Q

Join together at the midline to form the posterior third of the hard palate (the floor of the nasal cavity and the roof of the mouth

A

Palatine

18
Q

increase the surface area in the nasal cavity.
The increased surface area of the overlying epithelium facilitates moistening and
warming of the air inhaled through the nose.

A

Nasal Conchae

19
Q

projections from the ethmoid bone.

A

Middle & Superior conchae

20
Q

consists of joined processes of the temporal and zygomatic bones
forms a bridge across the side of the face and provides a major attachment site for a muscle moving the mandible.

A

Zygomatic Arch

21
Q

On the medial margin of an eye orbit just above the opening of the nasolacrimal canal

A

Lacrimal

22
Q

forms the bridge of the nose

Forming the superior margin of the nasal opening

A

Nasal

23
Q

Pair of thin, curved bones

Project medially from the lateral walls of the nasal cavity , curving toward the nasal floor

A

Inferior nasal conchae / turbinate bones

24
Q

lower jaw bone
oddly shaped bone forming the lower part of the face
contains the inferior set of teeth

A

Mandible

25
Q

thin flat bone forming the inferior and posterior part of the nasal septum, that divides the nasal cavity into right and left halves

A

Vomer

26
Q

decrease the weight of the skull and act as resonating chambers during voice production.
sinuses are named for the bones where they are located and include the frontal, maxillary, ethmoidal, and sphenoidal sinuses.

A

Paranasal Sinuses

27
Q

The depression where the mandible articulates with the temporal bone
anterior to the mastoid process

A

Mandibular Fossa

28
Q

cone-shaped fossae

protection of the eyes and attachment points for the muscles that move the eyes

A

Orbits

29
Q

they provide openings through which nerves and blood vessels communicate with the orbit or pass through the face

A

Inferior and Superior Orbital Fissures

30
Q

passes from the orbit into the nasal cavity

it contains a duct that carries tears from the eyes to the nasal cavity

A

Nasolacrimal Canal

31
Q

divides the nasal cavity into right and left halves

A

nasal septum

32
Q

an unpaired, U-shaped bone.
not part of the skull and has no direct bony attachment to the skull.
muscles and ligaments attach it to the skull.
provides an attachment for some tongue muscles, and it is an attachment point for important neck muscles that elevate the larynx (voicebox) during speech or swallowing

A

Hyoid bone

33
Q

projects from the inferior surface of the temporal bone.

serves as an anchorage for muscles associated with the tongue and pharynx.

A

Styloid Process

34
Q

The triangular anterior process of the mandibular ramus, giving attachment to the temporal muscle.

A

Coronoid Process

35
Q

an opening for the mandibular nerve to the lower jaw

A

Foramen Ovale

36
Q

an opening for the middle meningeal artery, which brings blood to the dura mater.

A

Foramen Spinosum

37
Q

opening in the skull, through which the spinal cord joins the brain

A

Foramen Magnum

38
Q

contains the lower cranial nerves and major vascular structures

A

Jugular Foramen

39
Q

opening through which the optic nerve runs back into the brain and the large ophthalmic artery enters the orbit

A

Optic Foramen

40
Q

smooth points of articulation between the skull and vertebral column

A

Occipital Condyles

41
Q

forms the roof of the mouth

floor of nasal cavity

A

Hard Palate

42
Q

extend posteriorly from the hard, or bony, palate

A

Soft Palate
