Exam 1 Flashcards
Cranial bones
Frontal, Parietal (2), spheroid, ethmoid, temporal (2)
Facial bones
maxillae (2), palatine (2), zygomatic (2), lacrimal (2), nasal (2), inferior nasal conchae (2), vomer (1), mandible (1)
maxillae
only facial bone with a sinus, intermaxillary suture, alveolar processes
palatine
hard plate
zygomatic
cheek bones
lacrimal
medial wall of each orbit (eye socket), smallest bone of skull, lacrimal fossa
nasal
nose bridge
inferior nasal conchae
nasal cavity
vomer
no muscle attachment
mandible
only movable bone of the skull; strongest skull bone
frontal bone formaina
supraorbital foramen or notch
temporal bone
carotid canal, external acoustic meatus, jugular foramen
occipital bone
foramen magnum, hypoglossal canal
sphenoid bone
foramen ovale, foramen rotundum, optic canal, superior orbital fissure
maxilla
inferior orbital fissure, infraorbital foramen
mandible
mental foramen, mandibular foramen
spinal cord is transmitted through the
foramen magnum of the occipital bone
Vertebral column
cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacral (5), coccygeal (4)
thoracic vertebrae
costal facets are the attachment points for the 12 pairs of ribs, spinous process is pointed downward, larger than cervical vertebrae
rib articulation
attached to the thoracic vertebrae by the facet joints; the facet joints expands when we breathe
Carpals
proximal row: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform
distal row: trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate
(some lovers try positions that they can’t handle)
atlas
flat bone in neck, produces “yes” motion, and supports the skull
axis
“no” motion, dens (odontoid process) provides rotational movement
Pectoral Girdle
shoulder girdle - incomplete gridle that contains the clavicle and the scapla
