18
Q

What do parietal bones articualte with inferiorly

A

Temporal bones

19
Q

Foramen for Emissary Vein

A

near sagittal border

20
Q

What are intrasutural bones

A

rare, called “inca bones” b/c prominent in Inca iIndieanns

21
Q

Which bone contains the FORAMEN MAGNUM

A

Occipital Bone

22
Q

What does Occipital bone articulate with anteriorally and laterally

A

Mastoid and petrous parts of temporal bones

23
Q

What does Occipital bone articualte with Anterioly

A

Sphenoid bone at the midlein

24
Q

What does Occipital bone articualte with infeirorly

A

Superior articular facets of the atlas vertebra via teh occipital condyles forming ATLANTOOCCIPITAL JOINTS

25
Q

What three cranial nerves come out of jugular foramen

A

Vagus N
Glossopharyngeal N
Accessory N

26
Q

What are the foramina from anterior to posterior on inferior skull

A

Open Some Canned Jugs Hun

Foramen Ovale
Foramen Spinosum
Carotid Canal
Jugular Canal
Hypoglaossal Canal
27
Q

Which bone is the “yes” bone?

A

Atlas!!!

Its articulation with teh Occipital COndyle allows one to say yes

28
Q

What is the No Bone

A

2nd Cervical Vertebrae

Atlas rotates on dens of 2nd vertical vertebrae (axis)

29
Q

What is Diploe

A

Cancellous bone of the skull

Where CSF is circulated around brain and recycled trhough Arachnoid Granulations

30
Q

What is the Sulcus for Superior Sagittal Sinus

A

Characteristic fo vein with endothelial-like structures
Formed by reflection of meninges that surrounds brain

Major stucture draining blood from brain

Brings blood from brain and Ends up draining into IJV –> Jugualr forament

31
Q

WHat can be torn when you fracture the BASE OF THE SKULL

A

the Meninges! B/c DUra is very adherant to base of skull, allows CSF to escape to various places in skull

Commonly through ears and nasal cavities

32
Q

What is the Sigmoid Sulcus

A

Big dura venous drainage structures for brain

Internal/External Connection

33
Q

What do surgeons need to break through in order to get to Pituitary gland?

A

Hypophyseal Fossa

34
Q

What doe sthe Anterior Cranial Fossae consist of

A

Frontal lobs of brain
Olfactory bulbs and trats
Cribiform foramina

35
Q

What is in Middle Fossa

A

Butterfly

Temporal lobes fo brain
Pituitary gland
Foramina Rotundum
Foramina Ovale
Foramina Spinosum
Superior Orbital Fissures
Optic Canals
36
Q

What is in the Posterior Cranial Fossa

A
Midbrain
Pons
Meduall of brain stem
Cerebellum
Foramen magnum
Jugular foramen
Internal Acoustic Meatus Hypoglossal Canal

Condylar Canal and Mastoid Foramen Des

37
Q

Describe what kind of bone Fontalles

A

Ossified
Developing bones will slide on each other
Humans can barely amke it thorugh birth canal

Areas in calvaia of new born infants where sutures do not meet and there is a gap between teh bones closed with mabranous tissue has not yet ossififed

38
Q

Bregma

A

Anterior Fontanelle

future site of Bregma

39
Q

Lambda

A

Posterior Fontanelle, future site of lamba
