bones Flashcards
frontal bone
-unpaired articulates: -zygomatic -nasal bone -parietal bone
sutures
- coronal
- saggital
- squamous
- lamboidal
parietal bone
- paired
- connect at midline saggital
- temporal - squamous
- frontal - coronal
- occipital - lamboidal
temporal
- paired
- 4 parts
temporal
sqaumous
- superior semi-circular
- thinnest
- roof of EAM
- zygomatic process
- base of zygomatic process forms mandibular fossa
temporal
tympanic
- anterior and inferior walls of ear canal
- thicker than squamous
- styloid process beneath ear canal
temporal
petrous
- thicker and deep to tympanic
- deep cavity housing cochlea and semicircular canals
temporal
mastoid
- posterior of temporal
- rise to mastoid process
- less dense than temporal or petrous
- muscle attachments
- contains air cells
temporal bone foramen
- mandibular fossa
- external auditory meatus
- internal auditory meatus
- stylomastoid
- cartoid canal
mandibular fossa
-depression for TMJ
external auditory meatus
-external ear canal
internal auditory meatus
-cranial nerves VII and VIII
stylomastoid
- CN VII exits skull
- stylomastoid artery
carotid canal
-entry for internal carotid artery into skull
occipital bone
- unpaired
- foramen magnum
- paired condyles - C1
- articulates:
- sphenoid bone at anterior of foramen magnum
foramen magnum
-junction of spinal cord and brainstem
ethmoid bone
- single bone
- internal medial portion of skull
- cranial and facial bone
- downward - perpendicular plate
- lateral = middle & superior nasal concha
- superior to concha is cribform plate
- superior and medial - crista galli
- lateral orbital plates articulate:
- frontal
- maxilla
- lacrimal
cribform plate
- form boundary between nasal and cranial cavity
- tiny holes for C1 - olfactory nerve
skull
22 bones
-synarthroidal sutures
cranial skeleton
- neurocranium
- protective vault for brain
neurocranium bones
- frontal
- parietal - 2
- temporal - 2
- occipital
- ethmoid
- sphenoid
- 8
facial skeleton
splanchnocranium
-bones of face and lower portion of orbit
splanchnocranium bones
- vomer
- inferior concha - 2
- nasal - 2
- maxilla - 2
- mandible
- palatine - 2
- zygomatic - 2
- lacrimal - 2
- 14
additional bones
- 3 ME bones
- in temporal bone
- hyoid - adjacent to skull but not skull bone
foramen of orbit
- superior orbital fissure
- inferior orbital fissure
superior orbital fissure
- oculomotor nerve
- trochlear nerve
- opthalmic nerve
- opthalmic vein
inferior orbital fissure
- maxillary nerve - V2
- zygomatic branch VII
