Nurocranium 1-2 Flashcards
Cranial bones
Neurocranium • Frontal bone(1) • Parietal bones(2) • Occipital bone(1) • Tenporal bones(2) • Ethmoid bone(1) • Sphenoid bone(1) Visserocranium • Maxilla(2) • Mandible (1) • Vomer (1) • Palatin bones(2) • Lacrimal bones (2) • Nasal bones(2) • Inferior nasal conchae(2)
FRONTAL BONE
(OS FRONTALE) forms
the majority of forehead
roof of the orbit
floor of the ant. cranial fossa
Parts of frontal bone
- Squamous part
- Orbital part
- Nasal part
OS FRONTALE articulates with
Parietal Zygomatic Greater wing of sphenoid bone Maxilla Ethmoid Lacrimal Nasal
Suture that connects frontal bones Frontal bones and parietal bones Parietal bones Occipital bone and parietal bones
Metopic suture
Coronal suture
Saggital suture
Lamboidal suture
Ant fontanelle and post fontanelle
Between the parietal and frontal bones
Between the parietal and occipital bones
Physiologic closure time of the metopic suture is
over 6 years
External surface of Squamous part
•Frontal eminence (tuber)
•Superciliary arch
•Glabella
•Supraorbital margin
Supraorbital notch/foramen Frontal notch/foramen
•Zygomatic process/ temporal line & surface/ parietal margin
Internal surface of Squamous part
- Groove for superior sagittal sinus
- Frontal crest
- Foramen caecum
- cerebral ridges/ impressions of gyri
Orbital part Forms
the roof of the orbit
Parts of Orbital part
• Orbital surface -Fossa for lacrimal gland (lacrimal fossa) -Trochlear spine and fovea • Ethmoidal notch • Sphenoidal margin • Opening of frontal sinus
Nasal part Articulates with
nasal bones and
frontal process of the maxilla
Nasal part forms
root of the nose
Parts of Nasal part
Nasal spine
Nasion
Nasal margin
When ant fontanelle closes it forms
When post fontanelle closes it forms
Bregma
Lambda
