Study Notes
Skull Anatomy
- The skull is the skeleton of the head
- It is formed by the articulation of 21 immovable bones and 1 movable bone (the mandible)
- The 21 immovable bones are divided into 8 paired bones and 5 unpaired bones
Paired Bones
- Parietal bones
- Temporal bones
- Zygomatic bones
- Maxillary bones
- Nasal bones
- Lacrimal bones
- Inferior concha
- Palatine bones
Unpaired Bones
- Frontal bone
- Sphenoid bone
- Ethmoid bone
- Vomer
- Occipital bone
Skull Divisions
- Cranium: The upper and posterior part of the skull that encloses the brain
- Facial Skeleton: The anterior part of the skull, divided into a fixed upper part and a movable lower part
Skull Views
- Norma frontalis (from the front)
- Norma occipitalis (from the back)
- Norma verticalis (from the top)
- Norma lateralis (from the side)
- Norma basalis (from the base)
- Sutures: Lines where bones meet (e.g., coronal, sagittal, lambdoid)
- Fontanelles: Soft spots in the infant skull (e.g., anterior, posterior)
Bony Orbit
- A pyramidal space with a base, apex, and four walls
- Roof: Orbital plate of the frontal bone
- Floor: Orbital surface of the maxilla and zygomatic bone
- Medial wall: Lacrimal bone and orbital plate of the ethmoid bone
- Lateral wall: Zygomatic bone and greater wing of the sphenoid bone
Mandible
- The mandible is the only movable bone in the skull
- It has a body, a ramus, condyle, and coronoid process
- The body has an outer and inner surface
- The ramus has a mandibular notch and the coronoid and condyle processes
Other Bones and Features
- Specific terms like glabella, nasion, and other sutures were highlighted throughout the images.
- Various foramina, fossae, and eminences were mentioned
- The X-ray image shows the frontal, ethmoid(sinus), zygomatic, and maxillary bones (sinus).
