Study Notes
Joint Function
- Friction reduction and shock absorption are functions of articular cartilage
- Synovial fluid also contributes to shock absorption and lubrication, aiding in smooth joint movement.
Humerus
- The capitulum and trochlea are found at the distal end of the humerus.
- The olecranon fossa and coronoid fossa are also found at the distal end.
Paranasal Sinuses
- Sphenoid, ethmoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses are considered paranasal sinuses.
- The mastoid air cells are not part of the paranasal sinuses system.
The Carotid Canal
- The carotid artery passes through the carotid canal located in the temporal bone.
Middle Cranial Fossa
- The foramen ovale, foramen spinosum, and foramen rotundum are all openings associated with the middle cranial fossa.
- The foramen magnum and hypoglossal canal are not associated with the middle cranial fossa.
Paranasal Sinuses in Bones
- There are no paranasal sinuses in the following bones:
- Parietal
- Occipital
- Temporal
Ribs
- A typical rib has a head, neck, tubercle, body, and angle.
- Costal cartilage does not form part of a typical rib but connects the rib to the sternum.
Orbit
- The frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, ethmoid, and maxilla bones form the orbit.
- The lacrimal bone is included in the orbit.
- The mandible does not form any part of the orbit.
Frontal Bone Articulation
- The frontal bone articulates with the following bones:
- Parietal
- Sphenoid
- Ethmoid
- Zygomatic
- Maxilla
- The temporal bone does not articulate with the frontal bone.
Hip Joint
- The iliofemoral ligament significantly prevents overextension (hyperextension) at the hip joint.
Infratemporal Fossa
- The inferior orbital fissure allows communication between the infratemporal fossa and the orbital cavity.
Anatomical Terms
- Posterior: towards the back
- Ipsilateral: on the same side of the body
- Supine: lying face up
Facial Skeleton
- Each of the following bones contributes to the facial skeleton:
- Maxilla
- Mandible
- Nasal
- Lacrimal
- Zygomatic
- Palatine
- Vomer
- Inferior nasal conchae
- The frontal bone is part of the cranial skeleton, not the facial skeleton.
Pterygopalatine Fossa
- The pterygopalatine fossa communicates with the oral cavity through the pterygomaxillary fissure.
Ribs and Articulation
- Seven pairs of ribs directly articulate with the sternum.
Axial Skeleton
- The clavicle and scapula are part of the appendicular skeleton.
- The skull, vertebral column, and rib cage form the axial skeleton.
Paranasal Sinus Drainage
- The frontal sinus drains into the middle meatus via the frontoethmoidal duct.
- The sphenoid sinus drains into the sphenoethmoidal recess.
- The other paranasal sinuses (ethmoid and maxillary) all drain into the middle meatus.
Pivot Joint Movement
- Rotation is the type of movement normally seen at pivot joints.
Gomphosis
- The periodontal ligament is the connective tissue joining structure in a gomphosis.
Saddle Joint
- Saddle joints allow for biaxial movements, meaning movement in two planes. It's shaped like a saddle, allowing for flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and circumduction.
Superior Orbital Fissure
- The superior orbital fissure is located between the greater wing of the sphenoid bone and the body of the sphenoid bone.
Medial Ankle Prominence
- The prominence felt on the medial surface of the ankle is part of the medial malleolus, which is a projection of the tibia.
Coronoid Process
- The coronoid process belongs to the mandible.
Forearm Position
- When your palms are lying flat on the table, your forearms are in pronation.
Anatomical Plane
- The midsagittal plane divides the body into equal right and left halves.
Ethmoid Bone Articulation
- The ethmoid bone in the nasal septum articulates with the vomer.
Osteons
- Osteons are the characteristic structural units of compact bone.
Sutures
- The metopic suture usually fuses in early childhood and generally does not persist in adulthood.
Nasal Cavity Roof
- The cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone forms the roof of the nasal cavity.
Temporal Bone Parts
- The squamous part of the temporal bone contains the external acoustic meatus.
Long Bone Ends
- The distal and proximal ends of a long bone are called the epiphyses.
Superior Limb Attachment
- The sternoclavicular joint serves as the only bony attachment of the superior limb to the axial skeleton.
Bones with Two of Each
- There are normally two of each of the following bones EXCEPT the vomer.
Sphenoid Foramina
- The foramina found in the sphenoid bone include:
- Foramen ovale
- Foramen lacerum
- Foramen rotundum
- Optic canal
- Superior orbital fissure
- The foramen magnum is located in the occipital bone.
Epiphyseal Plate
- The epiphyseal plate is responsible for longitudinal bone growth.
Vertebra Structure
- A typical vertebra consists of a body, vertebral arch, spinous process, transverse process, and lamina.
- Costal facets are present only in thoracic vertebrae.
Elevation and Depression
- You can elevate and depress your scapula, mandible, and hyoid bone.
Pterygopalatine Fossa Opening
- The pterygopalatine fossa opens into the nasal cavity through the sphenopalatine foramen.
Middle Cranial Fossa Openings
- The foramen ovale, foramen spinosum, and foramen rotundum open into the middle cranial fossa.
- The superior orbital fissure does not open into the middle cranial fossa.
Movement Between Articulating Bones
- Movement that increases the angle between articulating bones is called extension.
Lamina Cribrosa
- Lamina cribrosa is located in the ethmoid bone.
Hemopoiesis
- Hemopoiesis or blood cell formation occurs in the red bone marrow.
Pterygopalatine Fossa Communication
- The pterygopalatine fossa communicates with the middle cranial fossa through the pterygoid canal.
Synchondrosis Example
- The sternocostal joint is an example of a synchondrosis (cartilaginous joint).
Glabella
- The glabella is found on the frontal bone.
Anatomical Position
- A person in anatomical position exhibits all of the following except palms facing the body.
First Cervical Vertebra
- The atlas (C1), the first cervical vertebra, has no body and instead has two lateral masses connected by anterior and posterior arches.
Long Bone Shaft
- The diaphysis is the shaft of a long bone.
Hinge Joints
- The hinge joint allows for uniaxial movement, meaning movement in one plane. It resembles a door hinge, primarily allowing flexion and extension.
Ellipsoid Joints
- The ellipsoid joint is biaxial, allowing for flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and circumduction. It resembles the shape of an egg, allowing for movement in two planes.
