frontal and parietal bones
What does the saggital suture join?
parietal bones
What does the squamous suture join?
squamous part of the temporal bone and parietal bone
what does the lambdoid suture join?
occipital bone with parietal and temporal
what is the pterion?
convergence of the sutures of the frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones
What are the facial bones? (7)
maxilla, mandible, nasal, zygomatic, lacrimal, vomer and palatine
How do they facial bones articulate?
all by immovable joints with the exception of the mandible (synovial condyloid joints)
Which facial bone are unpaired?
mandible, vomer and ethmoid
What are the bones of the nasal septum?
- ethmoid (superior midline)
- vomer (inferior midline)
- inferior nasal conchae
What is the Calvaria and where is it thick and thin?
Formed by squamous part of frontal bone, parietal bones and occipital bones
Thick= frontal and occipital bones
Thin = parietal bone
what are the four main groups of muscles of facial expression?
Orbital group
Nasal group
oral group
other group
What is the muscle that makes up the orbital group of facial expression muscles?
Orbicularis oculi
What are the actions of the Orbicularis oculi?
Ring of muscle around eye
Action = gentle closure of eyelid (palpebral part)
Forcible closure of eyelid (orbital eyelid)
What are the two parts of the nasalis and what are their actions?
Has transverse and alar parts
Action = narrows nosrils (transverse) dilates (alar)
What muscles make up the oral group of the facial expression muscles? (7)
orbicularis oris
buccinator,
zygomatic major
zygomatic minor
Risorius
depressor anguli oris
mentalis.
orbicularis oris
Around lips
Closes mouth and used for kissing
Buccinator
Deep muscle of cheek
Forcibly expresses air and chewing
What are the muscles that assist in smiling?
Major Zygomatic: Raises the angle of mouth superolateral (smiling)
Minor Zygomatic : elevates upper lip
Risoriius: Draws mouth/ stretches lip laterally
