    Study Notes

    Skull and Cranial Cavity Module 202 - Lecture 1 Summary

    • Module 202 Anatomy consists of 4 lectures and 4 DR sessions.
    • The lectures cover topics such as the skull, cranial cavity, face, temporal and infratemporal fossa, the orbit and nasal cavity, and the neck and oral cavity.
    • There are additional optional DR sessions for brain removal and face and neck dissection.
    • Students can redeem a free Complete Anatomy Student licence for the module.
    • Slido Q&A is available for students to post anonymous anatomy-related questions.
    • The scalp is composed of skin, connective tissue, aponeurosis, loose connective tissue, and periosteum.
    • Lacerations to the scalp bleed profusely due to the inability of the dense connective tissue layer to retract.
    • The skull is divided into the neurocranium and viscerocranium, which join at sutures.
    • The neurocranium includes bones such as the frontal and ethmoid bones.
    • The viscerocranium includes bones such as the palatine, zygoma, and mandible.
    • The skull contains cranial foramina through which veins, cranial nerves, and arteries enter and exit.
    • The blood supply to the head, neck, and brain is provided by the internal carotid artery, vertebral artery, and the cerebral arterial circle (Circle of Willis).
