contains:
alveolar process
palatine process

34
Q

Alveolar process (maxilla)

A

houses the upper teeth

35
Q

Palatine process

A

most of the hard palate (anterior)

36
Q

Maxilla sinus

A

paired, large cavity from orbits to alveolar processes

37
Q

Zygomatic bone

A

-cheekbone
-paired and forms part of orbits
contains:
maxillary process
frontal process
temporal process

38
Q

Maxillary process

A

articulates with the maxilla

-part of the zygomatic bone

39
Q

Frontal process

A

articulates with the frontal bone

-part of the zygomatic bone

40
Q

Temporal process

A

articulates with the zygomatic process of temporal bone

-part of zygomatic bone

41
Q

Vomer bone

A
  • unpaired
  • triangular shape
  • helps form inferior nasal septum
42
Q

Palatine bone

A

-paired and is an “L” shaped bone
contains:
horizontal plate
vertical (perpendicular) plate

43
Q

Horizontal plate

A

from posterior hard palate

44
Q

Vertical (perpendicular) plate of Palatine bone

A

forms nasal cavity

posterior and lateral of nasal cavity

45
Q

Lacrimal bone

A
  • paired and anterior
  • forms medial walls of orbits
  • groove (lacrimal fossa) > tear drainage into nasal cavity
46
Q

Nasal bone

A
  • paired, anterior
  • bones and hyaline cartilage
  • forms part of the nasal cavity
47
Q

Inferior nasal conchae

A

-paired
-form part of lateral nasal cavity wall
-air passes through conchae with high surface area
- allows for heating, humidification and filtering of inhaled air
increases the amount of air to pass through body

48
Q

What are the four paired sinuses

A

maxillary (largest)
sphenoid
ethmoid
frontal

49
Q

The paranasal sinuses are air-filled spaces in the skull around the nasal cavity for:

A
  • mucous production
  • lightens skull
  • resonant chambers for sound production while speaking
50
Q

Hyoid bone

A
  • located between the mandible and larynx
  • does not articulate with another bone
  • ligament connects it with the styloid process of temporal bone
51
Q

List the vertebral column, how many bones are in each section and where they are located

53
Q

Spinous process

A

projects posteriorly

54
Q

Transverse process

A

-lateral projection

55
Q

nod yes

57
Q

Axis C2 “dens”

A

dens=superior projection
the missing body of atlas- cradles the anterior arch of atlas
nod no

58
Q

atlantoaxial joint

A

Dens C2 allows for the rotation of the skull due to the transverse ligaments

59
Q

Sacrum

A

-5 vertebrae
-fuse between 20-30years
Alas: “wings” on each side that articulates with the os coxae along the auricular surface
Sacral promontory: the anteriorsuperior edge of the first vertebrae (near the body’s centre of gravity)

60
Q

Coccyx

A
  • fusion of 4 vertebrae
  • common: tail bone
  • attachment site for ligaments and muscles
61
Q

Thoracic Cage

A
  • bony frame around the chest composed of the:
    1. thoracic vertebrae
    2. sternum
    3. ribs
    4. costal cartilage
  • protects the lungs, heart, trachea, esophagus and other thoracic organs
62
Q

Sternum

A
  • common: breastbone
  • anterior midline
  • contains 3 components:
    1. marubrium
    2. body
    3. xiphoid process
