Development of the Skull Flashcards
(42 cards)
why is an understanding of facial growth needed
malocclusion
abnormal growth patterns
treatment plans
treatment stability
what are some primary cartilages
meckels cart
reichert’s cart
nasal capsule
what is the function of primary cart
primitive support to set out path for facial bone dev and nerve dev
what si the structure of primary carts
hyaline cart
interstitial growth
what si the fate of primary carts
ossify
disappear
what are the two parts for the skull
neurocranium - brain case
viscerocranium - facial skeleton
what are the parts of the neurocranum
dermatocranium - cranial vault
chondrocranium - cranial base
what are the parts of the viscerocranium
special sensory
masticatory
what does the craianl base largely form form
series of cart
what are the primary carts assc with base of skull
trabeculum - nasal capsule hypophyseal cart otic capsule parachordal carts occipital somites occipital cart orbitosphenoid alisphenoid
what are the bones of the cranial base
sphenoid occipialt temporal d- petrous ethmoid frontal
what is the ossification takes place at cranial base
endochondral ossification
where does dermal/membranous bones form
frontal
parietal
squamous temporal
occipital
what bones ossify by intramembranous ossifiction
ectomesenchyme - ant to coronal suture
mesenchyme - post to coronal suture
when does bone formation start
8 weeks for cranial vast
what is it called where bones meet
sutures
what are the common ways of skull growth
sutures
synchondroses
remodelling
secondary cartilages
what are the two growth pathways asscwith cranium
neural - age 10 full
somatic - growth spurts
what is sutural growth
growth due to expansion of underlying structures
what re the layers at a suture
osteoblasts
cambial
capsular
middle layer
what are the fontanelles
ant
anterolateral
posterolateral
posterior
when do the fontanelles close
ant - 6-18 months
anterolat- 6 months
postlat - 6-18moths
post - 1-3months
what is a synchondrosis
immovable cartilage joint
active growths site
what growth occurs at synchondrosis
intersistial growth
