A

Sphenoid bone

23

A

Delicate bone located in the anterior part of the cranial floor medial to the orbits and is spongelike in appearance

found between your eyes - separates the nasal cavity

24
Q

What are the superior and nasal conchae?

A

They are ethmoidal sinuses - located on either side of the nose bridge

Sphenoid 
Temporal (2) 
Ethmoid 
Occipital 
Parietal (2)
27
Q

What are lacrima fossa? where are they located?

A

located within the lacrimal bones - a tunnel that gathers tears and passes them into the nasal cavity

28

29
Q

The skull is an immovable joint that hold most skull bones together. List the 4 prominent sutures

A

Coronal (headband)
Sagittal (midline)
Lambdoid (back of the head)
Sqamous (2) (sides of the head)

30
Q

What are paranasal sinuses?

A

Cavities within certain cranial and facial bones near the nasal cavity that are lined with mucous membranes

31
Q

________ aka ‘soft spots’ are areas were unossified mesenchyme developed into the dense connective tissues of the skull

A

Fontanels

32
Q

The ________ bone consists of lesser and greater horns and and supports the tongue

A

hyoid

33
Q

What is the curvature and distribution of the vertebrae column?

A

Cervical (7) and lumber (5) curves are convex (bulges out towards front)

Thoracic (12) and sacral (5) curves are concave (bulges back)

34
Q

Invertebral discs has an outer ring called the annulus fibrous and an inner portion called the nucleus pulpous.

What happens to this as we age?

A

Hardens and becomes less elastic

35
Q

Describe the following parts of a vertebrae:

Vertebral body
Vertebral arch
Vertebral canal

A

Vertebral body: anterior disc-shaped weight bearing part

Vertebral arch: posterior bone that attaches to body to surround vertebral foramen (spinal cord)

Vertebral canal: the foramen of all vertebrae

36
Q

Transverse, spinous, superior articular, and inferior articular processes all arise from which part of the vertebrae:

a) Vertebral body
b) Vertebral arch
c) Vertebral foramen

A

b) Vertebral arch

37
Q

Where are in the vertebral column is the atlas and axis found? How are these two vertebrae unique?

A

Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) are found in the cervical vertebrae (C1-C7)

The atlas lacks a spinous process and the axis does not have a body and instead is peg-like (called a dens) to pivot allowing the head to rotate

38
Q

Where are in the vertebral column are vertebrocostal joints found?

A

Found in the Thoracic Vertebrae (T1-T12) (they indicate joints with the ribs)

39
Q

Which region of the vertebral column has the largest and strongest bones?

A

Lumbar Vertebrae (L1-L5) as they support a lot of weight

40
Q

Which region of the vertebral column is triangular and does not begin fusing until age 16-18?

A

The sacrum (S1-S5)

41
Q

Define sternum and list its 3 parts

A

Sternum - breastbone located at centre of the anterior thoracic wall. consists of:

  1. Manubrium - middle (above the body) and has suprasternal and clavicular notch for attachment
  2. Body - large middle part that all ribs attach to
  3. Xiphoid process - inferior part that abdominal muscles attach to
42
Q

The manubrium and body form a junction at the _______ angle

A

sternal

43
Q

Differentiate between true ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs

A 
True ribs (1-7): have direct anterior attachment to sternum 
False ribs (8-12): costal cartilage attaches indirectly or not at all 
Floating ribs (11-12) costal cartilage and anterior ends do not attach to sternum at all, only attach posteriorly
44
Q

Describe the following typical parts of ribs 3-9:

Head
Neck
Costal angle
Costal groove

A

Head: projection at posterior end that contains a pair of articular facets

Neck: constricted portion of rib lateral to head with knoblike structure called a tubercle

Costal angle: abrupt change in curvature of the shaft

Costal groove: inner surface of rib that has a groove to protect nerves and blood vessels

45
Q

Describe a herniated disc

A

If discs become injured or weakened, the pressure developed in the nucleus pulposos may be great enough to rupture the surrounding fibrocartilage

If this occurs the nucleus pupous may herniate posteriorly into one the the adjacent vertebral bodies, known as a herniated disc

46
Q

Scoliosisi, kyphosis, and lordosis are all examples of what type of disorder?

A

Abnormal curves of the vertebral column

47
Q

Define spina bifida

A

congenital defect of the verterbrael columb in which laminae of L5 and/or S1 fail to develop normally and unite at the midline
