Head and Neck Part 1 Flashcards
Sagittal Plane
Passes throught the body front to back and creates right and left
Coronal Plane
Passes through the body from side to side creating anterior and posterior
Transverse
PAsses horizontally and creates superior and inferior
Anterior/Ventral
Toward the front of the body
Posterior/Dorsal
Toward the back of the body
Medial
Toward the midline
Lateral
Away from the midline
Contralateral
Opposite sides of the body
Superficial
More toward the outside
Deep
More internally
Proximal
Closer to the point of attachment to the trunk
Distal
Away from trunk point of attachment
Superior/Cranial
Towards the top
Inferior/caudal
Away from the head
Apex
Narrow end or tip of conical structure
Tongue Surfaces
Ventral is the underside of the tongue
Dorsal is the top of the tongue
Osteology
Study of bones
Intramembranous
NO CARTILAGE
Begins as fibrous membrane of collagen and blood vessels
Osteoblasts
Bone forming cells
Osteoclasts
Bone destroying cells
Osteocytes
Matrue bone cell embedded in bone matric and maintains bone
Endochondral Ossicification
Cartilage is present as precursor and gradually replaced by bone produced by osteoblasts (long bones)
Cartilage
Noncalcified, avascular, precurspr to bone
Hyaline Cartilage
Most abundant, precursor to bone, facilitates smooth joints
Fibrocartilage
Strongest, contains collagen in matrix, provides rigidity
Elastic Cartilage
Contains elastic fibers in its matrix
Provides support and defines shape
External Ear
Bony Prominace
Bone immediately below the skin
Condyle
Rounded articular process. Forms joints
Tuberosity
a large rough rounded process on the surface of bone for attachment of connective tissue
Tubercle/Eminance
a small rough rounded process on the surface of bone for attachment of connective tissue
Arch
A bridge like bony structure
Spine
sharp slender projection. Site of muscle attachment
Notch
Indentation at teh edge of the bone, articulary surface
Sulcus
channel-like shallow depression that usually accomodates blood vessel or tendon
Fossa
Deeper depression on bone or surface
Joints
articulation classified by amount of movement allowed
Sutures
fibrous joint formed on the skull where bones are held together
Foramen
short round hole in bone
Canal
long tube like opening in bone
Meatus
Type of canal or channel in bone
Fissure
a narrow slit like opening between adjacent parts of bone forming a passageway for blood vessels and nerves
Cranial Bones
Bones that surrond the Brain
