Facial bones & Blood Review Flashcards
The human skull is made up of 22 bones. How many bones make up the face?
What is 14
These bones consist of the nasal maxillary, Palatine, zygomatic, mandible, lacrimal, and inferior nasal conchae, and vomer
What are the facial bones?
These are paired oblong, shape, bones, are side-by-side at the upper and middle part of the face and form the bridge of the nose.
What are nasal bones?
These paired bones unite to form the upper jaw and articulate with all of the facial bones, except for the mandible.
What are the maxillary bone?
These bones helped form the floor of the eye orbits, the lateral walls and floor of the nasal cavity, and most of the hard palate otherwise known as the roof of the mouth.
Where are the maxillary bones?
These bones contain these three structures; maxillary sinus, the alveolar process and the palatine process
What are the maxillary bones?
The Antrum’s of Highmore are more commonly known as this sinus
What is the maxillary sinus?
These air filled cavities on each Maxilla drain into the nasal cavity
What is the maxillary sinus a.k.a. antrum’s of Highmore?
Is arch or horseshoes part of the maxillary bone contains 16 alveolar sockets, which hold your teeth
What is the alveolar process?
These 16 sockets with in the maxillary bone are known to hold your teeth
What are the alveolar sockets?
This horizontal process of the maxillary bone, forms the interior, part of the hard palate, otherwise known as the roof of your mouth
What is the palatine process of the maxillae?
Is paired L-shaped bones seen here help form the posterior portion of the hard palate via the horizontal plate
What are the Palatine Bones
These L shaped bones help form the posterior portion of the hard palate via the horizontal plate, and is part of the floor, and lateral wall of the nasal cavity, and a small part of the eye orbit
What are the palatine bone?
This particular part of the palatine bone forms, a posterior part of the hard palate
What is the horizontal plate?
These paired bones of the face are commonly known as cheek bones
What are the zygomatic bones a.k.a. malar bones?
These paired facial bones help form the cheek prominences, and the lateral wall and floor of the eye orbit
What are zygomatic bones a.k.a. malar bones
This paired facial bone, most famously contains the temporal process
What are the zygomatic bones a.k.a. malar bones?
The temporal Process, projects posteriorly from this facial bone…
What is the zygomatic process
The temporal process articulates with this process of the temporal bone
What is the zygomatic process?
The zygomatic process of the temporal bone, and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone form these famous facial arches
What are the zygomatic arches
This singular facial bone forms a lower jaw. It contains these five parts; the Rami, body, angle, mental eminence, and Alveolar process.
What is the mandible?
Other than the auditory Ossicles, this is the only movable bone of the Skull.
What is the mandible?
This bone is known to be the largest and strongest of the facial bones
What is the mandible?
Name the five parts of the mandible?
The rami, the body, the angle, mental eminence, and Alveolar process
This vertical perpendicular part is on each side of the mandible
What is the rami?
This part of the mandible contains the Coronoid process, and the condylar Process, and the mandibular notch
What is the rami?
This interior portion of the rami (of the mandible) is an attachment point for the temporalis muscle
What is the coronoid process?
This posterior portion of the rami articulates with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone to form the temporomandibular joint
What is the condylar process?
This notch/depression, located in the rami is between the coronoid and the condylar process.
What is a Mandibular notch?
This big horizontal part of the mandible is on each side of the mandible
What is the body?
This bent curved portion between the body, and the rami, is where the body meets the Rami and is located on the mandible
What is the angle?
This bony projection of the chin is also known as a mental protuberance
What is mental eminence?
This bony projection of the chin is where the two bodies meets on the mandible.
When is the mental eminence a.k.a. mental protuberance.
This word in Latin means chin
What is Mentum
This word means rounded elevation
What is eminence?
