Flashcards

What bone forms the hard palate?

The maxilla forms the upper jaw and contributes to the hard palate, the bony roof of the mouth.

Which bone is involved in Prognathism and Retrognathism?

The mandible, or lower jawbone, plays a crucial role in both prognathism (protruding jaw) and retrognathism (receding jaw).

Where is the inferior nasal concha found?

The ethmoid bone, located within the skull, contains the delicate, scroll-like inferior nasal concha.

What bone contains the mandibular foramen?

The mandibular foramen is a hole on the inner surface of the mandible that allows nerves and blood vessels to pass through.

Study Notes

Cranial Bones and Their Features

The hard palate is formed by the Palatine bone and the Maxilla bone.
The Maxilla bone is involved in Prognathism (forward projection of the lower jaw) and Retrognathism (backward projection of the lower jaw).
The Maxilla bone contains the inferior nasal concha.
The Mandible bone (lower jawbone) contains the mandibular foramen.
