which of the following structures provides attachment to falx cerebri?
cribiform plate crista galli lesser wing of sphenoid greater wing of sphenoid corpus collosum
crista galli
the viscerocranium aka
facial skeleton
the viscerocranium consists of 15 _ bones
irregular
3 irregular single bones centered on or lying in the midline
mandible
ethmoid
vomer
the 6 irregular bones occurring as bilateral pairs
maxillae, inferior nasal conchae, zygomatic, palatine, nasal, and lacrimal bones
name the 4 pneumatized bones (that contain air spaces to decrease their weight)
frontal, temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid
the __ bone is exceedingly light and spongy, with cubic shape, situated at the anterior part of the base of the cranium between the 2 orbits at the roof of the nose, and contributes to each of those cavities
ethmoid bone
the ethmoid bone consists of 4 parts: the horizontal part is aka
cribriform plate - forming part of the base of the cranium
the ethmoid bone consists of 4 parts: the perpendicular plate constitutes part of the
nasal septum
the ethmoid bone consists of 4 parts: the two lateral masses aka
labyrinths
Projecting upward from the middle line of the cribriform plate is a thick, smooth, triangular process, the crista galli. The long thin posterior border of the crista galli serves for the attachment of the __.
falx cerebri
the cribriform plate contains many _ foramina
oflacatory (olfactory nerves pass thru these foramina)
damage to the cribriform plate results in a loss of
sense of smell
the ___plate of the ethmoid bone has the cristal galli
perpendicular
the __ plate of the ethmoid bone is the cribiform plate
horizontal
the lateral masses (right and left) of the ethmoid bone project down from the cribriform plate. They contain the __ and the __
ethmoid sinuses and the orbital plate of the ethmoid bone (lamina papyracea)
the lamina papyracea forms the paper thin ___ wall of the orbit
medial
each ethmoid sinus is divided into _ air cells
anterior, middle, and posterior
the hypophyseal fossa is located in a depression in the body of the_ bone
sphenoid
the hypophyseal fossa is located in a depression in the body of the sphenoid bone houses what structure
pituitary
the sphenoid bone is at the base of the skull in front of the temporal and basilar part of the occipital bone. It is divided into the median portion called the __, two __ and two ___ wings extending outward from the sides of the body and _ two __ processes that project from the bone below
body,
2 great
2 small wings
2 pterygoid processes
the __body of the sphenoid contains the sella turcica: which houses the pituitary gland and the ___
hollow
sphenoidal sinuses
the greater wings of the sphenoid help to form the ___ of the orbit
lateral wall of the orbit
