Q

Temporal bones

A

Right/Left lateral bones of cranium

-complex structure with multiple markings

  • Made up of :
    - squamous part (anterior)
    - tympanic part (inferior to ear)
    - petrous part (posterior)
    - mastoid part (bulge behind ear)

25
Mandibular fossa
- structure of temporal bone - oval basin (fossa) on the inferior surface of zygomatic process - receives this ball condylar process of mandible
26
External Acoustic Meatus
- External ear canal | - part of tympanic part of temporal bone
27
Mastoid process
- Part of Temporel bone (can be felt- lump posterior to ear) - mastoid = breasts (somewhat resembles shape) - anchors neck muscles -
28
Jugular foramen
- posterior part of temporal bone (junction of occipital bone) - allows passage of the internal jugular vein and three cranial nerves - larger posterior foramen to carotid canal
29
Carotid canal
- Structure of Temporal bone - small 'hole' anterior to jugular foramen - transmits the internal carotid artery into cranial cavity
30
Foramen Lacerum
- Medially located Temporal bone structure - jagged opening (lacerum= torn/lacerated) - between the petrous temporal bone and the sepheniod bone
31
Occipital bone
- posterior cranial bone - foramen magnum "large hole" for spinal cord - occipital condyles articulate with the first vertebra of spinal column (allows nodding "yes" motion)
32
Sphenoid bone
- shaped like bat - complex structure with several bone markings - Keystone of the cranium: - forms a central wedge that articulates with all other cranial bones
33
Greater/Lesser wings of Sphenoid bone
Greater Wings: - larger superior wings that form: - middle cranial fossa - posterior walls of orbits - external wall of skull Lesser Wings: - form part of the floor of the anterior cranial fossa - form part of the medial walls of the orbits
34
Sella Turcica of Sphenoid bone
- superior surface of the body has saddle shaped prominence - hypophyseal fossa- seat of "saddle" holding Pituitary gland - meaning "Turks Saddle"
35
Sphenoid Sinus
-lies within the body of the Seohenoid bone
36
Sphenoid foramen
O ROS Optic canals- anterior/ above to Sella Turcica - allows Optic nerves to pass to eyes Rotundum-in the middle part of the greater wing and is usually oval despite name Ovale- A large oval foramen posterior/ below the foramen rotundum Foramen Spinosum- small holes posteriorlateral to the foramen ovale
37
Ethmoid bone
-Most deeply situated bone of skull Warms air intake with lots of surface area
38
Crista Galli
- projects superiorly from ethmoid bone | - pinnacle (rooster's head-gallo)
39
Cribriform plates
- forms superior surface of ethmoid | - paired horizontal plates form roof of nasal cavity and floor of anterior cranial fossa.
40
Perpendicular plate of ethmoid
- Divides nasal cavity into right and left halves | - medial vertical structure
41
Ethmoid sinus
- flanking perpendicular plate is a lateral mass: | - ethmoid air cells or ethmoid sinuses
42
Superior and Middle nasal conchae
- Shell shaped protrusions | - lateral to perpendicular plate
43
Fetal skull fontanelles
Fountanelles - fibrous connective tissue (soft spots) - develops into sutures - "little fountains" because surging pulse can be felt there Anterior Fontanelle- large diamond shape soft spot at top of baby's head Mastoid fontanelle- behind Temporal bone (becomes squamous/lambdoid suture) Sephenoid Fontanelle- between frontal, parietal and Temporel bones (becomes squamous / inferior coronal suture) Posterior Fontanelle- at junction of sagittal and lambdoid sutures
44
Facial bones (name all 8)
- Mandible - maxillae (maxillary bone) - zygomatic - palatine (pallet) - lacrimal - nasal bone - vomer - inferior nasal conchae
45
Mandible
Mandibular condyle: - articulation point between mandible and temporal bones - fits into mandibular fossa of temporal bone Coronoid process: - most vertical projection - interior part ramus Mental foramen- holes on jaw Mandibular foramen- inside of jaw
46
Maxillae
Keystone bones of the face; forms the upper jaw and parts of the hard pallet, orbits, and nasal cavity walls Articulates with all facial bones except mandible Infraorbital foramen- hones below eye socket Palatine process- roof of mouth Maxillary sinuses
47
Palatine
Forms posterior "hard palate" Contributes to the floor of the orbits
48
Zygomatic
Forms the cheeks and part of the orbits
49
Lacrimal
Forms part of the medial orbit walls
50
Nasal
Forms the bridge of nose
51
Vomer
Interior part of the nasal septum Vertical piece
52
Inferior nasal conchae
Forms part of the lateral walls of the nasal cavity
53
Hyoid bone
Only freestanding bone of the body Supports larynx attachment for muscles: - larynx - pharynx - tongue
54
The vertebral column
Spine- made up of 26 bones - sacrum - coccyx - flexible yet supports head and body - protects spinal cord
55
Typical vertebra
``` Body Laminae Pedicles Vertebral foramen Transverse processes Spinous process Superior and inferior articular processes Intravertebral foramina ```
56
Cervical
Atlas- articulates with the skull (C1) - no body or spinous process Axis- has a body (C2) - dens (knoblike vertical projection) allows head to rotate in "no" gesture. Dens (Odontoid process)- vertical point Transverse foramina- side holes (totals to 3)
57
Thoracic
Facets on transverse process for ribs
58
Sacrum
Alae (singular-ala) Median sacral crest Sacral foramina
59
Coccyx
4 fused vertebrae
60
Lumbar
Concave 5 vertebrae
61
Bony thorax
Thoracic cage Includes sternum and ribs
62
Strenum
Breastbone includes: - manubrium -top bone - body -Long vertical bone - xiphoid process - bottom Diamond shaped bone
63
Ribs
Head, neck, tubercles, coastal grooves True ribs: T1 – T7 False Ribs: T8 – T 12 Floating ribs T11 – 212
