Skull Flashcards
Unpaired cranial bones
Frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones
Paired part of the cranial bones
Parietal and temporal bones
Unpaired facial bones
Vomer and mandible bones
Six Paired facial bones
Palatine, lacrimal, maxilla, nasal, inferior nasal concha and zygomatic bones
Point and articulation of frontal, parietal, temporal and great wing of sphenoid is called
Pterion
Gaping wound: Galea aponeurotica = infection: ?
Loose areolar connective tissue
Epidural / Extradural hematoma result from laceration of what artery?
Middle meningeal artery
Middle meningeal artery laceration usually results from what part of the skull?
Pterion
Skull fracture that may cause blood or CSF to escape from the ear. Results to hearing loss and facial nerve damage
Petrous portion of the Temporal bone - internal acoustic meatus. CN VII and CN VIII
Fracture of this skull fossa - results to anosmia, periorbital bruising/ raccoon eyes and CSF leakage from the nose and Rhinorrhea
Anterior Cranial Fossa fracture
Horizontal maxillae fracture that passes through the superior orbital fissures, ethmoid and nasal extending to greater wing of sphenoid; maxillae and zygomatic separated from cranium
Le Fort III
Horizontal maxillary fracture superior to the maxillary alveolar process
Le Fort I
Maxillary fracture that involves the posterolateral parts of maxillary sinus, central part of the face separated from cranium
Le Fort II
Layers of the SCALP:
Skin Connective tissue Aponeurosis (galea aponeurotica) Loose connective tissue Pericranium/Periosteum
Layer of the scalp: allows free movement of the scalp proper
Loose connective tissue
Layer of the scalp: tendinous sheet covering the calvaria
Galea aponeurotica
Layer of the scalp: emissary veins are found
Loose connective tissue
Craniosynostosis: premature closure of sagittal suture; frontal and occipital expansion; long and narrow skull
Scaphocephaly
Craniosynostosis: premature closure of coronal and lambdoid sutures on one side of the skull
Plagiocephaly
Craniosynostosis: premature closure of Coronal suture, short, high skull, TOWER sKull
Oxycephaly/Acrocephaly
Three primary brain vesicles
Forebrain/Prosencephalon
Midbrain/Mesencephalon
Hindbrain/Rhombencephalon
At 5th week of development: Prosencephalon divides into?
Telencephalon and Diencephalon
At 5th week of development: Rhombencephalon divides into?
Metencephalon and Myelencephalon
Telencephalon=Cerebrum then Diencephalon= ?
Thalamus
Pond, Cerebellum = Metencephalon then Medulla = ?
Myelencephalon
Midbrain is from what primary and secondary derivative?
Mesencephalon - no division
