Exam 6. Chapter 26 Flashcards
Bones of skull
Surrounds brain and protects it from injury.
Forms facial features.
Participates in the growth process of jaws.
Malocclusion
Improper relationship of the teeth and jaws. (Max. To mand. Teeth)
How many bones in the skull
22
Bones of skull decided in
2 groups:
- neurocranium
- viscerocranium
Neurocranium
Bones surrounding the brain.
- frontal (1)
- sphenoid (1)
- ethmoid (1)
- occipital (1)
- temporal (2)
- parietal (2)
Viscerocranium
Bones of the face:
- mandible (1)
- vomer (1)
- nasal bones (2)
- lacrimal (2)
- zygomatic (2)
- inferior nasal concha (2)
- palative (2)
- maxilla (2)
Suture
Joining together of 2 or more bones
Foramen
Short tubelike opening through bone
Canal
Long tubelike opening through bone
Orbit
Eye cavity
Tim of the orbit comes from
Frontal, zygomatic and maximally bones
Most difficult view of skull for student
Inferior view
Hard palate formed by
Palatal process of maxilla
Palatal process of palatine bones
Sphenooccipital synchondrosis
Major area of endochondral bone formation- develops facial profiles and malocclusions
Supraorbital notch (foramen)
Upper rim of orbit. Nerve and blood supply to forehead
Coronal suture
Formed between frontal and parietal bones
Infraorbital foramen
Arteries and nerves to upper lip lower eyelid and side of nose
Canine eminence
Ridge of bone over max. Canines
Canine fossae
Depression in bone above canine eminence
Alveolar process
Forms in the pockets that the teeth sit in
Mental foramen
Mandible-mental nerve and vessels pass to chin, lower lip and labial gingiva of anterior mandible
Optic foramen
Opening in orbit where optic nerves enters in
Lambdoid suture
Formed from Parietal and occipital bones
Squamosal suture
Squamous portion of temporal and parietal bones. - overlapping suture
