WEEK 4 Flashcards
dorsal body cavities includes
cranial cavity
vertebral canal
ventral body cavity includes
thoracic cavity
abdominopelvic cavity
transverse thoracic plane extends across
sternomanubrial joint and 4th thoracic veretrbra
anterior end of a rib articulates with
costal cartilage
posterior end of a typical rib articulates with the
body and transverse process of a verterbra
costal margin is formed by the numbers
8, 9 and 10 costal cartilages
true ribs (1-7) articulate with
sternum via own costal cartilage
false ribs (8 - 10) articulate with
sternum via costal cartilage above
Where are Paranasal air sinuses found
Seen within pneumatic bones - help reduce weight of skull
What is Paranasal air sinuses lined by
Mucous membranes- humidifies inhaled air
Are Paranasal air sinuses resonating chambers
YES
3 groups of ethmoidal air sinus
Anterior
Middle
Posterior
4 paranasal air sinuses
Frontal air sinus , ethmoidal air sinus , maxillary air sinus , sphenoidal air sinus
Location of the maxiallry sinus
Seen within maxilla
Location of sphenoidal sinus
Seen within the sphenoid
Location of the frontal sinus
Seen within the frontal bone
Location of the ethmoidal sinus
Seen within the ethmoid
Communication of the maxiallry sinus
Opens into the nasal cavity through middle meatus
Communication of the frontal sinus
Opens int nasal cavity via spehnoethmoid recess
Communication of the sphenoidal sinus
Middle- open into middle meatus
Communication of the ethmoidal sinus
Anterior and Middle enter through the middle meatus. Posterior opens to nasal cavity through superior meatus
Is the inferior chonae an independent bone
yes
The anterior and middle ethmoidal sinuses open into the nasal cavity through the..
Middle meatus
The posterior ethmoidal sinus opens into the nasal cavity through the..
Superior meautus
The inferior meatus receives the opening of the
Nasolacrimal duct
