Study Notes

The Cranium

  • The cranium consists of 8 bones: Sphenoid (1), Temporal (2), Ethmoid (1), Parietal (2), Occipital (1), Frontal (1).

Frontal Bone

  • Type: Flat bone with parts including squamous, orbital, and nasal sections.
  • Location: Front section of the cranium, articulates with Parietal, Ethmoid, Lacrimal, Maxillae, Nasal, Zygomatic, and Sphenoid bones.
  • Blood Supply: Middle meningeal artery.
  • Functions:
    • Provides structural support for the skull, eye orbits, and upper face.
    • Protects the frontal lobe of the brain.
    • Facilitates facial expressions via associated musculature.

Parietal Bones

  • Type: Flat bones composed of frontal, occipital, sphenoidal, and mastoid angles.
  • Location: Articulates with frontal, occipital, temporal, and sphenoid bones.
  • Blood Supply: Middle meningeal artery.
  • Functions: Primarily provide structural integrity.

Occipital Bone

  • Type: Flat bone featuring squamous, basilar, and lateral parts.
  • Location: Articulates with parietal, temporal, sphenoid bones, and atlas vertebra.
  • Blood Supply: Middle meningeal artery.
  • Functions:
    • Offers structural support to the skull.
    • Provides attachment points for muscles.
    • Contains the foramen magnum, a crucial feature for the spinal cord.

Temporal Bones

  • Type: Irregular bones consisting of squamous, petrous, tympanic, mastoid, and styloid parts.
  • Location: Articulates with parietal, occipital, and zygomatic bones.
  • Functions: Contribute to the cranial structure and house auditory functions.
