ch. 6 Flashcards
most complex bony structure
skull
what are the two divisions of the skull
cranial bones and facial bones
what type of bones are skull bones
flat
sutures on the skull
coronal, sagittal, squamous, and lambdoid
two parts of cranium
cranial vault and cranial floor
the cranial vault protects
superior and lateral brain
cranial floor protects
bottom of the brain
anterior cranial support
frontal lobe of cerebrum
middle cranial fossa craddles
temporal lobes of cerebrum
posterior support
cerebellum
bones of the cranium
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid
frontal bone is the
forehead and orbits
parietal bone
cranial vault, attach jaw temporalis
temporal
comprise jaw and ear joints
occipital
articulates with our vertebra
sphenoid key stone
articulates cranium with bones
sella turcica is important
for endocrine system
pituitary glands sits in
sella turcica
ethmoid forms
nose
ethmoid’s perp plate
nasal septum
ethmoid cribiform plate supports
olfactory bulbs
maxilla contains
upper jaw and orbit
maxilla’s hard palate seperates
nasal and oral cavity
palatine bone makes up
posterior hard palate
zygomatic bone makes up
cheek bone
lacrimal bones contain
tears
inferior nasal conchae create
airflow and trap mucus in nose
is only movable bone face
mandible
your skull is what size at birth
1/4 of body length (2x of human)
fontanelles allow
skull distoration during birth
fontanelles are bits of
fibrous region
sutures start developing at what age
5
fontanelles end
2-10 months after birth
craniosysosis
babies with premature fusion of cranium bones
hyoid bone is not apart of the
skull
hyoid helps
move tongue around, support larynx
