Facial skeleton and skull
Is skull resonance?
Yes
Is facial skeleton articulation?
Yes
Resonance depends on what 3 things of the vocal tract?
Size, length, shape
Where does vocal tract begin?
Goes from top of true vocal folds where aire starts vibrating and out to end of lips and tip of nose
Mandible and hyoid bone are inferior structures for articulation?
Yes
For resonance track, cervical vertebra is posterior and cranial and facial bones are superior and anterior?
Yes
Are baby skulls fused at birth?
No
Why are baby skulls not fused at birth?
It allows for growth and childbirthing
What are the gaps in skulls called?

How many bones does the skull have?
8
Name 8 skull bones
Frontal lobe Parietal bone(2) Occipital bone Temporal bone(2)Ethmoid bone Ethmoid bone Sphenoid bone
Facts of Frontal bone……
Also known as squamous portion
Anterior of frontal bone forms eye socket
Frontal bone articulates with NASAL BONE
Coronal and Saggital suture is articulation with Parietal bone
Facts of Parietal bone
Forms mid portion of skull
Has SKULL CAP=skull head
Forms bulk of brain case
Located superiorly;anterior lay, posteriorly on skull
Facts of occipital bone……..
- Forms posterior and inferior skull
- Holds hearing…
- Forms roof of pharynx
- Articulates with atlas at top of cervical vertebrae
- Anteriorly occipital bone articulates with parietal bone
- inferiorly and laterally it articulates with temporal and sphenoid bone
- occipital contains for amen magnum
Facts about temporal bone…..
It is a paired bone
Cochlea and vestibular canals in temporal bone and middle ear cavities in temporal bone
Ridges in skull are sharp–shearing injuries….

5 parts……….
What are the names of 5 parts to temporal bone?
Zygomatic process Mastoid process Petrus portion Styloid process Squamous part
Zygomatic process…….
Check one
Crossed by inferior temporal line and temporal lobe of brain beneath it
Mastoid process………
- Behind ear—— lumpy, filled with mastoid aire cells
- mastoid aire cells and sinuses in facial and cranial spaces filled with aire— natures way of making head less heavy
- posterior belly of dicastricus attaches here
