(274 cards)
1
Q
What’re the 3 general functions of the skull?
A
- containment - brain, special senses (eyes, ears, olfaction 2. openings - nasal/ oral cavities 3. vocalisation - via paranasal sinuses
2
Q
How does the structure of the nasal cavity relate to its function?
A
The shelves of bone on the lateral walls of the nasal cavity are curled and complex. This increases the SA and turbulence. Along with this they are lined with a mucous membrane, and perfused by blood vessels close to the surface of the cavity. The result of this is the humidification and filtering of air as it passes through.

9
Q
What are the 5 ‘useful landmarks for ID of sutures’?

20
Q
A neonate has a much greater sized neurocranium relative to its viscerocranium. What 3 developments occur to bring this ratio to a more even level throughout the life of a human?

What SET of teeth are these? Why?
Deciduous teeth
Because the dental formular is now only 212 rather than 2123. There are no pre- molars and there are only 2 molars instead of the third that will appear with the "adult teeth" later.
