Prelab sauerland skull, superficial face, and scalp Flashcards
What 2 parts can the skull be divided into?
the cranium and the skeleton of the face or facial bones
how many bones are part of the skeleton of the face or facial bones?
14 bones
How many bones are there in the cranium?
8 bones
What does the cranium do?
lodges and protects the brain
In (blank) fractures, bones of the cranium and bones of the face undergo traumatic separation.
Le Fort fractuers
What are 2 complex and unpaired bones of the neurocranium?
sphenoid and ethmoid
So what are the 8 bones of the neurocranium?
frontal, 2 parietal, occipital, 2 temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid
What does the sphenoid bone look like?
a butterfly
What are all the facial bones?
2 nasal bones 2 maxillary bones 2 palantine bones 2 inferior nasal concha vomer 2 lacrimal bone 2 zygomatic bone mandible = 14 bones
What are the total number of bones in the skull (excluding the auditory ossicles)?
22
The maxillary bone (maxilla), zygomatic bone (malar bone), frontal bone, sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone, lacrimal bone all make up what?
the bones of the orbit
What is a le fort I and II fracture?
partial fracture of normally fused bones of the skull
What is a le fort III fracture?
complete dysjunction of normally fused bones of the skull
What is this:
wide variety of horizontal fractures of the maxilla, passing superior to the maxillary alveolar process (i.e superior to the roots of the upper teeth) crossing the bony nasal septum sometimes the pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone
Le Fort I fracture
What is this:
Passes from the posterolateral parts of the maxillary sinuses and then superomedially through infraorbital structures, the lacrimal bones, the ethmoid bone, and up to the bridge of the nose. As a result, the entire
pyramidal-shaped central part of the face, including the hard palate and the maxillary alveolar processes, is separated from the rest of the cranium.
