Exam 4 Pt. 1 Flashcards
Articulation
the adjustments of the shape and acoustical properties of the vocal tract.
Mobile articulators
tongue, mandible, velum, lips, cheeks, fauces, pharynx, larynx, & hyoid bone.
immobile articulators
alveolar ridge, maxillae, hard palate, and teeth
12 components of the Mandible
coronoid process, mandibular foramen, mylohyoid line, alveolar part, mental symphysis, mental protuberance, mental foramen, corpus, angle, ramus, mandibular notch, condylar process
coronoid process
insertion point of temporalis muscle
mandibular foramen
passage for inferior alveolar nerve of V trigeminal and blood vessels
mylohyoid line
insertion point for various muscles
alveolar part
houses the teeth
mental symphysis
midline
mental protuberance
point of chin
mental foramen
passage for mental nerve of V trigeminal
corpus
body
condylar process
articulates with mandibular fossa of the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint
frontal process
articulates with frontal bone
infraorbital margin
contributes to the structure of the eye socket
infraorbital foramen
passage for infraorbital nerve of the V trigeminal
zygomatic process
articulates with the zygomatic bone, contributes to the structure of the zygomatic arch.
nasal crest and notch
notch and crest at midline
palatine process
contributes to the structure of the hard palate, articulates with the horizontal process of the palatine bone.
anterior nasal spine
anterior point at where the two maxillae articulate with one another
alveolar process
houses teeth
transverse palatine suture
between horizontal plates of palatine bones and palatine process of maxillae
intermaxillary suture
betweeen the two palatine process of the maxillae
palatine process
contributes to the anterior 3/4 of hard palate
premaxilla
anterior section of palate
premaxillary suture
between premaxilla and palatine processes
incisive foramen
passage of nerves, landmark related to the formation of the palate.
nasal bones
forms bridge of nose, articulates with frontal bone, maxillae, perpendicular plate of ethomoind bone, and nasal cartilage.
sphenoid process
articulates with sphenoid bone
orbital process
contributes to the structure of the eye socket
perpendicular plates
contributes to the formation of the posterior wall of nasal cavity
horizontal plates
posterior 1/4 of hard palate, articulates with palatine process of maxilla
posterior nasal spine
posterior point where both palatine bones articulate with one another
inferior nasal conchae
located on lateral walls of nasal cavity
vomer
contributes to formation of nasal septum, divides the nasal cavity, formed by vomer bone, perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone, and cartilage.
zygomatic bone
frontal process, temporal process, maxillary process, zygomatic arch
frontal process
articulates with frontal bone
temporal process
articulates with temporal bone, contributes to formation of zygomatic arch
maxillary process
articulates with maxilla
zygomatic arch
formed by the temporal process of the zygomatic bones and the zygomatic process of the temporal process.
lacrimal bones
form the medial wall of orbital cavity
