Lecture 20- Skull and Cranial Nerves Flashcards
the neurocranium provides attachment for what muscles
neck, pharyngeal and chewing muscles
what three bones form the base of the neurocranium
presphenoid, basiphenoid, pterygoid
what are the three cranial fossae of the skull
rostral (caudal to cribiform plate)
middle (medial to orbital fissure)
caudal (between internal acoustic meatus and jugular foramen)
what does the viscerocranium contain
nasal cavity and dental batter
what is the rostrum viscerocranium composed of
premaxilla, maxilla, palantine, nasal, lacrimal, and portions of fronts and zygomatics
what is the hard palate composed of
premaxilla, maxilla, palantine and contains portions if the upper dental battery
what are nasal chonae
thin scroll like bones covered with respiratory and nasal epithelium
what is the postorbital ligament
forms lateral portion of the orbit
what muscle takes origin off the ventral edge of the zygomatic arch
masseter muscle
what does the mandible contain and where does it articulate
contains the lower dental battery and articulated with temporal at temporomandibular joint
what cranial nerve (s) exit the telecephalon
olfactory
what cranial nerve (s) exit the diencephalon
optic
what cranial nerve (s) exit the mesencephalon
oculomotor and trochlear
what cranial nerve (s) exit the metencephalon
trigeminal
what cranial nerve (s) exit the myelencephalon
abducent, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal
where does the olfactory nerve carry information to
piriform lobe of brain
what does the olfactory nerve travel through
cribiform plate
where does the optic nerve relay information from and to
from the retinal ganglion cells to the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus
