Chapter 8 (test 2) Flashcards
axial skeleton
skull, vertebral column, sternum, ribs, and hyoid
appendicular skeleton
pectoral girdle, upper limbs, hip bones and lower limbs
Number of bones and variations
Birth: 270 Adult: 206 Variation: -sesamoid bones develop in tendons - sutural bones
Sinuses
Paranasal Sinuses are the ethmoid, sphenoid, maxillary, and fontal
- mucous membrane lining and air filled
- lighten anterior portion of skull
- adds resonance to the voice
Cranial Bones and the cranium
Cranium protects the brain and associated sense organs - meninges separate the brain from direct contact with the bones 8 cranial bones -1 frontal -2 parietal -2 temporal -1 occipital -1 sphenoid -1 ethmoid
sutures
lines running between the cranial bones where they connect
foramina
holes for nerves and blood vessels
Facial Bones
-support teeth
-gives shape and individuality to face
-form point of orbital and nasal cavities
-attachments for muscles of facial expression and mastication
14 bones
-2 maxillae
-2 palatine bones
-2 zygomatic bones
-2 lacrimal bones
-2 nasal bones
-2 inferior nasal conchae
-1 vomer
-1 mandible
Bones associated with the skull
auditory ossicles
- 3 inner ear bones: malleus, stapes, and incus
hyoid bone
-supports the tongue
frontal bone
forehead and part of roof of cranium
- coronal suture: connects frontal bone to parietal bones
- supraorbital margin and supraorbital foramen
- contains frontal sinus
Parietal Bones
most of cranial roof and part of its lateral walls
-bordered by all four sutures
-sagittal: between the parietal bones
-coronal: between the frontal and parietal bones
-lambdoid: between the parietal and occipital bone
-squamous: between the temporal and parietal
2 temporal lines= attachment of temporalis muscle
Temporal Bones
Lateral wall and part of floor of cranial cavity
- zygomatic process
- mandibular fossa
- external auditory meatus
- internal auditory meatus: opening for vestibulocochlear nerve
- masstiod process and mastiod notch
Occipital Bone
Rear and base of skull
- foramen magnum- opening for the spinal cord
- skull rests on occipital condyles
- external occipital protuberance for nuchal ligament
Sphenoid bone
Optic foramen
sella turcica: houses pituitary gland
sphenoid sinus
-butterfly shaped bone touching the occipital and temporal bones
ethmoid Bone
located between the eyes
-perpendicular plate: superior 2/3 of nasal septum
Cribriform (olfactory) foramina
labyrinth with ethmoidal cells=ethmoid sinus
superior and middle nasal conchae: create turbulent airflow
Maxilla
Intermaxillary suture aveolar processes: bony points between teeth alveolus: sockets holding teeth palate: allows chewing while breathing -palatine process maxillary process
palatine bones
l-shaped bones
-horizontal plate
-perpendicular plate
posterior portion of hard palate
Zygomatic Bones
forms angles of cheek bones and part of lateral orbital wall
-zygomatic arch: from temporal process of zygomatic bone and zygomatic process of temporal bone
Lacrimal Bones
froms part of medial wall of each orbit smallest bones of the skull lacrimal fossa with lacrimal sac -tears collect in lacrimal sac--> nasal cavity located behind the eyes
Nasal Bones
bridge of nose
supports cartilages shaping lower portion of nose
often fractured by blow to nose
Inferior Nasal Conchae
3 conchae in nasal cavity
-superior and middle: part of ethmoid bone
Inferior nasal concha: a separate bone
