chapter 7 & 8 Flashcards
Parietal bones
form the greater portion of the sides and roof of the craial cavity
Temporal
Styloid Process
External Acoustic Meatus
Mandibular fossa
Mastoid Process
Manidbular Fossa
articulates with the manibile
Styloid Proccess (stake or pole)
projects inferiorly from the inferior surface of the temporal bone
Occipital bone
back of head
forms posterior part and most of the base of the cranium
foramen magnum
large hole
is in the inferior part of the occipital bone
occipital condyle
on either side of the foramen magnum
Sphenoid bone
lies at the middle part of the base of the skull
lies posterior and slightly superior ro the nasal cavity
articulates with all the other cranial bones
Body of the sphenoid bone
hollowed cubelike medial portion between the ethmoid and occipital bones
Sella turcica (sphenoid bone)
saddle shaped structure on the superior surface of the body of the sphenoid
Greater wings (sphenoid)
project laterally from the body
form part of the lateral wall of the skull anterior to the temporal bone
lesser wings (sphenoid)
smaller than the greater
form a ridge of bone anterior and superior to the greater wings
form part of the floor of the cranium and posterior part of the eye
Ethmoid
located in the anterior part of the cranial floor between two orbits
anterior to the sphenoid bone and posterior to the nasal bones
horizontal Cribriform plate (ethmoid)
lies in the anterior floor of the cranium and forms the roof of the nasal cavity
Crista Galli (ethmoid)
is a point
seperates the two hemispheres(sides) of the brain
midline Perpendicular plate (ethmoid)
midline forms the superior portion of the nasal septum
Palentine
L shaped
form the posterior portion of the hard plate
form the posterior portion of the floor and walls of the nasal cavity
Lacrimal
posterior and lateral to the nasal bones and form a part of the medial wall of each orbit
resemble a fingernail
Nasal
bones that form the resting place for the bridge of your glasses
Inferior nasal concha
scroll like bones form a part of the inferior lateral wall of the nasal cavity and project into the nasal cavity
Vomer
triangular bone on the floor of the nasal cavity that articulates superiorly with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone and inferior surface of the body of the sphenoid bone
forms inferior portion of nasal septum
articulates with maxillae and palentine bones
mandible
lower jawbone
Maxilla
form the upper jaw bone
articulate with everybone on the face except the mandible
Maxillary sinus
mucosa of the nasal cavity
zygomatic
cheeckbones
part of the lateral wall and floor of each orbit
articulate with the frontal, maxilla, sphenoid, and temporal bones
Hyoid
does not articulate with any other bone
located in the anterior neck between the mandible and larynx
vertebra body
vertebral bodies line up in a row creat the column like axis of the skeleton
vertebra pedicules
form the base of the vertebral arch
project posteriorly from the body to unite with the laminae
Laminae
flat parts that join to form the posterior portion of the vertebral arch
vertebral foramen
lies between the vertebral arch and body
Intervertebral foramen
opening between adjoining vertebrae on both sides of the column
transverse process
extend posterolaterally one on each side from the vertebral arch
Lumbar
found in the lower back
inferior end of the backbone
Sacrum
triangular bone formed by the union of 5 sarcral vertebrae
Anterior sacral foramina
at the end of the four transverse lines are 4 anterior sacral foramina
Medial sacral crest
the convex posterior surface of the sacrum
Coccyx
the terminal end of the vertical column
Sternum
breastbone
located in the center of the anterior thoracic wall
Manubrium
superior part of the sternum
body (sternum)
the middle and largest part
Xiphoid process
the inferior and smallest part of the sternum
Suprasternal notch
the manubrium has a depression on the superior surface called the suprasternal notch
Clavicular notch
lateral to the suprasternal notch
Ribs
numbered 1-12 from superior to inferior
gives structural support to the sides of the thoracic cavity
head (rib)
projection at the posterior end of the rib
neck (rib)
lateral to the head
tubercle (rib)
knoblike structure on the posterior surface where the neck joins the body
Body (rib)
main part of the rib
Costal Groove (rib)
inner inferior surface of the rib
protects the intercostal blood vessels and nerve
