Mandible, Orbits, and Sinuses Flashcards
The curved horizontal portion of the mandible is the
Body
What is the largest moveable bone of the face
Mandible
The vertical portion of the mandible is the
Rami
The junction of the body and the ramus is the
Angle of mandible/gonion
The bump on the tip of the chin is termed the
Mental protuberance
The junction of the right and left halves of the mandible is the
Symphysis
The roots of the teeth are supports by this
Alveolar process
Nerves and blood vessels travel through this hole located on each side of the body of the mandible
Mental foramina
The anterior portion of the ramus is the
Coronoid process
The posterior portion of the ramus that articulates with the mandibular fossa is called the
Condylar process
Where is the mandibular notch located
Top of ramus between coronoid and condylar process
How many sinuses are there
4
What is within the normal sinus
Air
What are the 3 functions of the sinuses
⚫️warm and moisten inhaled air
◾️decrease weight of skull
⚫️provide resonating chamber for voice
These sinuses are cloud shaped and located over the midline
Frontal sinuses
The largest sinuses are the
Maxillary
The 2nd largest sinuses are the
Frontal
Which sinuses are located between the orbits
Ethmoid
These sinuses are triangular shaped
Maxillary
The maxillary sinuses are located on either side of the
Nose
The sphenoid sinuses are directly under the
Sella turcia
