Study Notes

Skull Structure and Aspects

The skull, the head's bony framework, encloses the brain, houses sensory organs (sight, hearing, taste, smell), and surrounds entrances to the digestive and respiratory systems.
The orbitomeatal plane (Frankfurt plane) defines the skull's orientation, with the inferior orbit and superior acoustic meatus aligned horizontally.
"Cranium" is often used to refer to the skull excluding the mandible; it also designates the brain-containing portion.
The skull's superior part is the calvaria (cranial vault/braincase).
The facial skeleton comprises the rest of the skull, including the maxilla (upper jaw), orbits, and nasal cavities.
"Skullcap" (calotte) refers to the calvaria's superior part, typically removed during autopsies.
The cranial base is the skull's inferior aspect.

Anterior Aspect

The anterior aspect encompasses the calvaria's front and the facial skeleton.
Key features include: the frontal bone (forehead), orbits (eye sockets), zygomatic bones (cheekbones), anterior nasal apertures (nostrils), maxillae (upper jaw), and mandible (lower jaw).
The anterior view is divisible into five areas: frontal, orbital, maxillary, nasal, and mandibular.

Posterior Aspect

Dominated by the paired parietal bones and the occipital bone, forming a rounded or ovoid shape.
The occipital area's most prominent feature is the occipital protuberance (external occipital protuberance).
The inion is the high point of the external occipital protuberance and a useful landmark.
Nuchal lines define the posterior neck's upper boundary, showing muscle attachment points (e.g., semispinalis capitis).
The posterior aspect also exhibits the sagittal and lambdoid sutures intersecting at the lambda point.

Superior Aspect

This aspect is also rounded or ovoid, broadening posteriorly with parietal eminences.
The superior aspect features: superciliary arches (frontal bone), zygomatic arches, and four bones united by sutures (frontal, parietal, and occipital, joined using coronal/sagittal/lambdoid sutures), specifically parietal/parietal via sagittal, parietal/frontal via coronal, parietal/occipital via lambdoid; and their intersections forming important reference points (bregma, vertex).
Parietal foramina connect within-skull veins to those outside.

Inferior Aspect (Cranial Base)

The inferior skull's maxillae (upper jaw), bony palate, and maxillary teeth are visible from this angle.
Zygomatic arches curve posteriorly.
The cranial base appears irregular due to foramina, processes (projections), and articulations.
Lateral parts feature temporal bones with prominent mastoid and styloid processes.
The foramen magnum, a significant hole, is bordered by occipital condyles for articulation with the first vertebra (atlas). The brain stem (medulla oblongata) passes here and connects to the spinal cord.
The cranial base's fragility leads to frequent fracture occurrences.

Lateral Aspect

This aspect combines calvaria (large, ovoid) and facial skeleton (smaller, uneven).
Calvaria is made up by parts of: frontal; sphenoid and parietal bones on the sides and occipital bone posteriorly.
The pterion is a critical clinical landmark where 4 bones articulate.
Other important elements include: the external acoustic meatus (auditory canal), zygomatic bone, zygomatic arch, mastoid process.
The mandible's ramus, body, coronoid process, head, and neck visible on the side.
The mastoid process prominence varies with age and muscularity.
The mental protuberance is usually a clear feature of this side view, easily palpable.
