Intro of Head; Face and Scalp Flashcards
bone: completely surrounds the brain and some of the major sense organs
neurocranium
what does the neurocranium consist of?
1) basal bones
2) roofing bones
which part of the neurocranium contrains all of the major foramina of the skull?
basal bones
basal bones consist of:
- Ethmoid
- Temporal (petrous portion)
- Scaphoid
- Occipital
Roofing bones consist of:
- parietal
- frontal
- temporal (squamous portion)
bone: associated with feeding, respiration and communication; supports face and jaws
viscerocranium
viscerocranium consists of:
- Maxilla
- Mandible
- Palatine
- Zygomatic
- Vomer
- Inferior nasal concha
- lacrimal
- nasal
suture: b/w frontal and parietal bones
coronal
suture: b/w left and right parietal bones
sagittal
suture: separates the temporal bone from parietal bone
temporal (squamous)
suture: separates occipital from parietal (and temporal) bones
lamboid
suture: area sround a short suture b/w parietal bone and greater wing of sphenoid
pterion
what is very thick and protencts the neurocranium?
Scalp
layers of scalp proper
- Skin
- Connective tissue
- Apopneurosis
other compotents of scalp besides scalp proper
- Loose connective (areolar) tissue
- Pericranium
