Cranium, Facial Bones, Zygomatic Arches And Orbits Flashcards
Smallest bones in the skull
Lacrimal bones
What passes through the lacrimal foramen
Tear duct
Nasal bones articulate with eachother in what plane
Mid sag
Which facial bones have pairs
Nasal, lacrimal, maxillary, zygomatic, palatine, inferior nasal conchae
Largest immovable bones of the face
Maxillary
Where are lacrimal bones found
Anterior part of the medial wall of the orbits between the labyrinth of the ethmoid bone and the maxilla
What X-rays show the lacrimal bones
Pa and lateral projections
Where are lacrimal bones found
Anterior pard of the medial wall of the orbits between the labyrinth of the ethmoid bone and The maxilla
The alveolar process
Thick spongy ridge on the inferior border of maxilla
Each maxilla contains a large
Pyramidal cavity called maxillary sinus
Maxillary bones form a pointed forward -projecting process called
Anterior nasal spine
Zygomatic bones form the
Prominence of the cheeks and part of the side wall and floor of orbital cavities
Nasal conchae are
Long, narrow, extremely thin, curl laterally
Small u-shaped bone situated at the base of the tongue
Hyoid bone
Sutures are classified by
Fibrous joints of the suture type
The atlantooccipital joint is a
Synovial ellipsoidal joint
Bones of the orbit
Frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, maxilla, zygoma, lacrimal and palatine
The long axis of the orbit is oblique and forms an angle of what with midsag
37 degrees
The superior orbital fissure is the cleft between
The greater and lesser wing of the sphenoid bone
Blowout fracture is best seen on what X-ray
Pacietoacanthial projection - waters method
Fracture of orbital floor
Blowout fracture
Fractures of zygomatic arch
Depressed fracture
Tripod fracture - all three sutures
Maxilla fracture
Lefort fracture ( I, II, III)
Facial bone fracture is a
Visceral cranial fracture
Slowest healing bone in the body
Mandible
What projection do you do for a blowout fracture
Modified waters
Most frequently fractured facial bone
Nasal bone
Lefort I
Palate
Blowout fracture is a
Orbital floor fracture
Lefort II
Nose and palate
Lefort III
Entire face
Lefort I : nasomaxillary signs
Malocclusion, buccal ecchymosis, epistaxis, maxillary creptius and maxilla mobile
Lefort II: pyramidal - signs
Midface crepitus, facial lengthening, bilateral epistaxis,infra orbital parasthesia, ecchymosis
Lefort III: craniofacial disjunction signs
Caved in or flattened, lengthened face, csf rhinoronea, bilateral epistaxis
2 bones that form the bony nasal septum
Perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone and vomer
Cones of the eyes form an angle of what with msp
37 degrees
Cones of the eye form an angle of what with IOML
30 degrees
