Chapter 9 Flashcards
how many bones are in the adult skeleton
206
what are the two categories the adult skeleton bones are separated into
axial and appendicular
The ______ ________ is composed of ___ bones located along a vertical line, the longitudinal axis line of the body.
axial skeleton / 80
what is the function of the axial skeleton
support and protect the organs of the head, neck, and torso.
The __________ __________ is composed of __ bones that form the upper and lower limbs and the bones in the pectoral girdle and the pelvic girdle.
appendicular skeleton / 126
the three main parts of the axial skeleton are
skull, vertebral column and thoracic cage
there are also smaller bones located in the axial skeleton what are they
the ear ossicles
This group of bones surround and protects the brain and houses organs of hearing and equilibrium there are 8 bones, two are paired and four are single.
cranium
the group of bones provide the shape of the face, house the teeth, and provide attachments for the muscles of facial expression.
facial bones
what are the two bones of the cranium that are paired?(pied piper and tiny tim)
parietal and temporal
which bones make up the superior lateral wall (in the back of the skull forming a C around the temporal bones)
parietal
which bones make up the inferior lateral wall and house the organs of the inner ear (on each side found above the zygomatic sitting in the Curved portion of the C of the parietal bones).
temporal
what are the four single bones of the cranium? (Fred only sees Ethel)
Frontal bone
Occipital bone
Sphenoid bone
Ethmoid bone
the bone that makes up the anterior portion of the skull and lines up with the parietal bone at the coronal suture
frontal bone
the bone that makes up the posterior inferior portion of the skull, connects with the parietal bone at the lambdoid suture
occipital bone
floor and anterior wall of the nose
ethmoid bone
the small bone that is found in front of the temporal bone and under and slightly behind the frontal bone and posterior to ethmoid bone.
sphenoid bone
immovable joints between cranial and facial bones
sutures
what are the four main sutures in the skull (cold salad and lumpy soup)
coronal
sagittal
lambdoid
squamous
this suture joins the frontal and parietal bones
coronal
this suture joins the two parietal bones in the middle in the back of the skull (runs vertically)
sagittal
this suture joins both parietal bones with occipital bones in the back of the skull (runs horizontally)
lambdoid
this suture joins the temporal and parietal bones
squamous
there are __ facial bones __ paired and __ single.
14 / 6 / 2
name the six paired facial bones (most zebras like names in parks)
maxillae zygomatic lacrimal nasal inferior nasal conchae palatine
name the only two single facial bones (very merry)
vomer
mandible
forms the upper jaw and hard palate of the roof of your mouth at the front
maxillae
the cheek bones
zygomatic
where the tear ducts come out forms the orbit of the eye connects to the nasal bone
lacrimal
bridge of the nose runs up between eyes and connects to lacrimal bones
nasal
shell or scroll shaped or turbinate on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity inferiorly ( when looking at a picture from the front it looks like a little tube hanging on the inside right nostril)
inferior nasal conchae
the posterior part of the hard palate in the roof of the mouth nearer to back of the mouth
palatine bones
the lower jaw, a single bone that moves up and down for chewing
mandible
a single bone that forms the floor of the nasal cavity and inferior portion of the nasal septum, the tip connects where the two palatine bones come together. (you can feel this piece when you push on the part of your nose between the two holes)
vomer
Opening or hole for blood vessels and nerves to go through
foramen
shallow depression for muscle attachment or articulation (joint)
fossa
tube-like opening, a tubular passageway for blood vessels and nerves
meatus
smooth, rounded articular process for articulation
condyle
each temporal bones has one of each of these six bones (every moment matters, say zebra carcasses)
external auditory meatus mandibular fossa mastoid process styloid process zygomatic arch carotid foramen canal
a tube-like opening or tubular passageway for the ear canal, (associated with temporal bone)
external auditory meatus
a depression for articulation with the condylar process (mandibular condyle) to form the temporomandibular joint known as TMJ looks like craters on the moon when looking at a transverse cut of the top skull piece (associated with temporal bone)
mandibular fossa
rounded projection posterior to external auditory meatus; attachment piece for muscles (looks like a breast hanging down below the ear canal) (associated with temporal bone)
mastoid process
a long thin projection on inferior skull surface; attachment for muscles and ligaments of tongue and neck (looks like little fangs)(associated with temporal bone)
styloid process
formed from projection of the temporal bone and the zygomatic bone (you can feel this circular feeling bone from your cheeks to your ear)(associated with temporal bone)
zygomatic arch
foramen (opening or hole) for the carotid artery to pass through (medial to the little fangs)(associated with temporal bone)
carotid foramen (canal)
the large opening (or hole) connecting the lower brain to the spinal cord (associated with the occipital bone)
foramen magnum
two rounded processes that articulate with the atlas (c1) (associated with the occipital bone)
occipital condyles
there is one of these on either side of the crista galli; form the roof of nasal cavity (associated with the ethmoid bone) (the back or posterior of the three pieces that can be seen by looking at the inside with a transverse skull cut)
cribriform plates
sometimes called the rooster crest; it is the projection for attachment of membranes covering the brain. (associated with the ethmoid bone) (the top or anterior of the three pieces that can be seen by looking at the inside with a transverse skull cut)
crista galli
forms the upper part of the nasal septum ( you can feel this bone when you push down on the top, middle part of your nose) (associated with ethmoid bone)
perpendicular plate
two pairs of scroll-like projections on each lateral wall of the nasal cavity (when looking at a picture they look like larger little piece of bone in the left nostril) (associated with the ethmoid bone)
middle nasal conchae
superior nasal conchae
