| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Arch | prominent bridge-like bony structure |
| Canal | opening in bone that is long, narrow, and tube-like |
| Plate | flat structure of bone |
| Meatus | opening or canal in bone |
| Suture | generally immovable articulation in which bones are joined by fibrous tissue |
| Frontal bone | area from the eyes to the top of the skull |
| Small lacrimal bone | forms inner or medial corner of the eye cavity |
| Inferior nasal conchae | found in the lower, lateral portions of the nasal cavity |
| Coronal or Frontal-Parietal Suture | between the frontal and parietal bones |
| Lambdoid or Parietal-occipital Suture | forms an inverted "V" |
| Squamosal Suture | within the temporal fossa |
| Mastoid Process | mastoid projection on the temporal bone just behind the external auditory meatus |
| Zygomatic Process | the zygomatic process of the temporal bone and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone make up the zygomatic arch |
| Styloid Process | the styloid process for the attachment of muscles and ligaments of the neck |
| Foramen Ovale | in the sphenoid bone, transmits the fifth cranial nerve to the lower jaw |
| Foramen Spinosum | poster to foramen oval, transmits meningeal artery |
| Carotid Canals | openings for internal carotid arteries, poserior to foramen ovale and spinosum |
| Foramen Lacerum | opening in floor of carotid canal, filled with cartilage |
| Ethmoid bone | contributes to the formation of the orbit, nasal cavity, nasal septum and the floor of the anterior cranial fossa |
| Sphenoid Bone | helps form the base and lateral sides of the skull in combination with the orbital |
| Temporal bone | forms the external auditory canal, houses the cockles, canals, and hearing organs |
| Maxillae | consists of a body and four processes; the frontal, zygomatic, alveolar, and horizontal |
| Frontal process of the maxillary bone | maxillary projection that meets that meets the frontal bone |
| Zygomatic process of the maxillary bone | maxillary projection that meets the zygomatic bone |
| Alveolar process of the maxillary bone | forms the sockets for the upper teeth |
| Horizontal Palatine Process | forms most of the hard palate |
| Maxillary Sinuses | largest and most paranasal sinus |
| Maxillary Tuberosity | behind the third molar, area where blood vessels and nerves enter bone, also where most maxillary growth happens |
| Median Palatine Suture | the midline that shows the fusion of the hard palate |
| Hiatus/Ostium of the maxillary sinus | the maxillary sinus opening into the nasal cavity |
| Mental Foramen | a pathway for mental blood vessels and nerves for the lower lip and chin |
| Mandibular Angle | point where the inferior border of the mandible turns upward; ; divides the body and ramus |
| Mandibular Condyle | articulates with the temporal bones |
| Condylar Neck | slightly narrowed area just beneath the condyle |
| Coronoid notch or Mandibular notch | depression in the ramus |
| Coronoid process | attachment for muscles of mastication (involved in the TMJ) |
| External Oblique Line | anterior border of the ramus |
| Mandibular Foramen | midway up the ramus; where nerves and blood vessels for lower (mandibular) teeth and lip enter. it is located on the medial ramus |
| Mylohyoid Line | allows passage for mylohyoid nerves and vessels |
| Sublingual and Submandibular fossae | depressions in the bone where salivary glands lie |
| Retromolar Triangle | area immediately behind the third molars |
| Lingula | a projection of the bone that partially covers the opening; point of for attachment sphenomandibular ligament |
| Function of the Sinuses | lighten weight of the bone in the head and face, act as sound resonators, and provide mucous for the nasal cavity |
| Maxillary Sinuses | largest of the paranasal sinuses, open into the posterior end of the hiatus semilunaris |
| The External Fossae | temporal, infratemporal, and pterygopalatine |
| List the four paranasal sinuses | maxillary, frontal, ethmoidal, and sphenoidal |
| Foramen | an opening inside the body that allows key structures (nerves, arteries, veins, & muscles) to connect to other structures |
| How many foramen are in the human skull | 21 |
| Frontal Sinuses | above the eyes |
| Ethmoid Air Cells | between the eyes |
| Sphenoid Sinuses | on the lateral of the nose & anterior to the ear |
| Maxillary Sinuses | the largest sinus, below the eyes & above the teeth |
| What is the function of the sinuses? | to lighten the weight of bone in the head/face, act as sound resonators, and provide mucous for the nasal cavity. |
| What are the three external fossa? | temporal, infra-temporal, and pterygopalatine |
| Craniosyntosis | cranial sutures closer permanently (causes uneven skull, treated w/ helmets) |
| Tori | benign oral growth on the labial side (mostly bilateral) |
| Exotosis | extra bone growth on the buccal or facial side |
| Cleft lip/palate | when a baby’s palate/lips do not form properly |
| Osteonecrosis | breakdown/loss of a small segment of the jawbone |
| Fibrous Dysplasia | extra bone growth |
| Oseosarcoma | bone cancer that usually develops in bone-forming cells |
| Periodontist | a doctor who specializes in treating gum diseases |
| Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon | a surgeon specializing in the maxillofacial area |
| Oral Maxillofacial Radiologist | a radiologist that preforms scans for the mouth face, mouth, and jaw |
| Oral Pathologist | a doctor who specializes in oral diseases and cancer |
