2. squamosal (squamous)
3. sagittal
4. lambdoidal (lambdoid)
Definition
what are the 4 major sutures of the cranium?
Term
coronal suture
Definition
the suture where the frontal bone meets parietal bones
Term
squamosal (squamous) suture
Definition
suture between parietal and temporal bones
Term
sagittal suture
Definition
suture between parietal bones
Term
lambdoidal (lambdoid)suture
Definition
suture between parietal and occipital bones
Term
frontal bone
Definition
extends from orbit; roof of orbit; anterior cranial fossa--frontal lobe sit here
Term
sphenoid
Definition
a bat like bone
Term
atlanto-occipital joint
Definition
what is the joint called that is between the occipital bone and the atlas?
Term
condyloid
Definition
what kind of joint is the atlanto-occipital joint?
Term
sphenoid bone
Definition
this bone acts as a bridge uniting cranial and facial bones
Term
1. palatine processes of maxillae
2. horizontal plates of palantine bone (posterior)
Definition
what two bones make up the hard palate?
Term
1. medial pterygoid plate
2. pterygoid fossa
3. lateral pterygoid plate
Definition
what 3 things together make up the pterygoid process?
Term
crista galli
Definition
a process of ethmoid bone to which the falx cerebri attaches
Term
no it is its own separate bone
Definition
is the inferior nasal concha apart of the ethmoid bone?
Term
1. perpendicular plate of ethmoid
2. vomer bone
3. septal cartilage-- made of hyaline cartilage
Definition
what 3 things make up the nasal septum?
Term
superior/middle/inferior nasal concha
Definition
these three things help break up air flow; air swirls around in nasal cavity and helps warm up the air and humidify and remove dust particles before reaching delicate portions of the body
Term
vomer
Definition
inferior portion of nasal septum and articulates with the hard plate
Term
1. superior: frontal
2. posterior: sphenoid
3. floor: maxilla
4. lateral: zygomatic
5-7. medial: lacrimal, ethmoid, palatine bone
Definition
what seven bones make up the orbital and where are their positions in the orbital?
Term
nasal lacrimal duct--exits out of nasal cavity
Definition
debris in the eye in which lacrimal (tear) fluid cleans the eye when we blind, exits the debris through where?
Term
fontanel
Definition
large fibrous areas in sutures in the fetal and infant skull that allows for expansion of skull during childhood (reason for softness of skull)
Term
molding
Definition
when the skull of an infant changes when going out of the birthing canal (after a day it goes back to normal)
Term
age 4 (expansion of skull takes place mostly in the first 2 years of life)
Definition
when does fontanel disappear?
Term
maxillary sinus
Definition
the largest sinus in the skull; inferior to eyes
Term
1. extensions of nasal cavities
2. lightens skull bones
3. produces mucus
4. resonates during sound production
Definition
what are the 4 functions of the air filled chambers of the paranasal sinuses?
Term
ethmoid air cells (ethmoidal sinuses)
Definition
this sinus has several compartments separated by thin walls of bone
Term
1. frontal sinus (developed by age 6--some people don't have this)
2. ethmoid air cells (ethmoidal sinuses)
3. sphenoid sinus
4. maxillary sinus
Definition
what are the 4 paranasal sinuses?
Term
hyoid bone
Definition
the only bone not in direct contact with another bone (no articulation/joint)
Term

Definition
this bone is usually fractured during strangulation
Term
hyaline cartilage
Definition
what kind of cartilage is the septal cartilage?
