Face, Scalp and Skull Flashcards
What is the portion of the skull making up the face?
Viscerocranium
What is the viscerocranium derived from?
Pharyngeal arches which come from neural crest cells
The portion of the skull that contains the brain and brainstem (meninges as well) would be what?
Neurocranium
What are the parts of the neurocranium?
- Cranial Base (basicranium): underlying the brain
- Cranial Vault (calvaria): covers the brain
- Sensory Capsules: bones encapsulating sensory organs
What is Endochondral Ossification? Give an example(s)
Hyaline cartilage that is replaced by bone (Cranial Base = chondrocranium)
What is Intramembranous Ossification? Give an example(s)
Bone tissue that directly replaces mesenchyme. (Calvaria, maxilla, mandible, zygomatic, squamous portion of temporal bone)
What is Pharyngeal Arch Derivatives (in relation to ossification)? Give example(s)
Neural crest cells that migrate into arches and from bone. (Malleus, incus, stapes, styloid process of temporal bone, hyoid bone)
Pharyngeal Arch 1 becomes what bones?
Arch 1: Maxilla, mandible, zygomatic bone, malleus, and incus
Pharyngeal Arch 2 becomes what bones?
Arch 2: Stapes, styloid process, lesser horn of hyoid, and superior portion of the hyoid
Pharyngeal Arch 3 becomes what bones?
Arch 3: Greater horn of hyoid and inferior portion of hyoid
All of the cranial base is ossified except for what?
Nasal Septum and Spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS)
What are the three modes of pistnatal growth?
Endochondral, Sutural, and Remodeling
What is Endochondral growth?
Occurring at synchondroses, it is similar to epiphyses of long bones where hyaline cartilage is replaced by bone
What is Sutural growth?
Creation of bones in sutures
What is remodeling growth?
Complex scouring and addition of bone to create a new surface
Facial bones develop from what?
mesenchyme of pharyngeal arches
What are the sinus of the skull
Sphenoid, ethmoid, maxillary, and frontal
When do sinuses develop?
Birth: not present
1 year: Growth center present
2 years: Definitive sinuses
