Study Notes
Irregular Bones
- Vertebral bones are classified as irregular bones.
Sella Turcica
- The sella turcica is a structure found in the sphenoid bone, not in the ethmoid bone.
Kyphosis
- Kyphosis is characterized by an exaggerated curvature of the thoracic region in the vertebral column.
Dens or Odontoid Process
- The tooth-like projection on the second cervical vertebra is known as the dens or odontoid process.
Facet
- A facet refers to a flat surface on a bone, serving as a site for articulation with another bone.
Transverse Processes
- Lateral projections of vertebrae are called transverse processes.
Paired Cranial Bones
- The temporal bone is a paired cranial bone, meaning there are two temporal bones in the skull.
Perpendicular Plate
- The perpendicular plate is a structure not found on the sphenoid bone.
Mandible Structures
- The mental foramen, coronoid process, angle, and body are anatomical structures associated with the mandible.
Sacral Region
- The sacral region comprises five fused vertebrae, forming the sacrum.
Occipital Bone
- The superior and inferior nuchal lines are located on the occipital bone.
Sinus
- A sinus is defined as a cavity located within a bone.
Nasal Bones
- The bones that create the bridge of the nose are referred to as nasal bones.
Sagittal Suture
- The suture found between the parietal bones is called the sagittal suture.
Atlas
- The first cervical vertebra is termed the atlas and supports the skull.
Mandibular Fossa
- The mandibular fossa is a temporal depression that articulates with the mandible.
Frontal Bone
- The supraorbital foramina are located in the frontal bone.
Orbit Formation
- The temporal bone does not contribute to the formation of the orbit.
Cribiform Plate
- The cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone contains olfactory foramina, which are crucial for the sense of smell.
Scoliosis
- Scoliosis is defined as an abnormal lateral bending of the spine, particularly in the thoracic region.
