Skull and Cranial Nerves Flashcards
how many bones form the skull
22 bones
Cranium is considered:
the skull minus the mandible
Neurocranium is made up of the
basicranium and cranial vault
Neurocranium does what
protects and encloses the brain
basicranium does what
surrounds the opening for the cranial nerves and major vessels to enter and exit the cranial cavity
the basicranium and cranial vault surround the
cranial cavity
viscerocranium forms the
facial region
viscerocranium encloses the
special senses and opening for the gut tube
the special senses openings are the
nasal cavity
orbit
oral cavity
The 3 types of bones in the skull
Cranial Base Bones
Intramembranous Bones
Pharyngeal Arch Bones
Cranial base bones form the
base of the basicranium and neurocranium
cranial base bones have _______ ossification
endochondrial ossification
Intramembranous bones for the
cranial vault, sides and facial bones
intramembranous bones have ______ ossification
intramembranous
Pharyngeal arch bones are derived from
cartilage or pharyngeal arches
pharyngeal arch bones form
small accessory bones of head
pharyngeal arch bones have ______ ossification
endochondrial ossification
the 5 Basicranium bones
Ethmoid
Sphenoid
Temoral (2)
Occipital
basicranium bones develop in or near the
midline of the head
in close association to
