Questions and Answers

Match the following bones with their anatomical division in the skull:

Frontal, Occipital, Parietal = Cranial roof Frontal, Sphenoid, Ethmoid, Occipital, Parietal, Temporal = Cranial base Skull = Bony structure supporting the face and protecting the brain Sutures = Unique fibrous joints in the skull

Match the following actions with their description:

Supports the face = Function of the bony structure of the skull Protects the brain = Function of the cranium Articulates with the 1st cervical vertebra, facial bones, and mandible = Function of the cranial base Unique to the skull = Characteristic of sutures

Match the following terms with their description:

Neurocranium = Encloses and protects the brain, meninges, and cerebral vasculature Viscerocranium = Anatomical division of the facial bones Calvarium = Also known as the cranial roof Sphenoid, Ethmoid, Temporal = Bones comprising the cranial base

Match the following terms with their related function:

<p>Cranial roof = Comprised of the frontal, occipital, and two parietal bones Cranial base = Comprised of the frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, occipital, parietal, and temporal bones Skull = Supports the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain Sutures = Type of fibrous joint unique to the skull</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following bones with their articulation partners:

<p>Frontal, Occipital, Parietal = Articulate with the 1st cervical vertebra (atlas) Frontal, Sphenoid, Ethmoid, Occipital, Parietal, Temporal = Articulate with the facial bones and mandible (jaw) Skull = Bones articulating with the 1st cervical vertebra, facial bones, and mandible Sutures = Articulate with the facial bones and mandible (jaw)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Skull Bones and Divisions

Cranial bones belong to the neurocranium division
Facial bones belong to the viscerocranium division
Neurocranium protects the brain
Viscerocranium forms the face

Bone Articulations

Bones articulate with each other at joints
Joints allow for movement and flexibility in the skull

Anatomical Actions

Elevation: upward movement, e.g., looking up
Depression: downward movement, e.g., looking down
Protraction: forward movement, e.g., sticking out the jaw
Retraction: backward movement, e.g., pulling in the jaw
Lateral rotation: rotating the head side to side
Medial rotation: rotating the head toward the midline

Anatomical Terms

Sagittal: relating to the midline, e.g., sagittal suture
Coronal: relating to the crown, e.g., coronal suture
Frontal: relating to the forehead
Parietal: relating to the side of the head
Occipital: relating to the back of the head
