Study Notes
Skull Structure
- The skull comprises two sections: Neurocranium (cranial bones) and Viscerocranium (facial bones).
- The facial skeleton protects the brain and houses sensory organs related to smell, sight, taste, and provides a framework for facial soft tissues.
Maxilla Bones
- Maxillae are paired irregular bones forming the upper jaw and hold teeth, contributing to the dental arch.
- Articulates with various bones: zygomatic, palatine, nasal, lacrimal, and others, creating the framework of the facial structure.
- Important for facial expressions as it connects to muscles like those involved in smiling and frowning.
Zygomatic Bones
- Form the cheekbones, characterized by a diamond shape.
- Play a role in the structure of the face and provide attachment points for muscle attachment involved in mastication.
Lacrimal Bones
- The smallest bones in the face located at the medial wall of the orbit.
- Involved in the drainage of tears, part of the tear duct system, and articulate with multiple bones including the frontal and ethmoid bones.
- Susceptible to fractures, which can obstruct the nasal lacrimal duct.
Mandible Bone
- The largest bone of the skull, forming the lower jawline and housing the lower teeth.
- Its articulation with the temporal bone creates the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), essential for movement during mastication.
Palatine Bones
- Paired L-shaped bones located at the back of the nasal cavity, contribute to the formation of the hard palate and orbit.
- Articulates with six other bones, aiding in forming the cavities of the nasal, oral, and orbital regions.
- Contains foramina for transmitting nerves and blood vessels (greater and lesser palatine).
Torus Palatinus
- A painless bony outgrowth of the palatine bone that can impede speech and swallowing.
- Known as Tori (plural), these are significant for understanding oral health and anatomy.
Learning Outcomes
- By the end of sessions on the facial skeleton, understand the 14 facial bones, location of intracranial fossae, and details about the hyoid bone.
- Importance of understanding skull anatomy for clinical applications in healthcare.
