Study Notes
Learning Objectives
- Identify bones of the Cranium and their sutures
- Label different views of the cranium
- Recognize features of the Sphenoid and Ethmoid bones
- Understand the significance of the Infratemporal and Pterygopalatine Fossa
Definition and Structure
- The skull, or cranium, comprises 22 individual bones that protect the brain and support the face
- Divided into two sections:
- Neurocranium: Cranial bones
- Viscerocranium: Facial bones
Terminology Glossary
- Internal: Inside
- External: Outside
- Articulate: To join
- Medial: Towards the midline
- Lateral: Away from the midline
- Anterior: Towards the front
- Posterior: Towards the back
- Inferior: Below
- Superior: Above
- Fossa: Shallow depression
- Foramen: Passageway for blood/nerves
- Process, Canal, and Tubercle: Various bone projections/features
Neurocranium Functions
- Protects the brain
- Serves as attachment points for muscles responsible for facial expression and mastication
- Provides framework for cranial and orbital cavities
Lobes of the Brain
- Frontal Lobe: Personality, judgment, motor functions, speech, and planning
- Parietal Lobe: Sensory information interpretation, spatial perception
- Occipital Lobe: Vision processing
- Temporal Lobe: Language understanding, memory, and auditory processing
Broca's and Wernicke's Areas
- Broca's Area: Located in the left frontal lobe, involved in speech production; damage leads to difficulty in speaking and writing
- Wernicke's Area: Located in the left temporal lobe, involved in language comprehension; damage results in nonsensical speech and difficulty understanding language
Skull Sutures
- Coronal Suture: Unites frontal and parietal bones
- Sagittal Suture: Joins two parietal bones at the midline
- Lambdoid Suture: Connects parietal bones to the occipital bone
- Squamosal Suture: Links temporal bone to parietal bones
- Metopic Suture: Joins two frontal bones (present variably in adults)
Assessment
- A formative assessment will be conducted at the end of the series of lectures.
