Face, Scalp, Muscles of Facial Expression, Parotid Gland, and Skull Flashcards
Neurocranium
portion of skill containing brain and brainstem, includes meninges
Viscerocranium
the portion of skull making up the face, made from neural crest cells
bones are derived from pharyngeal arches
cranial base
bones underlying the base
also called basocranium
cranial vault
bones covering the brain
also called calvaria
sensory capsules
bones encapsulating sensory organs
endonchrondral ossification bones
bones composed of hylaine cartilage replaced by bone
cranial base bones
intramembranous ossification bones
bone tissue directly replaces mesenchyme
skull vault (calvaria), maxilla, mandible, zygomatic, squamous portion of temporal bone
pharyngeal arch derivatives
neural crest cells migration into arches and from bones
malleus, incus, stapes, styloid, process of temporal bone, hyoid bone
non-ossified bones
nasal septum and speno-occipital synchordosis (SOS)
supraorbital foramen
above eye in frontal bone
infraorbital foramen
in the maxillae bone
mental foramen
in the chin, mandible bone
temporal bone processes
zygomatic process
external acoustic meitus
mastoid process
styloid process
coronal suture
in between frontal and parietal
squamosal suture
in between parietal and temporal
pterion
H shape of the sutures (coronal and squamosal) comes together
vulnerable point in the skull
on lateral side
sagital suture
separates the two parietal bones
bregma
center point of the coronal suture and saggital suture
lamboid suture
in between parietal and occipital bone
lambda
center point between lamboid and saggital suture
craniosynotosis
premature closure of a suture in the infant
causes abnormal head shape because skull can only grow parallel to close suture
scaphaocephaly
premature closure of saggital suture
narrow elongated head
plagiocephaly
premature suture of coronal or lamboid suture on one side only
assymetric, twisted head
brachycephaly
premature closure of the coronal suture
tall flat head
Layer of the scalp
skin
connective tissue (dense) - contains nerves and vessels
aponeurosis - connecting the frontalis muscle and the occipitalis m
loos connective tissue - associated with venous communication, infection
pericranium - periosteum of skull
muscles of facial expression
come from the 2nd pharyngeal arch
facial nerve (cranial nerve VII)
occipitofrontalis
elevates eyebrows, wrinkles forehead - surprise
orbicularis occuli
closes eyelids
nasalis
compresses and dilates nostrils
orbicularis oris
purses lip to kiss
buccinator
presses cheek against molar teeth
important for chewing
mentalis
wrinkles chin
