Anatomy Block 5 Flashcards
flat bones of cranium formed
by intramembranous ossification
irregular bones of cranium formed
by endochondrial ossification
parts of cranium
viscerocranium and neurocranium
anterior cranial fossa
frontal bone - frontal crest, orbital part
ethmoid bone - crista galli, foramina and cribiform plate
sphenoid bone - lesser wing and anterior clinoid
middle cranial fossa
sphenoid bone - greater wing, foramen spinosum, foramen ovale, foramen rotundum, superior orbital fissure, foramen lacerum, dorsum sellae, prechiasmatic sulcus
temporal bone - trigeminal impression, arcuate eminence, groove/hiatus for greater petrosal n
posterior cranial fossa
temporal bone - internal acoustic meatus, jugular foramen, superior border of petrous part, groove for sigmoid sinus
occipital bone - clivus, jugular tubercle, hypoglossal canal, groove for inferior petrosal sinus, foramen magnum, internal occipital protuberance, internal occipital crest, groove for transverse sinus
carotid canal
internal carotid artery
stylomastoid foramen
CN7 facial nerve
foramen magnum
spinal cord, vertebral aa, roots accessory nerve (CN 11)
foramen ovale
CN 5 trigeminal mandibular division
foramen spinosum
middle meningeal artery
hypoglossal canal
CN12 hypoglossal n
jugular foramen
CN9 glossopharyngeal n, CN10 vagus n, CN11 accessory n, internal jugular v
hyoid
doesnt articulate other bones
important attachment for neck muscles
CN1
olfactory
special visceral afferent
olfaction/smell
exits cribiform plate
anosmia
loss of smell
naegleria fowler
brain eating amoeba
CN2
optic
special somatic afferent
exits optic canal
vision from retina
CN3
oculomotor
exits superior orbital fissure
general somatic efferent - extrinsic eye muscles
general visceral efferent - parasympathetic fibers to control pupil
CN4
trochlear
general somatic efferent
exits superior orbital fissure
innervates superior oblique
CN6
abducens
general somatic efferent
exits superior orbital fissure
innervates lateral rectus
CN5
trigeminal
ophthalmic - general somatic efferent, exits superior orbital fissure
maxillary - general somatic efferent, exits foramen rotundum
mandibular - exits foramen ovale, general somatic efferent and muscles of mastication
CN7
facial
special visceral efferent - muscles of fascial expression
general visceral efferent - parasympathetics to submandibular and sublingual salivary glands, lacrimal glands, nose and palantine glands
general somatic afferent - sense to external acoustic meatus
special visceral afferent - taste to anterior 2/3 of tongue
CN8
vestibulocochlear
special somatic afferent - orientation/balance and hearing
exits internal acoustic meatus
