Study Notes
Introduction
- The skeleton of the head and neck includes the skull, middle ear ossicles, hyoid bone, and cervical vertebrae
- Skull (22 bones)
- Middle ear ossicles (6)
- Hyoid bone (1)
- Cervical vertebrae (7)
Skull
- Composed of several separate bones connected by immobile fibrous joints called sutures
- The connective tissue between bones is called a sutural ligament
- The mandible is the only bone synovially connected to the skull (temporomandibular joint)
- Cranial bones surround the brain (8 bones)
- Facial bones (14 bones) form the face
Neurocranium vs. Viscerocranium
- Neurocranium: Cranial bones (8)
- Viscerocranium: Facial bones (14)
Skull Vault/Calvarium
- The superior part of the cranium
- Forms the roof and side walls of the cranial cavity
Skull Base
- The lowest part of the cranium
- Forms the floor of the cranial cavity
Norma Views of the Skull
- Norma frontalis: View from the front
- Norma verticalis: View from above
- Norma lateralis: Side view
- Norma basalis externa: View from below (outside)
- Norma basalis interna: View from below (inside)
- Norma occipitalis: View from behind
Cranial Bones
- Frontal bone (1)
- Parietal bones (2)
- Occipital bone (1)
- Temporal bones (2)
- Sphenoid bone (1)
- Ethmoid bone (1)
Facial Bones
- Zygomatic bones (2)
- Maxillae (2)
- Nasal bones (2)
- Lacrimal bones (2)
- Vomer (1)
- Palatine bones (2)
- Inferior nasal conchae (2)
- Mandible (1)
Specific Bone Structures and Features
- Frontal bone structures: Superciliary arches, glabella, nasion, frontal eminence, supraorbital foramen/fissure
- Maxilla structures : Frontal process, zygomatic process, alveolar process, orbital plate, infraorbital foramen, anterior nasal spine
- Zygomatic bone structures: Frontal process, maxillary process, orbital plate, zygomaticofacial foramen, temporal process, zygomatic arch
- Mandible structures: Mental foramen
- Palatine process of maxillary bone: Forms the majority of the hard palate
- Orbital plate of maxillary bone
- Nasal bones
- Skull Sutures

- Anterior and Posterior fontanelles
Additional Details
- Skull bones, both cranial and facial, are described in more detail, along with specific features of each bone. Foramina (openings) are mentioned.
- Different norma views are explained.
- Time of closure of fontanelles is noted.
