Lab Exam 2nd Half Flashcards
(125 cards)
cranium consists of..
(braincase)-everything but mandible
anterior (frontal) medial (temporal), and posterior fossa- different parts of brain actually sit in it. posterior cranial fossa (occipital).
Meninges (3 membranes) separate brain from bones
Consists of two parts: calvaria (skullcap dome top of skull) and cranial base (where everything sits). middle cranial fosssa. )meninges- seperate brain from surface of hard bone
Base is divided into three basins that comprise the cranial floor
Anterior cranial fossa: frontal lobe of the brain
Middle cranial fossa: temporal lobes of the brain deeper shaped like a pair of outstretched bird wingins
Posterior cranial fossa: cerebellum
fossa
Anterior cranial fossa: frontal lobe of the brain
Middle cranial fossa: temporal lobes of the brain deeper shaped like a pair of outstretched bird wingins
Posterior cranial fossa: cerebellum
cranial bones
1 frontal, 2 parietal, 2 temporal, 1 occipital, 1 sphenoid, 1 ethmoid
facial bones
2 maxillae 2 nasal bones
2 palatine bones 2 inferior nasal conchae
2 zygomatic bones 1 vomer
2 lacrimal bones 1 mandible
frontal bone
eyebrow bones, frontal sinus. Forms forehead and part of the roof of the cranium, Contains frontal sinus, from forehead to Coronal suture (cut anterior from posterior along crown of head right to left joining parietal bones forming almost all of anterior cranial fossa and roof of orbit). deep to orbit has suprorbital margin w/ supraorbital foamen allowing passage for nerve, artery and vein
pariental bones
Form most of cranial roof and part of its lateral walls. 2 major portion of actual cranium and lateral walls, Bordered by four sutures: sagittal, coronal, lamboid, squamous
parietal foramen occurs near corner of lambodi and sagittal sutures small vein from blood sinus. superior and inferior temporarl lines arc across pareetal and frontal bones for attachment of temporalis muscle
temporal bones
above and anterior to ear, lower wall and part of floor of cranial cavity. ear looks like triceratops lateral wall and part of floor of cranial cavity,
Four parts: squamous, tympanic, mastoid, and petrous
Squamosal suture
occipital bone
Rear and base of skull, inferior of skull and part of posterior part w/ 1st 2 cervical vertebrae connected and form Foramen magnum opening for spinal cord w/ dura mater attached, Lamdoidal suture (parietal bones) occipital condyles connected on atlas. impressions by large venous sinuses draining blood from brain branches into right and left arround occipital bone.
sphenoid bone
thick median body greater and lesser wings, anterior cranial fossa, half of middle cranial fossa lateral surface of cranium anterior to temporal bone. owl or bat right in middle of skull in cranial base.
ethmoid bone
looks like bird part of nasal cavity helps form part of nasal septum. anteriro cranial bone between eyes. medial wall of orbit, roof and walls of nasal cavity and septum. perpendicular plate- nasal septum lower is vomer w/ nasal fossae air spaces.
sutures of parietal bone
Sagittal (parietal and fusing w/ frontal sslitting right down middle) between two parietal bones
Coronal- cuts top of bone. anterior margin connecting to frontal.
Lambdoid-most posteriorly helped form sqamous
Squamous-trace a line around ear lateral where parietal bone stops along side of bone formed w/ squamosal suture of temporal
facial bones function
skull bones anterior to the cranial cavity (do not enclose brain). shape form of face muscles of facial expression, mastication and chewing food
Support teeth
Give shape to face
Form part of orbital and nasal cavities
Provide attachments for muscles of facial expression and mastication
facial bones
2 maxillae 2 nasal bones
2 palatine bones 2 inferior nasal conchae
2 zygomatic bones 1 vomer
2 lacrimal bones 1 mandible
maxilla bones
Largest facial bones
Forms upper jaw and meets at median intermaxillary suture
nasal cavity and orbit
alveolar processes grow into spaces between base of teeth. alveolus sockets for upper teeth
Forms inferomedial wall of orbit. infraorbital foramen, providing passage for blood vessel to face and nerve receiving sensation from nasal region and cheek.
Forms most of the hard palate seperating nasal and oral cavity, breathing while chewing. hard palate anteriorly (palatine processes horizontal extension), fleshy soft palate. incisive fossa? posteriorly
Maxillary sinus
palatine bones
L-shaped bones: horizontal and perpendicular plate (thin, delicate, irregularly shaped plate between nasal cavity and orbit). greater palatine foramen, nerve passage.
articulate w/ maxillae to Form posterior portion of the hard palate
Part of lateral nasal cavity wall
inferior portion of nasal cavity
Part of the orbital floor
zygomatic bones
Form angles of cheekbones and part of each lateral orbital wall
inverted T shape zygomaticofacial foramen intersection of stem and crossbar of T. nerve passes to supply skin on prominence of cheek. promienent zygomatic arch flares from each side of the skull formed by union.
form lower part of cheekbones and orbital cavity
lacrimal bones
Form part of medial wall of each orbit
Smallest bone of skull
nice groove lacrimal fossa housing lacrimal sac where tears collect and drain
nasal bones
Form bridge of nose
Support cartilages that shape lower portion of the nose
Often fractured
inferior nasal contrae-part of ethmoid bone
vomer
Inferior half of the nasal septum
w/ ethmoid bone Supports cartilage that forms anterior part of nasal septum
fuse w/ ethmoid bone to create septum
mandible
Strongest bone of skull
Provides attachments for muscles of expression and mastication
horizontal portion w/ teeth is body, vertical to oblique is ramus (condylar process w/ mdnibular condyle joining temportal bone forming temporomandibular joint, meeting at angle? joined by mental symphysis at chin
auditory ossicles
Three in each middle-ear cavity
Malleus (hammer), incus(leftover axe shape), and stapes (stirrup)
fontanelles
spaces between unfused cranial bones joined by fibrous membranes where intramembranous occurs later
Anterior, posterior, sphenoid (anterolateral), and mastoid (posterolateral) fontanels
Two frontal bones fuse by age 6 (metopic suture)
Skull approaches adult size by 8 or 9 years of age
hyoid
Does not articulate with any other bone, suspeneded from styloid process of skull w/ greater and lesser horns and the larynx suspended from it.
