what are the two general classes of skull bones?
Neurocranium - 8 bones that surround the brain
Viscerocranium - 14 bones that form the face
list the 8 bones of the neurocranium
- frontal bone
- parietal bones
- occipital bone
- ethmoid bones
- sphenoid bones
Le Fort I
horizontal fracture detaching the maxilla along the nasal floor
Le Fort II
pyramidal fracture that includes both maxillae, nasal bones, infraorbital rims and orbital floors
Le Fort III
includes the Le Fort II fracture and both zygomatic bones, may cause airway obstruction, nasoacrimal obstruction, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage
what are midface fractures referred to as ?
le fort I, II, and III

1.2 - 8
Lamboid Suture
1.2 - 9
Temporal Bone (Squamous part, Zygomatic process, external acoustic meatus, mastoid process)
pterion
the site of union of the frontal, parietal, sphenoid and temporal bones - a blow to the head or a skull fracture in this region is dangerous because the bone at this site is thing and the middle meningeal artery, supplying the dural covering of the brain, lies just deep to this area.
asterion
the site of union of the temporal, parietal and occipital bones
1.2 - linear skull fracture
fracture with a distinct fracture line
1.2 - comminuted skull fracture
fracture with multiple bone bragments (fragments are depressed if driven inwardly and can tear the dura mater)
1.2 - diastasic skull fracture
fracture along a suture line
1.2 - basilar skull fracture
fracture along the base of the skull
what is the cause of a epidural hematoma
a blow to the pterion which tears the middle meningeal arteries causing bleeding inbetween the periosteal layer of dura and the overlying bone

1.3 - 6
palatine bone
1.3 - 7
occipital bone
1.3 - 8
temporal bone (squamous part, petrous part )
1.3 - 9
parietal bone
which bones form the nasal septum
the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, the vomer, the palantine bones and the septal cartilages
in which bone houses the middle and inner ear cavities and the vestibular system

1.4 - 9
lacrimal bone
conchae
projections of the ethmoid bones which are called turbinates when covered in mucosa
which bones form the hard palate
palatine process of the maxillae and the horizontal plates of the palatine bones
where does the pituitary gland lie
hypophyseal fossa
what is the surgical approach for the removal of a pituitary tumor
through nasal cavity, by passing through the nasal cavity by passing through the phenoidal sinus and directly emntering the hypophosseal fossa
