Q

What are sutures in the skull made up of?

A

Sharpey’s fibers (type 1 collagen)

20
Q

What do the sharpey’s fibers do?

A

Connect periosteum to the bone, provides strength and absorbs bone strain across suture

21
Q

What happens when equines fall on their poll?

A

Basisphenoid fractures and avulsion of the longus capitus

Possible acute optic nerve damage

22
Q

What are the three types of skull fractures?

A

Depressed - Linear - Comminuted

23
Q

What is a depressed skull fracture?

A

Fragment of bone is depressed inward to compress or injure the brain

24
Q

What is a linear fracture?

A

Usually occur at the point of impact, with fracture lines radiating away in two or more directions

25
Q

What is a comminuted fracture?

A

Bone is broken into several pieces

26
Q

What is the rostrum portion of the skull made up of?

A

Premaxilla, maxilla, palatine, nasal, lacrimal, and portions of the frontals and zygomatics

27
Q

What is the hard palate made up of?

A

Premaxilla, maxilla, palatine, upper portion of “dental battery”

28
Q

What is within the nasal choane?

A

Nasal conchae

29
Q

What are nasal conchae?

A

Thin, scroll-like bones that are covered with repiratory and nasal epithelia

30
Q

What makes up the bony orbit?

A

Zygomatic, lacrimal, frontal, maxilla, and palatine

31
Q

What ligament is with in the orbit of the eye?

A

Postorbital ligament

32
Q

What is the floor of the orbit formed by?

A

Processes of zygomatic, maxilla, and palatine

33
Q

What is the zygomatic arch?

A

Formed via the temporal process of the zygomatic bone and the zygomatic process of the temporal bone

34
Q

What muscle’s origin is the zygomatic arch?

A

Masseter muscle (ventral edge of the zygomatic arch)

35
Q

What does the mandible articulate with?

A

Temporal, at the temporomandibular joint

36
Q

What is within the mandible?

A

Lower dental battery

37
Q

What foramen are within the mandible?

A

Mental foramina and mandibular foramen
