Lecture 6 (The Skull and New born skeleton) Flashcards
Axial Skeleton
The midline structures
Skull, vertebral column and thorax
Petrous Bone
The ear canal
Rock like
Opening in the temporal bones that allow for sound to enter bone
Impossible to fracture
houses the 6 auditiory bones (Malleus, incus, stapes)
Mastoid process Sinus infection
Develop a sinus infection from and ear infection
Styloid Process
Several muscles of the neck are attached her
Sella turica
Saddle from turkey
Maxillary Sinus
Can be exposed when teeth are extracted, of the upper teeth
Atlas (C1)
Fused to the ocipital bone in front of the foramen magnum
Proper sound production
How the tongue strikes the maxillary bones,
Cleft palate will create inproper sound production
Nose Job
Changing the nasal bone, can become larger if you change the bone
changing cartilage will not change the bone
Cleft
Gap,
cleft lip = Skin
Cleft palate = the bones, creates gap to the nose,
1 in 700 births = USA
Third world far more common
Environmental factors, water, contaminated water and hygiene
Nasal Septum
Top is the ethmoid bone
Volmer is the bottom
sepal cartilage attaches to these bones
Trouble breathing break the septum and realign deviated septum = crocked septum
Orbit
Eye socket
Lacrimial ducts = “tear”
Dry tears = early in the morning crusty
TMJ
Can dislocate
Can move the jaw foward,
Blow to the jaw can pop this out
Yawning too wide can do this
Have to pop the jaw back in place quickly
swelling in the joint, more than an hour = impossible to put jaw back in place till swelling goes down
Jaw line
In teeth loos, jaw line moves forward, chin protruding further and further
Sutrual Bones
Are just extra bones that form around sutures
