Study Notes
Gross Anatomy: Head and Neck
- The Skull: Composed of cranial and facial bones, joined by sutures.
- Cranial Nerves: 12 nerves primarily serving the head and neck (excluding the 10th nerve).
- Cranial Bones: Frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
- Facial Bones: Zygomatic, maxillae, nasal, lacrimal, vomer, palatine, and inferior nasal conchae, mandible.
- Bone Arrangement: The skull bones form a protective vault for the brain and form the base of the skull with cavities for various structures.
Bones of the Skull
- Sutures: Immovable joints connecting bones of the skull.
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ): The only movable joint in the skull.
- Vault: Upper part of the cranium.
- Base: Lower part of the skull.
- Diploe: Spongy bone layer situated between the external and internal tables.
Cranial Bones
- Frontal Bone: Forms the forehead and part of the eye orbits.
- Parietal Bones: Form much of the top and sides of the skull.
- Temporal Bones: Important for hearing and contain the structures of the ear.
- Occipital Bone: Forms the back of the skull and has the foramen magnum.
- Sphenoid Bone: Butterfly-shaped bone that forms part of the base and sides of the skull.
- Ethmoid Bone: Located between the eye socket and the nose.
Facial Bones
- Zygomatic Bones: Form the cheekbones.
- Maxillae: Form the upper jaw.
- Nasal Bones: Form the bridge of the nose.
- Lacrimal Bones: Small bones forming part of the eye sockets.
- Vomer: Forms part of the nasal septum.
- Palatine Bones: Part of the hard palate.
- Inferior Nasal Conchae: Located in the nasal cavity.
- Mandible: Lower jaw bone.
Skull Views
- Superior View: Shows the frontal bone and parietal bones, as well as the coronal, sagittal and lambdoid sutures.
- Lateral View: Reveals the parietal, temporal, occipital, and zygomatic bones and sutures.
- Anterior View: Shows frontal, zygomatic, and maxillary bones.
- Posterior View: Reveals the occipital and parietal bones and sutures.
- Inferior View: Shows the occipital, temporal, sphenoid, and parts of the facial bones.
