ANAT 150 Chapter 7 Lecture Notes Flashcards
Functions of the Skeleton System
- Protects organs (cranium of skull protects brain)
- Mineral storage (calcium & phosphate called hydroxyapatite)
- Body movements (in conjunction with muscular & nervous systems)
- Body support (blood cell production: erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes)
Axial Skeleton
Midline bones
Appendicular Skeleton
Bones off midline
What digits have no middle phalange bone?
Digit 1
What is the Os Coxa?
Hip bone (3 separate bones fuse in growth)
Neurocranium
Braincase, surrounds and protects brain
Viscerocranium
Facial bones, protect major sensory organs (eyes, nose, tongue)
_______ and _______ have alveolar processes and sockets for tooth attachment
Maxilla & mandible
Maxilla
Upper fixed bone of jaw
Mandible
Lower jaw bone, not part of skull but is attached & articulates to skull
What structure did we palpate in class and is below the ear?
Mastoid process
Name two bones that form the zygomatic arch
Zygomatic process & temporal process
What are the teeth and bones associated with them?
- Maxilla (upper jaw)
- Alveolar processes (where teeth are found in)
- Mandible (lower jaw)
What is the joint called that connects the jaw to the skull?
Temporal mandibular joint (TMJ)
What part of the skull does the styloid process belong to?
Temporal bone
What part of the skull does the styloid process belong to?
Styloid is in the temporal bone
Coronal Suture
Between frontal and two parietal bones
Sagittal Suture
Between right and left parietal bones
Lambdoid Stuture
Between the parietal bones and occipital bone
Squamous Suture
Between the parietal bones and temporal bone
What is the eyebrow ridge called?
Supraorbital margin
What is a hole (nerve) in the supraorbital margin called?
Supraorbital foramen
What are clefts in the orbital region of the skull called?
Superior orbital fissure
What is the hole on the maxilla (upper jaw) by the cheekbone called?
Infraorbital foramen
