Test 1 Flashcards
With which other bones do the Parietal Bones articulate? a
With frontal bone anteriorly at coronal suture and with occiput posteriorly at lamdoid suture. And with 2 temporal bones inferiorly at squamosal sutures plus small articulation with tips of greater wings of the sphenoid at the pterions.
Where is the Coronal Suture?
Between the frontal bone and 2 two parietals.
Where is the Metopic Suture
On the frontal bone and is where there was previously a space between the two sides of the frontal bone present at birth which fuses by the age of approx 8 years.
What 3 characteristics do you first look for when tuning into a Cranio-Sacral System?
Quality, Symmetry and Motion
Where is the Jugular Foramen and which 2 bones form it?
Two foramina in the base of the skull, anterior and laterally to the foramen magnum, one on each side formed between the occiput and the temporal bones.
What is the most significant factor required as a practitioner, in order to establish effective engagement?
Your quiet, calm, still presence.
Name the 4 Portions of the occiput?
Squamous portion, 2 x Condylar Portions, Basilar Portions.
What are the Clinoid Processes and what attaches to them?
Four bony attachements located in the body of the sphenoid. Four of them (2 anterior and 2 posterior) sit on the Tertia-Sellae and the Tentorium attaches to them.
Where is the Spheno-Basilar Synchondrosis located?
Between the body of the Sphenoid and the basilar portion of the Occiput, anterior to the Foramen Magnum
To which bones does the Tentorium Cerebelli attach?
Sphenoid at the clinoid processes, petrous portion of the temporal bone, internal occipital protuberance, parietal bones.
To which bones do the Falx Cerebri attach?
Ethmoid at Crista Galli, frontal, parietal and occiput
Where is the Straight Sinus?
Passes along the border between the falx cerebri, falx cerebelli and tentorium cerebelli
How is Cerebral Spinal Fluid produced?
Filtered from arterial blood in the chloroid plexi.
Where is Cerebral Spinal Fluid mainly located?
Central canal of spinal cord, Subarachnoid space, ventricular system.
Give the approximate rate of the Cranio Sacral Rhythm?
Complete cycle of expansion and contraction is 5-10 seconds.
