the skull Flashcards
tmj is what kind of jt
condyloid/synovial
how many bones in skull
22
neurocranium is howmany bones and protects
8 bones and protect the brain
what are the bones of the neurocranium
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, ethmoid, sphenoid
what are the pairs of bones in the neurocranium
parietal and temporal
how many bones is in the viscerocranium and makes up the
14 bones and bulk of the face
what bones make up the viscerocranium
nasal, lacrimal, vomer, inferior conchae, zygomatic bones, maxillae, palatine, mandible
what are the pairs of bones for the viscerocranium
nasal, lacrimal, inferior conchae, zygomatic bones, maxillae, palatine
viscerocranium surrounds the () and () openings
digestive and respiratory
what bones can you see from an anterior view (5)
frontal, nasal, maxilla, zygomatic, bones of orbit and nasal cavities mandible
sutures are generally named after
articulating bones
what are the anterior landmarks
frontal eminences, parietal eminences, superficial ciliary arches, glabella, nasion, anterior nasal spine
the frontal eminence is prominent in
men
the frontal eminence is () in women
rounded
acromegaly causes giants to get larger
frontal eminences
the frontal eminences represents the
primary center of ossification
what is the front eminences
forhead bumps like horns
what does the parietal eminences represent
primary ossification center
where do u find the parietal eminences
back of head
what are the superficial ciliary arches found
above eyebrows (cavemen)
what happens when u get hit in the superficial ciliary arches
loose ct so get blood under eye and get black eye
what is the glabella
where superficial ciliary arches meet above bridge of nose, means hairless
where is the nasion
under glabella
define nasion
point where internasal suture and frontal nsal suture meet
where do you find the anterior nasal spine
bottom of nasal opening where it protrudes a lil
what foramina do you see in the anterior view (5)
supraorbital notch, infraorbital foramen, anterior nasal apertures, zygomaticofacial foramen, mental foramen
what does the supraorbital foramen nerve supply
supraorbital nerve supplies foreahead
what does the infraorbital foramen nerve supply
like cheek area
what nerve supplies mouth and jaw
mental nerve
what nerve supplies the cheek bone
zygomaticofascial nerve branch of trigeminal
what passes through the mental foramen
mental nerve, artery, vein (branch of trigeminal)
coronal suture separates
frontal and parietal bones
what are the bones can be seen in the posterior view 3
parietal occipital (squamous portion) temporal (mastoid process)
sutures seen in posterior 3
sagittal lamboidal occipitomastoid
landmarks 4
lambda, parietal eminences, nucal liens, eop
another name for inion
external occipital protuberance
foramina in posterior view
parietal
what goes through the parietal foramina
emmesary veins (variable in number)
what does the emmesary veins connect
external and internal veins of the skull connects the inner to outer
what could happen clinically with emmesary veins
you could get an infection from scalp into brain and get meningitis
what is the end of the inion called
external occipital crest
what is the tip of eop called
inion
what is the lambda
where saggital and lambdoid suture meet
what is lambda a former site of
posterior fontanelle canal
what is the posterior fontanelle canal in babies
soft spot in babies
what does parts of skull first start off as
mesenchymal membrane
whats the highest point on skull called
vertex
what does the lambdoid suture separate
parietal and occipital bone
what bones can you see from a lateral view 9
frontal, nasal maxilla zygomatic mandible sphenoid parietal temporal occipital
landmarks lateral view 9
anterior nasal spine, frontal eminences, parietal eminences, pterion, asterion, superior and inferior temporal lines, zygomatic arches, infratemporal crest, vertex
foramina lateral view 5
zygomaticofacial foramina, zygomaticotemporal foramina, pterygomaxillary fissure, inferior orbital fissure, external auditory meatus
what is the former site of the posteriorlateral fontanelle
asterion
what 3 bones make up the asterion
parietal, occipital, temporal
why called squamous suture
cause borders the squamous portion of temporal bone
what does squamous mean
flat
what occupies the temporal fossa
temporalis muscle
what makes the temporal fossa
superior and inferior temporal lines
what is the pterion (bones that make it)
the frontal, parietal temporal, sphenoid
what is the pterion a former site of
soft spot anteriorlateral fontanelle
what is the clinical significance of the pterion
thin bone so fx easy, rupture middle meningeal artery and get epidural hematoma
what is a epidural hematoma
when dura mater separates from periosteum
what happens if you fx the pterion on the left side
you hit brocas area and get motor aphasia
what is motor aphasia
inability to speek
what is the center for motor speech
brocas area
where do u find brocas area
found on left/dominant hemisphere
what is the little bump from a lateral view inferior nose
anterior nasal spine
what is an extra bone in skull called
wormian bone/ sutural bone
why get extra bone
failure of sutures fusing , find in lambda too
what bones can u superior view
frontal parietal occipital
what sutures do u see superior view
coronal sagittal lambdoidal
landmarks of superior view
bregma lambda frontal and parietal eminences
what foramina see in superior view
parietal foramina
what is the bones in the inferior/basal view anterior part
maxilla, palatine zygomatic
what sutures see in inferior/basal view anterior part
cruciform
what is the cruciform a combo of
intermaxillary, palatomaxillary and interpalatine sutures
what landmarks seen in inferior/basal view anterior part 4
incisive fossa, alveolar arch, posterior nasal spine, maxillary tuberosity
3 foramina seen inferior/basal view anterior part
incisive foramina- located in the incisive fosasa
greater and lesser palatine foramina
