head and neck (2) Flashcards
True or False
The muscles of mastication and facial expression have different nerve supply.
TRUE
Mastication: CNV3
Facial expression: CN VII (facial nerve)
This bone forms part of the nasal septum?
A. Sphenoid bone
B. Nasal bone
C. Ethmoid bone
D. Frontal bone
C
Most commonly fractured bone in the FACE
nasal bone
Most commonly fractured bone in the MANDIBLE
Condylar process of mandible
immovable or fixed joint; formed by a union of adjacent bony structures held together by immovable/fixed joint.
suture
point or a landmark where the coronal suture intersects with the sagittal suture
bregma
the bony case of the brain and its membranous coverings, the cranial meninges
neurocranium
dome-like roof of the neurocranium
calvaria (skullcap)
a floor or cranial base
(basicranium)
bones forming the calvaria
frontal, parietal, and occipital formed by intramembranous ossification
bones contributing to the cranial base
sphenoidal and temporal formed by endochondral ossification
NEUROCRANIUM (4 single, 2 paired)
Ethmoid
Frontal
Occipital
Sphenoid
Parietal (2)
Temporal (2)
Consists of the bones surrounding the mouth (upper and lower jaws), nose/nasal cavity, and most of the orbits (eye sockets or orbital cavities)
viscerocranium
VISCEROCRANIUM (6 *Paired, 2 single)
Zygomatic*
Inferior nasal concha*
Maxilla*
Nasal*
Palatine*
Lacrimal*
Vomer (1)
Mandible (1)
Separates the frontal and parietal bones
coronal suture
Separates the parietal bones
sagittal suture
Separates the parietal and temporal bones from the occipital bones
lambdoid suture
Separates the squamous part of the temporal bone from the parietal bone
SQUAMOUS SUTURE
Separates the greater wing of the sphenoid from the squamous part of the temporal bone
SPHENOSQUAMOUS SUTURE
This suture is where the two parietal bones articulate in the midline posteriorly
Lambdoid suture
Coronal suture
Sagittal suture
Bregma
C
craniometric point Between Coronal and Sagittal sutures
Bregma
craniometric point Between Sagittal and Lambdoid sutures
lambda
Thinnest part of skull
Usually indicated by an H-shaped formation of sutures that unite the frontal, parietal, sphenoid (great wing), and temporal bones
pterion
Clinical implication
Vulnerable to fracture
Fractures can cause intracranial bleeding, as pterion overlies anterior division of middle meningeal artery and vein
Posterior counterpart of pterion
Formed by the union of occipital, temporal, and parietal
asterion
