1 The Skeletal System Focus on the Skull

2 Review Anatomical Terms
Anterior/Posterior Dorsal/Ventral Medial/Lateral Superior/Inferior

3 Axial Skeleton Includes bones of the skull, vertebral column and thoracic cage Creates a framework of support and protection for internal organs Provides sites of attachment of muscles

4 The Skull Protects the brain and supports delicate sense organs
8 cranial bones 14 facial bones 6 auditory ossicles (tiny bones in the ears) Hyoid bone

5 Bones of the Cranium Frontal bone (1)- forms the forehead and roof of the ocular orbits Parietal Bone (2) – posterior to the frontal bone; forms the sides and roof of skull Occiptal Bone (1) – posterior and inferior portions of the skull; foramen magnum Temporal Bone (2) – form the sides and base of the skull; a number of distinct anatomical landmarks

6 Bones of the Cranium – Lateral View

10 Sutures of the Cranium Sagittal Suture – extends along the midline of the cranium; between parietal bones Coronal Suture – between frontal bone and parietal bones Lambdoid Suture – between occipital and parietal bones Squamous Suture– between the temporal bones and the parietal bones

11 Sutures of the Cranium – Lateral View

14 The skull at birth

15 Bones of the Cranium continued
Sphenoid Bone–forms the floor of the skull and braces side of skull; acts like a bridge between cranial and facial bones Ethmoid Bone – anterior to the sphenoid; stabilizes the brain; forms the roof and sides of the nasal cavity Vomer – forms the inferior portion of the nasal septum Palatine Bone – forms the posterior hard palate (“roof of mouth”); contributes to the walls of the nasal cavity and the floor of each orbit

20 Bones of the Face Maxilla (2) – articulates with all other facial bones except the mandible; forms part of the orbit, walls of nasal cavity and anterior roof of mouth Zygomatic Bones (2) – articulates with the frontal bone and the maxilla; completes lateral orbit of eye Nasal Bones– bridge of nose; articulate with frontal bone and maxilla Lacrimal Bones– with the orbit; medial surface Mandible – lower jaw

24 Teeth (32) Incisors - 8 Canines - 4 Pre-molars - 8 Molars - 12

25 Processes any elevation or projection
Can be part of a joint or a site of attachment for muscles, ligaments and tendons

26 Processes of the cranium
Styloid process (temporal) Mastoid process (temporal) Coronoid process (mandible) Condylar process (mandible) Mandibular process (mandible) Occipital condyle (occipital) Zygomatic process (zygomatic) External occipital protuberance (occipital) Pterygoid process (sphenoid) Hamulus of the pterygoid process (sphenoid)

27 Styloid Process Pointed piece of bone that extends down from the temporal bone just below the ear Attachment for ligaments that support the hyoid bone and muscles that control the tongue and pharynx

28 Mastoid Process Built up area of the lower temporal bone where important neck muscles attach Site of attachment for muscle that rotates and elevates the head and clavicle

29 Coronoid Process “like a crown”
Attachment point for muscle that closes the jaw

30 Condylar Process Forms a hinge with the temporal bone

31 Mandibular Process Smooth surface of the condylar process

32 Occipital Condyle Articulates with the atlas vertebrae (the first vertebrae in the spinal column

33 Zygomatic Process Three extensions of the zygomatic bone that connect with the frontal bone, maxilla, and temporal bone

34 External Occipital Protuberance
Bony protrusion of the occipital bone Muscles that keep the head upright and allow the head to tilt backward attach here

35 The Sphenoid Bone Pterygoid Process and the hamulus of the pterygoid process

40 Name the Process

41 Name the Process

42 Foramina and Other Structures
General terms to describe openings include Foramen, canal, meatus, fissure sinus

43 Foramina and Other Structures
Supraorbital foramen (frontal) Infraorbital foramen (maxilla) Mental foramen (mandible) Mandibular foramen (mandible) External acoustic meatus (temporal) Palatine foramen (palatine) Foramen ovale (sphenoid) Foramen lacerum (temporal) Foramen spinosum (sphenoid) Foramen rotundum (sphenoid) Jugular foramen (temporal) Foramen magnum (occipital) Stylomastoid foramen (temporal) Carotid canal (temporal)

44 Supraorbital foramen**
“above” the orbit Opening for blood vessels and nerves passing from the eyebrows and eyelids

45 Infraorbital foramen**
“below the orbit” Opening for facial nerves

46 Mental foramen** Distal/lateral opening for the mental nerve and vessels that innervate the lip

47 Mandibular foramen Proximal/medial opening for the mental nerve and vessels that innervate the lip and teeth

48 External Auditory meatus**
Opening that leads to the eardrum (tympanum)

49 Palatine foramen Nerves that innervate the palate

50 Foramen ovale** Trigeminal nerve – mandibular branch

51 Foramen lacerum Filled with cartilage

52 Foramen spinosum Nerves that innervate the meninges enter the brain

53 Foramen rotundum Trigeminal nerve: maxillary branch

54 Jugular foramen** Jugular vein

55 Foramen magnum** Spinal cord

56 Stylomastoid foramen Facial nerves exit skull

57 Carotid Canal** Carotid artery
