Study Notes
Cranial Bones and Articulations
- The atlas bone articulates with the occipital bone.
Brain Functions
- The superior colliculus is responsible for auditory reflexes, such as locating the source of a sound.
- The inferior colliculus is responsible for auditory processing, particularly with regards to sound localization and auditory spatial awareness.
Olfactory System
- The cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone houses the olfactory nerve.
Eye Movements
- The lateral rectus muscle is affected if someone can't look laterally, indicating a potential issue with ocular movement.
