Study Notes
מבוא
- Facial bones are a crucial part of the skull, forming the facial structure.
- They support the cranium and vital organs like the eyes, nose, and mouth, and are essential for activities like breathing, swallowing, and speaking.
- They are composed of many small bones intricately joined together.
- Each bone has a specific function and unique characteristics.
עצמות הפנים: רשימה ומאפיינים עיקריים
-
Zygomatic bone (עצם הלחיים):
- Contributes to facial shape, creating a distinct bridge.
- Serves as an attachment point for many facial muscles.
- Connects to other bones, including the zygomatic bone, frontal bone, maxilla, and temporal bones.
-
Mandible (עצם הלסת התחתונה):
- The only movable bone in the face.
- Contains the lower teeth.
- It is the largest and strongest bone in the face.
- Enables mouth movements during chewing and speaking.
-
Maxilla (עצם הלסת העליונה):
- Shapes the upper part of the face.
- Contains some of the upper teeth.
- Is central to the facial structure, connecting to multiple bones, such as the frontal bone and nasal bones.
- Forms part of the nasal aperture and other significant facial structures.
-
Nasal bones:
- Form the bridge of the nose.
- Provide support for the nasal bridge.
- Play a key role in breathing.
