Test Number 4 Material Flashcards
What are the bones of the Neurocranum?
Frontal (1) Parietal (2) Temporal (2) Occiptial (1) Sphenoid (1) Ethmoid (1)
What connects the bones together?
Fibrous interlocking sutures
What are the two bounding parts of the cranial vault?
Calvaria (Skullcap)- made up of the frontal bone, occipital and parietal bones
Basicranium (cranial Base)- Floor of the crannium, formed by the Occipital, sphenoid, temporal, vomer, palatine, portion of the maxillae
What are the functions of the cranial bones?
- Inner surfaces attach to membranes that stabalize positions
- Outer surfaces: large areas for attachement
- Facial bones: provide framework for the face and protect/support blood vessels and nerves
How many Cranial bones and Facial bones
8 Cranial, 14 Facial
Frontal Bone Characteristics
Forms forehead, creates supraorbital margin and frontal sinus
“Black Eye” Accumulation of fluid and blood in the upper eyelid
What are the Trigeminal Nerve Foramina
Superior Orbital Fissue V1
Foramen Rotundum V2
Foramen Ovale V3
What structure holds the pituitary gland?
Sella Turcica
What are the three parts of the Sella Turcica?
Tuberculum Sellae- Anterior Ridge
Hypophyseal Fossa: Central Depression
Dorsum sellae: Posterior ridge
What is one of the functions of the superior and middle nasal conchae? (AKA Turbinates)
- Superior: Participates in sense of smell (Olfactory receptors)
- Increase vascular surfaceL warms air
- Causes inhaled air to swirl and impact mucus: Filters air
What action of the ethmoid is similar to?
Cyclone Air Filter
Describe the maxillae and mandible
Maxillae: Skeleton of upper jaw, fixed to cranial base
Mandible: Forms the lower jaw, articulates with cranial base and TMJ
What do the lacrimal bones house?
Lacrimal foss houses the lacrimal sac
What is the functon of the inferior nasal concha?
same as the Superior Conchae, but not involved in the sense of smell
What are the 7 bones that form the eye sockets?
Maxillary- Many Frontal- Friendly Zygomatic- Zebras Ethmoid- Enjoy Lacrimal- Lazy Sphenoid- Summer Palatine- Picnics
What bones of the orbit form the Roof? Lateral Wall? Floor? Medial Wall?
Roof- Frontal/Sphenoid
Lateral Wall- Zygomatic/Spenoid
Floor- Maxilla, Zygomatic, Palatine
Medial Wall- Maxilla, lacrimal, ethmoid, sphenoid
What structures pass through the Magnum Foramen?
Medulla Oblongata (its membranes) cranial nerve XI accessory, vertebral and spinal arteries
What structures pass through the Mandibular?
Inferior Alveolar nerve and blood vessels
What structures pass through the Mental (chin)?
Mental Nerve and Vessels
What structures pass through the Olfactory Foramen?
Cranial Nerve (1) Olfactory
Structures that pass Optic Foramen
Cranial Nerve (2) Optic and Ophthalmic artery
Structures pass the Ovale
Mandibular branch of the cranial nerve (5) Trigeminal
Structures pass through the Rotundum
Maxillary Branch of Cranial Nerve V (Trigeminal)
Structure of the Stylomastoid
Cranial Nerve 7 (Facial) and stylomastoid
What are the four sutures of the skull?
Coronal, Sagittal, Lambdoidal and squamous
Define Fontanels
Dense Connective tissue membrane-filled space between the cranial bones of fetuses and infants. Remain unossified at birth until childhood
What are the four major fontanels?
Anterior, Posterior, Anterolaterals, Posterolaterals
What are the two major functions of fontanels?
Enable fetal skull to modify its size and shape as it passes through the birth canal.
Permit rapid growth of the brain during infancy
What are the paranasal sinuses?
Cavities in bones of the skull that communicate with the nasal cavity
What is the purpose of the paranasal sinus?
-Lighten the skull and are sound resonating chambers
What cranial bones make up the sinuses?
Frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, and maxillae.
What muscles move the Mandible?
Masseter, temporalis, & pterygoids
What Cranial nerve provides the mandible?
Cranial Nerve V
What does the Lateral Pterygoid do?
Protracts mandible
Depresses the mandible
- Only one of four muscles of mastication to depress the mandible
What does the medial pterygoid do?
Elevates and protracts mandible
What are the 4 extrinsic muscles of the tongue and where they arise?
Genioglossus- From inside tip of mandible
Styloglossus- From styloid process
Palatoglossus- From hard palate
Hypoglossus- from hyoid bone
