44
How is the Hyoid bone unique among bones of the body.
Does not articulate with any other bones. Held in place by muscles and ligaments.
45
Found very deep in the upper neck region, behind the mandible and the floor of the mouth.
Hyoid bone.
46
What is the Process of a bone?
A protrusion of bone that acts as an attachment point for muscles and/or ligaments.
47
What is a hole in a bone that allows passage of nerves, blood vessels and other structures called?
Foramen (pl. foramina)
48
Large hole in the occipital bone, allows passage for the spinal cord (and nerves and blood vessels).
foramen magnum
49
Chunky process behind the ear that serves as an attachment point for some very large muscles. Part of the temporal bone.
mastoid process
50
Sharp pointy process. Part of the temporal bone.
Styloid process

67
The cardiovascular system is made up of:
Heart and blood vessels
68
Veins carry blood...
from tissues to the heart (usually deoxygenated)
69
Arteries carry blood...
from the heart, to the tissues of the body (usually oxygenated)
70
After branching off the Aorta the arteries on the LHS and RHS have a difference. What is this?
LHS: Aorta -> Left Common Carotid Artery -> Internal Carotid Artery or External Carotid Artery RHS: Aorta -> brachiocephalic trunk -> Right Common Carotid Artery...(then same pattern as LHS)
71
Which arteries suppy the anterior brain?
LH and RH Internal carotid arteries.
72
Which arteries supply the posterior brain?
Vertebral arteries, which branch off the L and R subclavian arteries.
73
These branch off the L and R subclavian arteries
Vertebral arteries
74
How does origin of the L and R subclavian arteries differ?
On the L the subclavian artery branches off the aorta but R subclavian artery branches of the brachiocephalic trunk, which branches off the Aorta
75
Vertebral arteries branch off the subclavian artieries and then travel along the vertebral bones of the neck, before passing through the ______ _____ to supply the posterior brain.
Foramen Magnum
76
Most of the veins of the head and neck drain into 2 blood vessels. Which ones?
1. External Jugular Veins | 2. Internal Jugular Veins
77
Which blood vessel drains blood from superficial structures in the head and neck?
External jugular vein
78
Which blood vessel drains blood from the brain and deeper head and neck tissues?
Internal jugular vein
79
Blood from both Internal and External Jugular veins travels via the L and R brachiocephalic veins into the Superior Vena Cava and ultimately back to the heart. True or false?
True
80
What is the importance of the Anatomical Position?
To avoid ambiguities or confusion. All anatomical terminology is based on the assumption that the body is in the anatomical position.
81
Describe the anatomical position:
Standing on flat feet, toes pointing forwards, arms by the sides of the body with palms facing forwards, the head upright and eyes looking directly forwards. Alternatively, the body may be lying flat on the back, arms by the sides with toes, palms and eyes all directed upwards
