Anatomy - Maser
Name | Description |
---|---|
Skull | cranial, facial and skull bones |
Cranial bones | cranium; attachment of head muscles; protect brain |
Facial bones | sense organ cavities; openings for air/food; insert teeth; anchor facial muscles |
Number of Teeth | 32 full set |
Skull bones | mostly flat, thin with curvature; sutured with interlocking joints |
Cranial cavity | brain |
Paranasal sinuses | bones with air filled areas |
Foramina/Canals/Fissures | openings for spinal cord, blood vessels, nerves |
Frontal bone | superior walls of orbits |
Frontal squama | forehead |
Glabella | smooth frontal bone between orbits |
Frontal sinuses | lateral to glabella |
Parietal bones | stop at ear; superior and lateral skull |
Cranial Articulation Sutures | coronal, sagittal, lambdoidal, squamosal |
Coronal articulation suture | parietals - frontal (anterior) |
Sagittal articulation suture | parietal - parietal (midline) |
Lambdoidal articulation suture | parietals - occipital (posterior) |
Squamosal articulation suture | parietal - temporal (lateral) |
Occipital bone | posterior wall & base of skull; supports cerebellum; foramen magnum in base; connects medulla oblongata to spinal cord; two occipital condyles are articulation point with atlas (c1) |
Occipital condyles | articulation point with atlas |
Temporal Bones | inferior to parietals |
Zygomatic process | bar-like extension meets with zygomatic & mandible; within the temporal bones |
Tympanic region | external ear canal = auditory meatus; within temporal bone |
Auditory meatus | ear canal; within temporal bone |
Jugular foramen | for jugular vein; within temporal bone |
Carotid canal | for carotid artery; within temporal bone |
Sphenoid bone | cranial keystone - articulates with all cranials |
Sella turcica | encloses pituitary gland; within the sphenoid bone |
Optic foramina | passage for optic nerves & arteries; within the sphenoid bone |
Ethmoid bone | between nasal cavity and orbit |
Olfactory foramina | for olfactory nerves |
Mandible | lower jaw - anchors teeth; the body - chin |
Mandibular symphysis | midline depression; fuse 2 mandibular bones in infancy |
Maxillary bones = Maxillae | upper jaw; articulates with all face bones except mandible; part of hard palate |
Hard palate | bony foof of mouth |
Zygomatic Bone | cheek bones; inferior part of orbits |
Nasal bones | fused from bridge of nose, attach to cartilage of external nose |
Lacrimal bones | medial wall of orbits |
Lacrimal fossa | passage for tears to drain into nasal cavity |
Palatine bone | complete posterior of hard palate |
Vomer | part of nasal septum |
Anterior Longitudinal Ligament | attaches to bony vertebrae & discs |
Posterior Longitudinal Ligament | attaches only to discs (weaker) |
Vertebral Ligaments | support vertebral column |
Intervertebral Discs | cushion pads with semi-fluid pulposus; strong outer ring of fibrocartilage |
Herniated discs | slipped disc |
Cervical curvature | concave |
Thoracic curvature | convex |
Lumbar curvature | concave |
Sacral curvature | convex |
Scoliosis | lateral curvature of thoracic region |
Kyphosis | hunchback; exaggerated convex thoracic |
Lordosis | swayback; accentuated concave lumbar |
Anterior centrum | weight-bearing body of vertebrae |
Intervertabral foramina | openings between vertebrae; passage of spinal nerves leaving spinal cord |
Cervical Vertebrae | C1 - C7 |
Atlas | C1; no vertebral disc between atlas/axis; no body; articulates with chondyles of skull |
Atlas movement | for pivoting head movement (nod "yes") |
Axis | C2; does have a body |
Odontoid process | to rotate atlas |
Axis movement | for side to side movement (say "no") |
Thoracic Vertebrae | T1 - T2; articulate with ribs; increase in size |
Lumbar Vertebrae | L1 - L5; small of back; receive the most stress; sturdier and more massive structures |
Sacrum | S1-S5; posterior wall of pelvis;lateral articulation with 2 hip bones; 5 fused bones in adulthood |
Sacroiliac joints | articulation of sacrum and hip bones |
Sacral Foramina | opening for blood vessels & nerves |
Coccyx | vestigial, nearly useless tail bones; 4 fused bones (sometimes 3 or 5) |
Bony Thorax | protective cage of vertebrae/ribs/sternum/costal cartilage |
Sternum | breast bone; fusion of 3 bones |
Manubrium | superior part of sternum; articulates with clavicles and first pair of ribs |
Sternum body | large middle part; articulates with cartilage of rib 2-7 |
Xiphoid process | inferior part of sternum; attachment site for diaphragm & abdominal muscles |
True ribs | vertebrosternal ribs (1-7); attach direct to sternum by costal cartilage |
False ribs | ribs 8-12 |
Vertechondral ribs | pairs 8-10; attach to ribs above (not to sternum); attach cartilage to cartilage |
Vertebral ribs | floating ribs (11-12); no anterior attachment; costal cartilage embedded into muscle |
