Study Notes
Cranium and Functions
- The cranium consists of 8 bones that protect the brain.
- Major cranial bones include frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid.
Key Nerves and Muscles
- The greater palatine nerve innervates the posterior hard palate and lingual gingiva.
- The masseter muscle is the strongest muscle responsible for mastication.
- The sternocleidomastoid muscle divides the neck into anterior and posterior triangles.
- The abducens nerve (6th cranial nerve) controls eye muscle movement.
Anatomy of the Head
- The occipital region covers the occipital bone and is overlaid by the scalp.
- The infraorbital region is located below the orbital area of the head.
- The buccal area pertains to structures close to the inner cheek.
- The lacrimal bones form part of the medial wall of the orbit.
Tongue and Salivary Structures
- Circumvallate lingual papillae are the large papillae present on the tongue.
- Salivary glands are responsible for saliva production, with the parotid gland being the largest.
- The parotid duct, also known as Stensen's duct, opens into the oral cavity at the parotid papilla.
Jaw and Teeth Anatomy
- The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) allows mandible movement and exhibits hinge and glide actions.
- Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) refers to diseases involving the TMJ.
- The mental foramen is located in the mandible.
Bone Structures
- The maxilla forms the upper jaw and hard palate.
- The mandible is the only movable bone of the skull, supporting dental structures.
- The hyoid bone is a horseshoe-shaped structure where tongue and floor mouth muscles attach.
Vascular Supply
- The inferior alveolar artery runs behind the ramus and has five branches.
- The posterior superior alveolar artery supplies blood to maxillary molars, premolars, and gingival tissues.
Regions and Anatomical Considerations
- The head consists of 11 regions: frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, orbital, nasal, infraorbital, zygomatic, buccal, oral, and mental.
- Cranial bones include specific names and numbers, highlighting their anatomical relevance.
