Study Notes
Palatine Bone
- Located posteriorly and inferiorly to the hard palate.
- Contributes to the roof of the mouth and the floor of the nasal cavity.
Bones of the Cranium
- Comprises 8 bones that protect the brain:
- Sphenoid (1)
- Temporal (2)
- Ethmoid (1)
- Parietal (2)
- Occipital (1)
- Frontal (1)
Frontal Bone
- Flat bone divided into three parts:
- Squamous
- Orbital
- Nasal
- Plays a role in facial expressions via the frontalis muscle.
Parietal Bones
- Two flat bones, each with four regions:
- Frontal
- Occipital
- Sphenoidal
- Mastoid Angle
Occipital Bone
- Flat bone composed of three sections:
- Squamous
- Basilar
- Lateral
- Contains the foramen magnum, through which the spinal cord passes.
Temporal Bones
- Irregular bones featuring five parts:
- Squamous
- Petrous
- Tympanic
- Mastoid
- Styloid
- The styloid process serves as an anchor for muscles involved with the tongue and larynx.
Ethmoid Bone
- Located within the paranasal sinuses, forming part of the anterior cranial fossa floor.
- Composed of four sections:
- Cribriform plate (1)
- Perpendicular plate (1)
- Ethmoid labyrinths (2)
Clinical Relevance
- Cribriform plate fractures can lead to anosmia (loss of smell).
- Ethmoid labyrinth fractures may result in communication between the nasal cavity and orbit, causing orbital emphysema.
- Inflammation of the ethmoid can lead to rhinosinusitis.
- Rhinorrhea may occur when cerebral spinal fluid drains from one side of the nose due to disruption.
- Ethmoid bone damage can stem from infection, inflammation, or facial trauma.
