5 Bones of the Skull The skull bones are made up of external and internal tables of compact bone separated by a layer of spongy bone called the diploe.

6 The skull has 22 bones, excluding the ossicles of the ear.
COMPONENT PARTS The skull has 22 bones, excluding the ossicles of the ear. Except for the mandible, which forms the lower jaw, the bones of the skull are attached to each other by sutures, are immobile, and form the cranium.

7

8 2.Lower anterior part-the facial skeleton (viscerocranium).
Subdivisons 1.The cranium can be subdivided into: an upper part the calvaria, which surrounds the cranial cavity containing the brain(Neurocranium). 2.Lower anterior part-the facial skeleton (viscerocranium).

9 The cranium consists of the following bones, two of which are paired
Frontal bone: 1 Parietal bones: 2 Occipital bone: 1 Temporal bones: 2 Sphenoid bone: 1 Ethmoid bone: 1

10 The facial bones consist of the following, two of which are single:
Zygomatic bones: 2 Maxillae: 2 Nasal bones: 2 Lacrimal bones: 2 Vomer: 1 Palatine bones: 2 Inferior conchae: 2 Mandible: 1

11 Frankfort horizontal line(anatomical position of Cranium)
Horizontal plane represented by a line between Upper rim of the external auditory canal( auricular point), to the lower rim of the orbit( infraorbital point). FHL divides the head into upper and lower halves.

12 External Views of the Skull
Anterior View of the Skull(Norma frontalis) The anterior view of the skull includes the forehead superiorly, and, inferiorly, the orbits, the nasal region, the part of the face between the orbit and the lower jaw

13

14 Foramen of Anterior view
1. Supra-orbital foramen: Supra-orbital nerve and vessels. 2. Infra-orbital foramen: Infra-orbital nerve and vessels. 3. Mental foramen: Mental nerve and vessels

15 Superior view of the skull(Norma verticalis)
Parietal foramen: Emissary veins

17 Bregma and Lambda

18 Posterior view of the skull(Norma occipitalis)

21 Lateral view of skull(norma lateralis)

23 Temporal bone

24 Petrous portion of Temporal bone

25 Fracture of the Pterion
A hard blow to the side of the head may fracture the thin bones forming the pterion, producing a rupture of the anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery crossing the pterion

26 Inferior view of the skull.

27

28 Foramen 1. Incisive fossa 2. Greater and lesser palatine foramina
3.Jugular foramen 4.Carotid canal 5.Stylomastoid foramen 6.Foramen magnum

29 Skull Cranial fossa

30

31 Internal Surface of the Cranial Base
The internal surface of the cranial base has three large depressions that lie at different levels: the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae .

32

33 Anterior cranial fossa

34

35

36 Foramen of Anterior cranial fossa
1. Cribriform plate:olfactory nerves (CN-I) 2. Foramen cecum: occasional small emissary vein from nasal mucosa to superior sagittal sinus. 3. Anterior and posterior ethmoidal foramina: anterior and posterior ethmoidal nerves, arteries, and veins.

37 Middle cranial fossa-

38

39 Foramen of Middle cranial fossa
Optic canal: optic nerve (CN II), ophthalmic artery. 2.Superior orbital fissure: oculomotor (CN III), trochlear (CN IV), and abducens (CN VI) nerves; ophthalmic division of trigeminal nerve (CN V1) and ophthalmic veins. 3.  Foramen rotundum:  Maxillary nerve

40 4. Foramen ovale: Mandibular nerve, the accessory meningeal artery, and the lesser petrosal nerve.
5. Foramen spinosum: middle meningeal artery.

41 Posterior cranial fossa

42 Foramen of posterior cranial fossa
Foramen magnum: medulla, the ascending portions of the spinal accessory nerve (XI), and the vertebral arteries. Internal acoustic meatus:facial (VII) and vestibulocochlear (VIII) cranial nerves Jugular foramen: internal jugular vein (actually begins here), the glossopharyngeal (IX), the vagus (X) and the accessory (XI) nerves. Anterior condylar (hypoglossal) canal: hypoglossal (XII) nerve.
