Study Notes
Axial Skeleton Overview
- Divided into cranial and facial bones.
- Total cranial bones: 8 (Ethmoid, Frontal, Occipital, Parietal, Sphenoid, Temporal).
- Total facial bones: 14 (Lacrimal, Mandible, Maxilla, Nasal, Vomer, Zygomatic, plus Inferior nasal concha and Palatine not shown).
Fetal Skull Development
- Contains soft spots known as fontanelles: Anterior, Mastoid, Metopic, Posterior, and Sphenoidal.
- Fontanelles allow for brain growth and skull shape change during birth.
Sutures and Junctions
- Major sutures: Coronal, Lambdoid, and Sagittal, connecting cranial bones.
- Junction points significant for anatomical reference: Asterion, Bregma, Lambda.
Anterior Skull Anatomy
- Frontal bone features: Squamous part, Supraorbital margin, and Foremen.
- Sphenoid bone includes Greater wing, Inferior and Superior orbital fissures, and Optic canal.
- Ethmoid bone elements: Orbital part, Middle nasal concha, and Perpendicular plate.
- Junction points: Nasion and Pterion.
Lateral Skull View
- Temporal bone includes External acoustic meatus, Mastoid process, Zygomatic process.
- Mandible anatomy: Alveolar process, Angle, Body, and various processes.
- Zygomatic bone features contributions to the orbit structure.
Skull Cavities and Sinuses
- Major cavities include the Cranial cavity and various sinuses: Ethmoidal, Frontal, Maxillary, Sphenoidal.
- Other cavities include the Nasal and Oral cavities, as well as the Orbit.
Cranial Base and Passageways
- Key structures: Cribriform foramina, Foramen magnum, Jugular foramen, Optic canal.
- Important for nervous system and vascular pathways.
Vertebral Anatomy
- Cervical vertebrae include C1 (Atlas) and C2 (Axis), with C2 noted for the Dens (Odontoid process).
- Features of C4, C7, and other significant vertebrae types like thoracic (T4, T5) and lumbar (L3) vertebrae.
- Sacrum's anatomy includes Anterior sacral foramen and the Apex, while the Coccyx consists of multiple fused vertebrae.
Vertebral Support Structures
- Various ligaments support the vertebral column: Anterior and Posterior longitudinal ligaments, Interspinous ligament, Ligamentum flavum, Supraspinous ligament.
Sternum and Rib Anatomy
- Sternum consists of three parts: Manubrium, Body, and Xiphoid process.
- Ribs classified as true, false, and floating: true ribs connect directly to the sternum, false ribs connect indirectly, and floating ribs have no attachment to the sternum.
Atypical Rib Structures
- Ribs T1, T2 are atypical due to additional features compared to typical ribs T3-T9.
- T11 and T12 exhibit unique characteristics distinguishing them from true ribs.
Isolated Bone Identification
- Key isolated bones to know: Ethmoid, Maxilla, Sphenoid, Zygomatic, Frontal, Mandible, Occipital, Parietal, Temporal.
- Familiarize with bone markings and anatomical positions across different views.
These notes encapsulate the essential aspects of the axial skeleton covered in the laboratory session, serving as a useful reference for study and examination preparation.
