    Study Notes

    Brain Structure

    • Folds in the brain are called gyri, and the valleys between them are called sulci.
    • The brain has hollow fluid-filled cavities called ventricles.
    • The third ventricle connects with the fourth ventricle through a long narrow tube called the cerebral aqueduct.

    Orbit Bones

    • The walls of each orbit are formed by parts of seven bones: frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, maxillary, palatine, lacrimal, and ethmoid bones.
    • The orbits are cone-shaped bony cavities that hold:
      • The eyes
      • The muscles that move the eyes
      • Fat
      • The tear-producing glands

    Facial Bones

    • The skeleton of the face consists of 14 bones.
    • The mandible is the largest, strongest bone in the face.

    Paranasal Sinuses

    • The air-filled sinuses are called paranasal sinuses because they cluster around the nasal cavity.
