Study Notes
Cranial Bone Structure and Function
- The crista galli and superior nasal conchae are found in the ethmoid bone.
- The crista galli serves as an attachment point for the falx cerebri, a membrane that separates the two cerebral hemispheres.
- The sella turcica is located on the sphenoid bone, housing the pituitary gland.
- The frontal bone contributes to both the roof of the nasal cavity and the anterior cranial fossa.
- Supraorbital foramina are situated above the orbits in the frontal bone, allowing the passage of nerves and blood vessels.
- The sphenoid bone consists of two lesser wings, two greater wings, and two pterygoid processes, forming a critical region of the skull base.
- The crista galli is positioned in the midline of the ethmoid bone, projecting upwards into the cranial cavity.
- The parietal bones have convex external surfaces and concave internal surfaces, contributing to the lateral aspects of the skull.
- The supraorbital margin of the frontal bone features a notch or foramen at its center for neurovascular structures.
- The palatine bone consists of a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, helping form the posterior part of the hard palate.
- Cranial bones serve to protect the brain, support the structures of the head, and act as attachment points for muscles.
- The suture between the frontal and parietal bones is known as the coronal suture.
- The lambdoidal suture is located at the posterior aspect of the skull, joining the occipital bone with the parietal bones.
- The sphenoidal fontanel allows for flexibility during birth and accommodates brain growth during infancy.
- The area labeled lambda refers to the lambdoid fontanel, where the parietal bones meet the occipital bone.
- The ethmoid and sphenoid bones are located in the middle cranial fossa, contributing to both the nasal cavity and orbit.
- The glabella is the smooth elevation between the superciliary ridges on the frontal bone.
- The occipital bone articulates with the right and left parietal bones, as well as the sphenoid and ethmoid bones.
- ASTERION and BREGMA are junctions of cranial bones, with Asterion marking the junction of the occipital, parietal, and temporal bones, and Bregma being where the frontal and parietal bones meet.
