Skull, Face, And Throat (5B) Flashcards
1
Q
Cranium
A
- roof of skull
- base
2
Q
Roof of skull
A
- frontal
- occipital
- parietal (2)
3
Q
Base of skull
A
- temporal (2)
- ethmoid
- sphenoid
4
Q
Face
A
- portions of eye socket
- nose
- cheek bones
- jaw bones
- visible from inferior view
5
Q
Portions of eye socket
A
- lacrimal (2)
lacrimal glands = tear ducts
6
Q
Nose
A
- nasal bone
- nasal concha
- vomer
7
Q
Cheek bones
A
- zygomatic (2)
- maxilla
8
Q
Jaw bone
A
- mandible
9
Q
Visible from inferior view
A
- palatine (connects maxilla to vomer)
10
Q
Mastoid process
A
Distal attachment point for sternocleidomastoid
11
Q
Temporal-mandibular joint (TMJ)
A
- synovial joint
- not many synovial joints in the skull, face area
- keeps us alive (feeding, communication)
12
Q
Zygomatic arch
A
Attachment point for important muscles in TMJ
13
Q
External occipital protuberance
A
Posterior muscles
14
Q
Muscles of mastication and speech
A
- masseter
- temporalis
- pterygoids
- lateral pterygoid
- medial pterygoid
15
Q
Attachments of masseter
A
- workhorse
- proximal = zygomatic arch
- distal = mandible
16
Q
Innervation of masseter
A
Trigeminal nerve (CN V)
17
Q
Actions of masseter
A
- elevates mandible (closes mouth)
18
Q
Attachments of temporalis
A
- proximal = temporal bone
- distal = mandible
19
Q
Innervation of temporalis
A
Trigeminal nerve (CN V)
20
Q
Actions of temporalis
A
- elevates mandible
- retracts mandible (brings it back)
21
Q
Pterygoids
A
Helps us grind food (move mandible side to side)
22
Q
Attachments of lateral pterygoid
A
- proximal = sphenoid bone
- distal = TMJ (external mandible)
23
Q
Innervation of lateral pterygoid
A
Trigeminal nerve (CN V)
