axial bones ppt Flashcards
total bones of axial
80
Axial skeleton are composed of the following bones
• Skull
• Auditory Ossicles
• Hyoid Bone
• Vertebrae
• Thoracic Cage
The bone markings are classified into three (3)
namely:
✓ ARTICULATING
✓ NON - ARTICULATING
✓ DEPRESSIONS AND OPENINGS
enlarged end
head
smooth rounded articular surface
condyle
smooth flattened surface
facet
knob/enlargement
Tuberosity
prominent projection
process
prominent ridge
crest
small rounded projection
tubercle
elongated ridge
line
opening/hole
foramen
depression
fossa
tunnel-like opening
meatus
cleft
fissure
cavity
sinus
The skull has ____ bones
22
The skull has 22 bones
and is divided into two
parts:
a) Calvarium/Cranium
b) Cranial base/ Facial
bones
Forms forehead, superior part of orbits, and most of the anterior cranial fossa;
contains sinuses
frontal bone
✓ Squamous
✓ Supraorbital Margins
✓ Supraorbital Foramen
✓ Glabella
frontal bone
forehead, the most anterior part of the frontal
area
squamous
thickened part which lie under the eyebrows. This is where the forehead ends.
Supraorbital margin
passageway of supraorbital artery and nerves
supraorbital foramen
Form most of the superior and lateral aspects of the skull
parietal bones
interlocking
joints of the skull.
sutures
✓ Coronal Suture
✓ Lambdoid Suture
✓ Squamous Suture
✓ Sagittal Suture
parietal bones
joint between the parietal and frontal bone.
coronal suture
joint between the parietal and occipital bone.
lamboid suture
joint between the parietal and
temporal bone
squamous suture
joint between two parietal bones.
sagittal suture
Form inferolateral aspects of the skull and contribute
to the middle cranial fossa
temporal bones
Best viewed on lateral position
TEMPORAL BONES
temporal bones has 3 major parts
- Squamous
- Tympanic
- Petrous
✓ Zygomatic Process
✓ Zygomatic Arch
✓ Mandibular fossa + Condylar Process
(mandible) = Temporomandibular Joint
TEMPORAL BONE- SQUAMOUS
when the zygomatic process of the temporal bone meets the zygomatic bone, it forms an arch.
Zygomatic Arch
condylar process of the
mandible articulates with the mandibular fossa
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
✓ EAM - External
Acoustic Meatus
TEMPORAL BONE- TYMPANIC
through which the sound enters
the ear, thus enables sound waves to reach the eardrum.
External Auditory Meatus
through which the sound enters
the ear, thus enables sound waves to reach the eardrum.
External Auditory Meatus
supports the temporal brain
Middle cranial fossa
passageway of the jugular vein
jugular foramen
Transmits the internal carotid artery into the cranial
cavity
Carotid canal
between petrous temporal and sphenoid. Most
medial portion
foramen lacerum
transmits cranial nerves
internal acoustic meatus
which acts as an anchoring site for some neck muscles. Can be felt as a lump just posterior to the ear. This
has many air cavities called “mastoid air cells”
mastoid process
needle like process which is not just for neck attachment but also for tongue muscles.
styloid process
allows passage of the maxillary division of cranial nerve V.
Foramen Rotundum
allows passage of the mandibular division of cranial
nerve V
Foramen Ovale
