L19 Head & Neck Overview I: Musculoskeletal structures Dr. Erin Stephenson [email protected] Lecture Overview Skull overview Vertebral column overview Muscle groups in the head Muscle groups in the neck Lecture Objectives Identify the bones of the head & discuss the structure of the skull & its various components Identify & describe the bones & joints of the neck Describe the curvatures of the vertebral column Describe the different muscles groups found in the head & any associated functions Describe the different muscle groups found in the neck & any associated functions Describe the general musculoskeletal organization of the adult head & neck Lecture Overview Skull overview Vertebral column overview Muscle groups in the head Muscle groups in the neck Key objective(s): Identify the bones of the head & discuss the structure of the skull & its various components Skull Overview Neurocranium Brain case Viscerocranium Facial skeleton Facial skeleton (viscerocranium) Anterior

concha x2  Palatine x2  Mandible  Vomer  Ethmoid Brain case (neurocranium) Houses the brain & Calvaria associated structures Eight bones  2 paired  4 unpaired Cranial Base Bone  Frontal  Parietal x2  Temporal x2  Occipital  Sphenoid  Ethmoid Calvaria Frontal bone Protects superior aspect of the brain Union of frontal, parietal, & occipital bones Parietal bone Occipital bone

Deep back muscle attachment sites L4 Mammillary process L5 Sacrum & coccyx Ala Anterior foramen Posterior foramen 5 fused sacral vertebrae Auricular  Lateral, intermediate, & medial crests surface  Anterior & posterior sacral foramina  Sacral hiatus Crests  Sacral horn  Ala Sacral hiatus  Auricular surface Typically, 4 fused coccygeal vertebrae Sacrum Sacral horn  Coccygeal horn Coccyx Coccygeal horn 7 cervical Vertebral column 12 thoracic 33 stacked vertebrae Functions to support body weight Bony protection for spinal cord 5 lumbar 5 Sacral 4 coccygeal Lateral Anterior Posterior Curvatures Weight distribution, shock absorption, stability Kyphoses  Primary curvatures  Thoracic & sacral regions  Anteriorly concave Lordoses  Secondary curvatures  Cervical & lumbar regions  Posteriorly concave Intervertebral joints Unite adjacent vertebrae  Intervertebral symphyses  Between vertebral bodies  Zygapophyseal joints  Between superior & inferior articular facets  Atlantoaxial joints  Between C1 & C2 The vertebral column also articulates with the skull  Atlanto-occipital joints  Between C1 & the occipital bone Lateral Anterior Posterior Intervertebral symphyses Joint between bodies of adjacent vertebrae Intervertebral discs Anulus fibrosus  Anulus fibrosus Nucleus  Outer fibrocartilage ring pulposus  Nucleus pulposus  Gelatinous central mass  Size/shape varies by region  Provide resilient deformability Zygapophyseal joints Zygapophyseal joint capsule Facet joints Between superior & inferior facets of adjacent vertebrae Permit gliding movements but limit Inferior articular flexion & extension process Superior articular process Anterior tubercle Atlantoaxial joints Dens Ligaments of median atlantoaxial joint Superior view Trio of joints between atlas & axis Median atlantoaxial joint  Between anterior arch of atlas & dens  Permit rotation Paired lateral atlantoaxial joints  Between inferior articular facets of atlas & superior articular facets of axis  Alignment of facets allows rotation but limits flexion & extension Lateral atlantoaxial joint capsule Posterior view Atlanto-occipital joints Bilateral articulations between vertebral column & skull  Occipital condyles  Superior facets of Atlas (C1) Permit flexion & extension Occipital condyle  Nodding (“yes”) motion Superior facet
