of facial expression
CN VII
5 branches of facial nerve
Temporal Zygomatic Buccal Mandibular Cervical
Which foramen does CN VII emerge the cranial cavity from to the side of the face
Stylomastoid foramen
What gland does the facial nerve pass through but not actually innervate + what nerve does innervate this gland
Parotid
CN IX
If facial nerve injured, what are the deficient movements (4)
Can’t close eyes
Can’t smile or open mouth
Can’t raise eyebrows or wrinkle forehead
Can’t chew
Name the 3 salivary glands
Parotid
Submandibular
Sublingual
What does the parotid gland extend superiorly to
Zygomatic arch
What does the parotid gland extend inferiorly to
Angle of the mandible
