LECTURE 5: HEAD Flashcards
What are the bones of the skull?
Cranial bones (8) Frontal bone Parietal bones (2) Temporal bones (2) Occipital bone Sphenoid bone Ethmoid bone (internal)
What are the parts of the frontal bone?
supraorbital notch/foramen, and zygomatic process
What does the zygomatic process articulate with?
part of the frontal bone that articulates with the zygomatic bone
What are the parts of the temporal bone?
Squamous part – flat
Petrous part -
Styloid process – can be palpated on cheek
Zygomatic process
What is contained in the petrous part of the temporal bone?
Contains mastoid process that has the External acoustic (auditory) meatus
What are the parts of the occipital bone?
foramen Magnus, and occipital condyles
What is the significance of the foramen Magnus?
exact point which brain stem becomes the spinal cord
What does the occipital condyles articulate with?
articulate with atlas C1 to flex and extend the head
What are the parts of the sphenoid bone?
Greater wing – butterfly shape
Lesser wing
Sella turcica –
Pterygoid processes
What is the significance of the sella turcica?
where pituitary sits
What does the ethmoid bone make up?
nasal cavity
What is the significance of the cribriform plate?
has lots of tiny foramen because olfactory nerve/nervelets that innervate superior nasal conchae
What is the significance of the perpendicular plate?
form nasal septal separating internal parts of the nose
What is the role of the nasal conchae?
creates more surface area, clean air and moisten air we breathe
What is a sinus infection?
ethmoid cells fill with back and mucus get stuck in your sinuses and creates a lot of pressure
Where does the coronal suture lie?
Between frontal and parietal bones
Where does the sagittal suture lie?
Between parietal bones
Where does the bregma suture lie?
Where sagittal suture meets coronal; Soft spot in baby’s head
Where does the squamous suture lie?
Between temporal and parietal bones
Where does the lambodial suture lie?
between parietal and occipital bones
Where does the lambda suture lie?
Where sagittal suture meets the lambdoidal suture; soft spot in baby’s head
What are the 14 facial bones?
Maxilla (2 bone embryologically that fuse to one) Palatine bones (2) – hard palate Zygomatic bones (2) Mandible Lacrimal bones (2) Nasal bones (2) • Vomer – makes up rest of nasal septum Inferior nasal conchae (2)
What is a cleft palate?
when maxilla bones do not fuse - space between bones. You can create a suction especially for babies trying to eat
What bones does the zygomatic process articulate with?
o Processes that articulate with frontal maxillary and temporal bones
What bones does the nasal articulate with?
Articulates with frontal and maxillary bones
What bones does the nasal lacrimal articulate with?
lacrimal fossa
What is the role of the nasal lacrimal fossa?
drains your eyes into your lacrimal cavity
What are the components of the maxilla?
o Zygomatic process
o Infraorbital foramen
o Palatine process – Forms hard palate
What does the vomer form?
Forms nasal septum (with perpendicular plate of ethmoid)
What are the parts of the mandible?
Mental foramen Body of mandible Ramus of mandible – goes upward Angle of mandible Coronoid process – Condylar process –
What does the condylar process form?
Forms Tempo Mandibular Joint
What is the point of the coronoid process?
for muscle attachment for jaw movement
What are the 7 bones of the orbit?
- Frontal
- Sphenoid
- Zygomatic
- Lacrimal
- Maxillary
- Ethmoid
- Palatine
What are the muscles of the face?
Frontalis Temporalis Zygomaticus major Orbicularis oculi – surround eye and mouth Orbicularis oris Masseter Buccinator – cheek
