Q

what does the lateral wall of the ethmoid bone contain? (2)

23
Q

ethmoid articualtions (13)

A
  • nasal (2) - maxillae (2) - lacrimal (2) - palatine (2) - inferior nasal conchae (2) - vomer - frontal - sphenoid
24
Q

inferior nasal conchae

A
  • hollow bone that lies in the lateral wall of the nasal cavity - independent bone that arises from the maxilla - purpose: warm and humidy air - covered w/ mucus membrane that producesmucus in certain situations
25
Q

inferior nasal conchae articulations ( 4)

A
  • maxilla - palatine - lacrimal - ethmoid
26
Q

Vomer - shape, forms, and articulates (4)

A
  • thin, flat and unpaired midline facial bone - almost trapezoidal shape - forms posterior part of the nasal septum and separates posterior nasal cavity into right and left halves articualtions: - palatine - maxilla - ehtmoid - sphenoid
27
Q

palatine

A
  • paired - located in p. nasal cavity between maxilla and pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone - L shaped bone that form the hard palate of the bone - consists of a vertical and horizontal process
28
Q

horizontal processes

A

join the midline w/ a suture to form the roof of the mouth and articulates with the maxillary bones

29
Q

where do verticsl processes extend?

A

they extend superiorly into the orbit to form a small part of the orbit floor

30
Q

what does the maxilla form?

A

the upper jaw

31
Q

where do the two maxillae fuse?

A

intermaxillary suture

32
Q

from the anterior view what features of maxilla are visible (3)

A
  • frontal process: upward projection of maxila between lacrimal and nasal bone - orbital plate: anterior part of maxilla that contributes to the floor of the orbit - infra orbital foramen: exit for infraorbital n. and a.
33
Q

maxillary sinus

A
  • hollow space w/i maxillary bone - loacted above superior teeth and below the cheeckbone - largest of paranasal sinuses - located immediately inferior to the orbit
34
Q

orbital surface of maxilla is seperated by, contains, and is the weakest where?

A
  • separated from the sphenoid bone by the inferior orbital fissure - contains the infraorbital groove/sulcus that becomes the infraorbital canal and terminates on the facial surface as the infraorbital foramen - weakest along the infraorbital canal
35
Q

maxilla articulations

A
  • opposite maxilla - lateral wall of nasal cavity - ethmoid
36
Q

nasal articualtions (4)

A

frontal maxillae ethmoid opposite nasal

37
Q

lacrimal (p or up, size, location, makes up what?)

A

paired smallest bone of the skull located between frontal process of maxilla and orbital plate of ethmoid makes up part of the medail orbital wall

38
Q

posteror lacrimal crest

A

bony projection of the lacrimal bone that creates posterior boundary of the lacrimal fossa

39
Q

lacrimal fossa

A

depression formed by lacrimal grooves of the lacrimal and maxillary bones that houses the lacrimal sac

40
Q

lacrimal articualtions (3)

A

maxilla ethmoid frontal

41
Q

the zygomatic bone is also called the?

A

malar bone

42
Q

the zygomatic contributes to what?

A

the lateral wall and floor of the orbit

43
Q

zygomatic foramina (2)

A
  1. zygomaticofacial foramen: transmits zygomaticofacial n. (branch of zygomatic n. of V2) 2. zygomaticotemporal foramen: transmits the zygomaticotemporal n. (branch of zygomatic n. of V2)
44
Q

zygomatic articulations (4)

A

temporal maxillary sphenoid frontal

45
Q

mandible

A

single facial bone that forms lower jaw only freely movable bone and does not articulate w/ adjacent bones via suture

46
Q

where does the mandible articulate?

A

temporomandibular joint(TMJ) only articulates w/ temporal bone

47
Q

mandible external features (3)

A
  1. condylar process: bopny extrusion that forms lower bony compartment of the TMJ 2. mental foramen: opening that transmits the mental n. (branch of V3) – brings sensory to face 3. mental protruberance (eminence): landmark where two halves of mandible fused during development
