Q

Which of the following sutures is correctly matched with its landmark?

a) Inion - midpoint on posterior margin of foramen magnum
b) Bregma - junction of sagittal and coronal sutures
c) Opisthion- junction of sagittal and lamboidal sutures
d) Lambda - prominent part of the external occipital protuberance.

A

b) Bregma - junction of sagittal and coronal sutures

Below are the correct pairings!
Opisthion - midpoint on posterior margin of foramen magnum
Bregma - jxn of sagittal and coronal sutures
** Lambda - jxn of sagittal and lamboidal sutures
**Inion - prominent part of the external occipital protuberance.

Q

Which of the following sutures is correctly matched with its landmark?

a) Asterion- smooth prominence on frontal bone between and above the eyebrows
b) Pterion - meeting of frontal, parietal, sphenoid, and temporal bones
c) Nasion- junction of lambed suture, OM suture and parietomastoid suture
d) Glabella - junction of frontal and nasal bone sutures

A

b) Pterion - meeting of frontal, parietal, sphenoid, and temporal bones

Correct pairings below:

  • Glabella: smooth prominence on frontal bone between and above the eyebrows (close to mitopic suture)
  • Pterion: meeting of frontal, parietal, sphenoid, and temporal bones
  • Asterion: junction of lambed suture, OM suture and parietomastoid suture (more posterior)
  • Nasion: junction of frontal and nasal bone sutures

The reciprocal tension membrane has two layers, the outer layer….

A

lines cranial cavity, inner periosteum…………

27
Q

A

..

28
Q

The Brain and spinal cord have inherent motility. What is it like?

A

Subtle, slow, pulse, wavelike motion

Biphasic (Inalation vs. Exhalation)

29

The cranial bones exhibit….?

A

articular mobility

30
Q

What are the adult sutures?

A

Serrate, squamous, harmonic and Squa….

31
Q

“Beveled like gills of a fish” is a term described on the beveling that is located on which site?

A

External / out side`

32
Q

T or F: the sacrum moves voluntarily

A

F: The sacrum moves INVOLUNTARILY

33
Q

poles and axis?

A

??

34
Q

T or F: The cranial rhythmic impulse cycles at 10-14 times per minute

A

True

35
Q

36
Q
Which is not a midline bone? Which lines do this move in?
Occiput
sphenoid
parietal
sacrum
ethmoid
vomer
A

parietal;

Midline bones ONLY move in flexion and extension

37
Q

Which is not a paired bone? (note, there are much more than this list) What motion do these bones move in?

a) Temporal
b) Frontal
c) Zygoma
d) Maxilla
e) Sphenoid

A

e) Sphenoid

Paired bones only move in EXTERNAL and INTERNAL rotation.

38
Q

When the midline bones in flexion, where do the paired bones move?

A

Flexion= External rotation

39
Q

When the midline bones in extension, where do the paired bones move?

A

Extension: internal rotation

40
Q

In cranial flexion what is occurring?

A

Inhalation
Midline structures:
- Sacrum base rotates posterior/superior
- SBS rises
