Questions and Answers
Match the following parts of the axial skeleton with their descriptions:
Frontal Bone = Forms the forehead and part of the eye socket Sphenoid = Contributes to the base of the cranium and houses the pituitary gland Lumbar Vertebrae = Support the lower back and are the largest and strongest vertebrae Vomer = Forms the inferior half of the nasal septum
Match the following skull sutures with their locations:
Coronal Suture = Between the frontal and parietal bones Sagittal Suture = Between the two parietal bones Lambdoid Suture = Between the parietal and occipital bones Squamousal Suture = Between the temporal and parietal bones
Match the following rib types with their descriptions:
True Ribs = Directly attached to the sternum via costal cartilage Floating Ribs = Do not attach to the sternum and are only connected to the vertebrae False Ribs = Indirectly attached to the sternum via cartilage of another rib Manubrium Sternum (body) = Connects to the first seven pairs of ribs
Study Notes
Axial Skeleton
- The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones that make up the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum
- The axial skeleton provides support and protection for the body's internal organs
Skull Sutures
- Cranial sutures are fibrous joints that connect bones of the skull
- Sagittal suture: located at the top of the skull, separates the two parietal bones
- Coronal suture: located at the front of the skull, separates the frontal bone from the parietal bones
- Lambdoid suture: located at the back of the skull, separates the occipital bone from the parietal bones
Rib Types
- True ribs (1-7): attached to the sternum by costal cartilages
- False ribs (8-10): attached to the 7th rib by cartilage
- Floating ribs (11-12): not attached to the sternum or cartilage
