what is a sinus?
An air-filled space in a bone
What is the skull composed of…
Cranial and Facial bones
What are cranial bones
they enclose the brain. most of the bones are rigidly joined by sutures
What are facial bones?
lie anterior to cranial cavity, form and shape the face, support orbital, nasal and oral cavities. also provided attachment to facial muscles
What are the cavities of the skull?
Cranial cavity: houses the brain, Orbits: contains the eyes, Nasal cavity: nose, Paranasal sinuses, Oral cavity: mouth and buccal cavity, and Middle and inner-ear cavities
What are the paranasal sinuses?
Frontal, ethmoidal, sphenoidal, and maxillary. They are connected with the nasal cavity, lined by mucus membranes, and filled with air.
what are the four different kinds of sutures?
Coronal suture, sagittal suture, lambdoid suture, and squamous suture
What is the Coronal suture:
Between parietal bones and frontal bone
What is the Sagittal suture:
Between right and left parietal bones
What is the Lambdoid suture:
Between parietal bones and occipital bone
What is the squamous suture:
Between the parietal and temporal bones on each side of the skull
What is the cranium?
is the braincase
What is a frontal bone?
extends from the forehead to the coronal suture
What is a parietal bone?
forms most of the cranial roof and part of its walls, bordered by sagittal, coronal, lambdoid, and squamous sutures
What is a temporal bone?
Forms lower wall and part of cranial floor
what is the Petrous part?
A thick part of the temporal bone that separates the middle and posterior cranial fossae and houses the middle and inner ear.
What is a internal acoustic meatus?
A canal in the temporal bone that allows nerves for hearing and balance to pass from the inner ear toward the brain.
what is the occipital bone?
forms rear and much of skull base
what is the sphenoid bone?
Centrally positioned; contacts every other cranial bone
what is the ethmoid bone?
anterior cranial bone positioned between eyes
Foramen Magnum:
Opening where spinal cord meets brain. Located in the occipital bone at the base of the skull.
Occipital condyle:
smooth knob like structure on either side of the foramen magnum, where the skull rests on the vertebral column. Articulates with the atlas C1. Enables you to nod yes
Dura Mater:
is the outer layer of meninges and lies loosely against or firmly attached to the inside of cranium
Calvaria or skullcap
dome of the top of the head
Cranial fossae:
depressions on cranial floor. Includes anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae
Sphenoid bone:
has a pair of sphenoidal sinuses and has a saddle-like surface called the sella turcica. also called a keystone bone because it articulates with all other cranial bones.
Sella Turcica:
Consists of deep pit called the hypophyseal fossa, which houses the pituitary gland (hypophysis)
Ethmoid bone:
is an anterior cranial bone located between the eyes.
vertical perpendicular plate:
thin median plate that forms the superior two-thirds of the nasal septum
Nasal fossae
septum divides the nasal cavity into right and left air spaces
Horizontal cribriform plate;
forms roof of nasal cavity. has a median plate called the crista galli.
Crista galli
Attachment point for the dura mater
Maxillae:
forms upper jaw
Palatine:
Forms posterior part of hard palate. each have a L shape formed by a horizontal and perpendicular plate. The horizontal plates form the posterior 1/3 of the hard palate, which separates the oral and nasal cavities.
Zygomatic:
Cheekbones
Lacrimal:
Medial part of orbit
Nasal:
bridge of nose, the nasal septum formed by vomer (inferior 1/3) and ethmoid bone (superior 2/3)
Inferior nasal conchae:
wall of nasal cavity
Vomer:
Part of nasal septum
Mandible:
Lower jaw, has the point of the chin, mental protuberance
closely associated with the skull but not part of:
Auditory ossicles in the middle ear cavity (malleus, incus, stapes), hyoid bone
Hyoid bone:
Single U-shaped bone between chin and larynx. Does not articulate with any other bone.
Vertebral column:
chain of 33 vertebrae with fibrocartilaginous intervertebral discs between most of them.
Vertebrae: Call The Lamb So Cute
Cervical 7, thoracic 12, lumbar 5, sacral 5, and coccygeal 3
Functions of the vertebral column:
Supports skull and trunk, allows movement, protects spinal cord, absorbs stress from walking, running, and lifting, provides attachment for limbs, thoracic cage, and postural muscles
Body (centrum)
largest, weight-bearing portion
Vertebral arch composed of….
pedicles and laminae
Arch and body enclose the…
vertebral foramen
stacked vertebrae enclose the…
vertebral canal, a passage for the spinal cord
inferior and superior vertebral notches form…
intervertebral foramen when vertebral articulate
Intervertebral foramen allows passage for _______ ________ that connect the spinal cord at regular intervals
Spinal nerves
Spinous process:
projects posteriorly, pointed angle downward
transverse processes:
extend laterally in transverse plane
Superior articular processes project upward to articulate with……
Inferior articular processes of vertebra above it; each articular process has a facet
#_____ thoracic vertebrae (T1-T__) corespond to the ___ pairs of ribs attached to them
12
