and left sides by a vertical partition called the

A

openings for blood vessels,
nerves, or ligaments; singular is foramen

51

Suture

A

an immovable joint (in
most cases in an adult skull) that holds most skull bones together.

52
Q

Four Prominent Sutures:

A

Coronal Suture, Sagital Suture, Lambdoid Suture, Squamous Sutures

53
Q

Paranasal Sinuses

A

cavities within certain cranial and facial bones near the nasal cavity.

54
Q

Fontanels

A

are areas where unossified
mesenchyme develops into the dense connective tissues of the skull.

55
Q

Hyoid Bone

A

supports the tongue, providing attachment sites for some tongue muscles
and for muscles of the neck and pharynx.

56
Q

Vertebral Collumn

A

consists of bone and connective tissue; the spinal cord that it surrounds and protects consists of nervous and connective tissues

57
Q

the adult vertebral column typically contains:

A

26 vertebrae

58
Q

Vertebrae in an adult

A
  • 7 cervical vertebrae in the neck region.
  • 12 thoracic vertebrae posterior to the thoracic cavity.
  • 5 lumbar vertebrae supporting the lower back.
  • 1 sacrum consisting of five fused sacral vertebrae.
  • 1 coccyx usually consisting of four fused coccygeal vertebrae
59
Q

Intervertebral discs

A

Found between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae from the second cervical vertebra to the sacrum. Each disc has an outer fibrous ring consisting of fibrocartilage called annulus fibrosis and an inner substance called nucleus pulposes.

60
Q

Parts of a Typical Vertebrae

A

vertebral body, a vertebral arch, and several
processes

61
Q

Vertebral Body

A

Weight bearing part of a Vertebrae

62
Q

Vertebral Arch

A

The vertebral arch extends posteriorly from the
body of the vertebra; together, the vertebral body and the vertebral
arch surround the spinal cord by forming the vertebral foreman.

63
Q

Processes

A

Seven processes arise from the vertebral arch. At
the point where a lamina and pedicle join, a transverse process extends laterally on each side. A single spinous process (spine) projects posteriorly from the junction of the laminae. These three processes serve as points of attachment for muscles. The remaining four processes form joints with other vertebrae above or
below.

64
Q

The regions of Vertebral Column

A

the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal

65
Q

Cervical Vertebrae

A

smaller than all other vertebrae except those that form the coccyx. vertebral arches, however, are larger.

66
Q

Atlas

A

the first cervical vertebra inferior to the skull.

67
Q

Axis

A

does have a vertebral body. A peglike process called the dens or odontoid process projects superiorly through the anterior portion of the vertebral foramen of the atlas.

68
Q

Thoracic Vertebrae

A

Larger and stronger. have longer and larger transverse processes. They are easily identified by their costal facets (cost- = rib), which are articular surfaces for the ribs.

69
Q

Lumbar Vertebrae

A

the largest and strongest of the unfused bones in the vertebral column (Figure 7.20) because the amount of body weight supported by the vertebrae increases toward the inferior end of the backbone.

70

triangular bone formed by the union of five sacral vertebrae (S1–S5). Begin to fuse between 16 and 18 years, process completed by 30.

71
Q

sacral promontory

A

one of the points used for measurements of the pelvis.

Q

On both lateral surfaces the sacrum has a large ear-shaped
auricular surface that articulates with the ilium of each hip bone to form the:

A

sacroiliac joint

73
Q

Coccyx

A

is triangular in shape. It is formed by the fusion of usually four coccygeal vertebrae. Fuse between ages of 20 and 30.

74
Q

Thorax

A

entire chest region.

75
Q

Thoracic Cage

A

bony enclosure formed by the sternum, ribs and their costal cartilages, and the bodies of the thoracic
vertebrae.

76
Q

Sternum

A

The superior part is
the manubrium; the middle and
largest part is the body; and the inferior, smallest part is the xiphoid process. Fuse by 25. Marked by transverse edges.

77
Q

The junction of the manubrium and body forms the

A

Sternal Angle

78
Q

The manubrium has a depression on its superior surface, the:

A

suprasternal notch

79
Q

clavicular
notches

A

articulate with the medial ends of the clavicles to form
the sternoclavicular joints.

80
Q

Ribs

A

numbered 1–12 from superior to inferior, give structural support to the sides of the thoracic cavity

81
Q

The articulations formed between the true ribs and the sternum are called:

A

sternocostal joints

82
Q

The cartilages of the eighth, ninth, and tenth pairs of ribs attach
to one another and then to the cartilages of the seventh pair of ribs.
These false ribs are called:

A
