OCMM midline Bones Flashcards
cranial base is composed of the unpaired bones:
sphenoid and occiput
unpaired facial bones
ethmoid, mandible, vomer and frontal
paired bones of the cranial vault
parietal, tmeporal, squamous temporal and frontal
facial paired bones
inferior nasal concha, lacrimal, maxilla, nasal, palatine, zygoma
motion of midline bones
usually rotate about a trasverse axis in an anterior/posterior direct
even when it is labeled a flexion/extension
motion of paired bones
usually move about an AP axis in a alteral motion (coronal plane)
external rotation or internal rotation
motion of the SBS in flexion
sphenodi rotates about a transverse axis so that the wings move anteriorly
SBS movfes superior
occiput rotates along a transverse axis and moves posterior and inferior
four components of the ethmoid
cribiform plate
perpendicular plate
two lateral masses
describe flexion of the ethmoid
perpendicular plate is roatated by the sphenoid about its transverse axis
swings he crista galli SUPERIORLY AND POSTERIORLY
effects of external rotation of the maxillae on the ethmoid
lateral masses expand inferiorly
describe extension of the ethmoid
crista galli moves inferior and anterior along its transverse axis
effects of internal rotation on the ethmoid
lateral masses compress inferiorly
what drives the vomer
sphenoid
vomer in flexion
wide flat palate
depresses the hard palate, flattening the roof of the mouth
vomer in extension
narrow tall palate
ascends to allow premaxillae to externally rotate
when the SBS is in flexion, the
ethmoide will mvoe in the same direction as the _____
vomer will move in the same direction as the _____
ethmoid and occiput
vomer and sphenoid
vowels move together, consonants move together
in flexion, what happens to the palatine bones
follows the maxillae into external rotation and
PALATE FLATTENS
in extension, what happens to the palatine bones
follows the maxillae into internal rotation and PALATE RISES
