Module 2 Random Recalls - Head and Neck Flashcards
Several separate bones united at immobile joints called ________. Except, _______ which is united to the skull by the mobile ___________.
Sutures, Mandible, TMJ
layer of spongy bone separating the external and internal tables of the skull
Diploë
Layers of the SCALP
S- Skin C- Connective Tissue Layer A- Aponeurosis L- Loose Connective Tissue P- Periosteum
__________ forms the roof and side walls of the cranial cavity; ________ is the lowest part of the cranium and forms the floor of the cranial cavity
Skull vault (calvarium); Base
2 divisions of cranium
Neurocranium/ cranial vault or calvaria Facial cranium/visceral cranium
NEUROCRANIUM • Composed of 8 bones
What are these bones? Classify if it’s paired or unpaired
PAIRED LATERAL BONES
• Temporal (2) from the side
• Parietal (2)
UNPAIRED MIDLINE BONES • Frontal (1) will fuse in the adult form that’s why it becomes one • Occipital (1) • Ethmoid (1) • Sphenoid (1)
FACIAL CRANIUM
Classify if it’s paired or unpaired
PAIRED BONES • Zygomatic • Maxillae • Nasal • Lacrimal • Palatine • Inferior conchae
UNPAIRED BONES
• Vomer
• Mandible
Diamoned-shaped
Closes at 18 months
Forms the bregma
Anterior fontanelle
Triangle-shaped
Forms the lambda
Posterior fontanelle
Identify the sutures responsible for:
- Frontal-parietal
- Parietal-parietal
- Parietal-occipital
- Coronal
- Sagittal
- Lambdoid
Articulations of the frontal bone
- Frontal processes of maxilla and with nasal bones (Medially)
- Zygomatic bone (Laterally)
Smooth part of forehead found between eyebrows
Glabella
Borders of the orbital margins are as follows:
- Frontal bone (superior)
- Maxilla (inferior)
- Zygomatic bone (lateral)
- Processes of maxilla and frontal bone (medial)
___________ are paired bones forming the bridge of the nose; nasal cavity is divided into two by _________
Nasal bones; nasal septum
Shelves of bone that projects into the nasal cavity from the ethmoid on each side
Superior and middle conchae
Upper jaw
Anterior part of hard palate
Part of lateral walls of nasal cavities
Part of the floors of orbital cavities
The following are structures formed by _________
Paired maxillae
Two maxillae meet in the midline at the ___________
Intermaxillary suture
Project downward in the maxilla and found at each side
Alveolar processes
Articulations of zygomatic bone (cheek bone) are:
Maxilla (medially)
Zygomatic processes of temporal bone (laterally)
Consists of horizontal body and two vertical rami, body and angle
Mandible (lower jaw)
Squamous, tympanic, mastoid process, styloid process, and zygomatic process
The following are parts of ___________
Temporal bone
The following bones complete the skull at the side
Squamous part of the occipital bone
Parts of the temporal bone
Greater wing of the sphenoid
Vertical opening that lies within the fossa between the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone and back of the maxilla
Pterygomaxillary fissure
Pterygopalatine fossa communicates with:
Infratemporal fossa through the pterygomaxillary fissure (laterally)
Nasal cavity through the sphenopalatine foramen (medially)
Cranial cavity through the foramen rotundum (superiorly)
Composition of Vertebral Column
Cervical - 7 Thoracic - 12 Lumbar - 5 Sacral- 5 (fuses in adult) Coccyx - 4 (fuses in adult)
Weak spot of the skull; where the anteroinferior corner of the parietal bone articulates with sphenoid, temporal, and frontal
Pterion
Roughened elevation at the midline of the occipital bone which gives attachment to muscles and the ligamentum nuchae
It has also lines which extent laterally toward the temporal bone on either side of the protuberance. What are these lines?
External occipital protuberance
Superior nuchae lines
Projects downward and forward from behind the ear
Mastoid process
Lies anterior and medial to the mastoid process and gives attachment to several muscles and ligaments
Styloid process
Atypical Vertebrae:
C1, C2, C7, T1, T10, T11, T12, L5
Formed by the medial end of the petrous part of temporal bone, basilar part of occipital bone, and greater wing of the sphenoid; only a few small structures pass through it
Foramen Lacerum
Formed by the deep notch of the petrous part of temporal bone and the shallower notch on occipital bone
Jugular Foramen
