Study Notes
Sutures and Skull Bones
- Sutures are fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull.
- The coronal suture is located between the frontal and parietal bones.
- The human skull consists of 8 cranial bones.
- The foramen magnum is an opening in the occipital bone that allows passage of the spinal cord.
- The optic canal allows passage of the optic nerve.
- The nasal conchae, located in the nasal cavity, are structures whose functions include increasing surface area, humidifying air, and producing mucus.
- The hard palate, formed by the maxilla and palatine bones, separates the oral and nasal cavities.
- The maxillary sinuses, located above the teeth, are air-filled spaces within the maxilla bone.
- The mandible is a facial bone and also considered an irregular bone.
- The zygomatic bones contribute to the lateral walls of the orbit.
Paranasal Sinuses, Nasal Cavities, and Nasal Septum
- The sphenoid bone is shaped like a butterfly.
- The nasal septum, primarily composed of the vomer and ethmoid bone, separates the nasal cavity.
- The anterior cranial fossa is separated from the middle cranial fossa by the lesser wing of the sphenoid.
- Structures within the nasal cavity, such as the nasal conchae and maxillary tuberosity, are part of the lateral wall.
- The frontal, lacrimal, zygomatic and sphenoid bones contribute to the orbit.
- The ethmoid bone contributes to the nasal cavity and orbit.
- Pterygoid processes are part of the sphenoid bone.
- The inferior nasal conchae are separate bones.
- Nasal conchae enhance airflow and filtering.
Muscles of Mastication
- The masseter muscle is the primary muscle for elevating the mandible.
- The temporalis muscle elevates and retracts the mandible.
- The lateral pterygoid muscle aids in side-to-side jaw movement and protracts the mandible.
- The suprahyoid muscles elevate the hyoid bone, essential for swallowing.
- The infrahyoid muscles depress the hyoid bone following elevation.
- The hyoid bone is a U-shaped bone.
- The pterygoid fossa is located on the sphenoid bone.
- The sternocleidomastoid muscle helps rotate the head.
- The superior nasal concha is part of the ethmoid bone.
- The TMJ capsule provides structural stability for the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Clinical Relevance
- TMJ disorders can cause pain during chewing.
- Fibrocartilage is found in the articular disc of the TMJ.
- The digastric muscle assists in elevating the hyoid bone and depressing the mandible.
- The masseter, medial pterygoid, and temporalis muscles are all associated with clenching.
- Maxillary sinusitis can cause facial pressure, tooth pain, and ear pain.
- Teeth grinding is commonly called bruxism.
- The lesser wing of the sphenoid separates the anterior and middle cranial fossae.
- The splenius capitis muscle rotates the head.
- Scalene muscles elevate ribs, assisting in breathing.
- The orbicularis oris muscle closes the mouth.
Anatomy and Physiology
- The maxilla contributes to the hard palate, nasal cavity, and orbit.
- The condyles of the mandible articulate with the temporal bone.
- The spinal cord, vertebral arteries, and cranial nerves, but not the accessory nerve (CN XI), pass through the foramen magnum.
- The maxilla, nasal bones, and ethmoid bone make up the structure that houses the nasal cavity.
- The primary function of the hyoid bone is to serve as muscle attachment.
- The deep masseter muscle contributes to jaw closing.
- The articular disc in the TMJ helps to smooth movement.
- The nasal conchae are involved in filtering and humidifying air.
- The vomer forms part of the nasal septum.
- The trigeminal nerve (CN V) innervates the muscles of mastication.
Final Set of Questions
- The hard palate is formed by the maxilla and palatine bones.
- The trapezius muscle elevates the scapula.
- The articular disc has three zones.
- The mental foramen is located on the mandible.
- The nasal conchae are not part of the nasal septum.
- Lateral deviation is a TMJ movement that occurs during chewing.
- The digastric, omohyoid, and sternohyoid muscles all help depress the hyoid bone.
- The frontal bone is the most anterior cranial bone.
- The masseter and temporalis muscles are the primary muscles for jaw elevation.
- Jaw protrusion is a function of the TMJ.
- The presence of the maxillary sinus adds resonance to the voice.
- The hyoid bone is the only floating bone and does not articulate with any other bones.
- The superficial masseter muscle assists in closing the jaw.
- Lateral deviation is essential for grinding food.
- The maxilla bone forms part of the hard palate.
- The trigeminal nerve (CN V) is responsible for sensation in the face and mastication.
- Pterygoid muscles protract and laterally move the mandible.
- Ear pain is a common symptom of TMJ dysfunction.
- The lateral and medial pterygoid muscles elevate the mandible.
- The sternocleidomastoid muscle is primarily responsible for neck flexion.
