Bones of the Cranium & Orbit Flashcards

1
Q

Cranium

What are the parietal (2) bones?

A

They form roof and sides of cranium

They articulate with each other at the midline

They articulate with the frontal bone anteriorly and the occipital bone posteriorly

Cranium

What are the temporal bones?

A

Forms the side of the cranium (squamous portion)

Houses middle/inner ear structures

Articulates with the parietal, sphenoid bones, occipital and zygomatic bone

Q

Cranium

What is the sphenoid bone?

A

Forms the base of the cranium and lateral walls of the orbital cavity

It is composed of the body, lesser wings and greater wings

Q

What structures are involved in the sphenoid bone?

A

Sphenoid body - Hypophyseal fossa (Pituitary gland)

Gap between the lesser wing and sphenoid body - optic canal (optic nerve exits orbit)
