It is an irregular unpaired bone that consists of a body and three pairs of processes: greater wings, lesser wings, and pterygoid processes. | sphenoid bone |
where does the pituitary gland sit | turk's saddle |

what bone forms the prominence of the cheek. | zygomatic bones |
Eachzygomatic bone has a projecting process that unites with a similar process of the temporal bone to form the | zygomatic arch. |
what bones form the bridge of the nose | The nasal bones |
toothbearing bones of upper jaw | Maxillae |
the maxilla and the palatine bone forms what structure that separates the nasal and the oral cavity | hard palate |
Lacrimal bones are located here | the medial wall of the orbit |
rami of the mandible articulate with what bone | the temporal bone |
the chin is most associated with this structure | Mental protuberance |
what bones make up the rim of the orbital socket | frontal, zygomatic, and maxillary bones |
what bones make up the interior portion of the orbital socket | lacrimal, ethmoid, palatine, and shenoid bones |
the nasal septum is made up by the inferior and posterior vomer bone and what part of the ethmoid bone | perpendicular plate |
the roof of the nasal cavity is made up of what structure of the ethmoid bone | cribiform plate |
the function of the superior, middle and the inferior conchae is to | to clean and warm air |
fibrous joints in the scull in which the surfaces of the bones entering the joint are united by fibrous connective tissue. | Sutures |
suture located in the midline, running in an anteroposterior direction between the parietal bones. | Sagittal suture |
suture that marks the juncture between the parietal bones and the frontal bone. | Coronal suture |
suture that is apparent laterally between the temporal and parietal bones. | Squamous suture |
suture that is posterior and lies between the parietal and occipital bones. | Lambdoid |
In the newborn infant, bones of the cranium, instead of being tightly joined by sutures, are united by membranes that are gradually converted into bone. these are called | fontanels |
this fontanel is located where the originally paired frontal bones and the two parietal bones approach each other in the midline, and is easily palpable. | anterior fontanel |
this fontanel is between the two parietal bones and the occipital bone, also palpable, but for a much shorter period of time because it closes earlier than the anterior | Posterior fontanel |
two fontanels on each lateral aspect of the skull at the juncture of the parietal, frontal, sphenoid and temporal bones | anterolateral (sphenoidal) fontanel |
fontanel that is located where the temporal, occipital and parietal bones meet | Posterolateral (mastoid) fontanel |
Facial muscles are different from other muscles because instead of moving one bone upon another, they move and are attached to primarily what | skin |
mimetic muscles is another name for what | facial muscles |
what is the name of the muscle group in the face that consists of only one muscle | platysma |
the actions of the depressor anguli oris and the depressor labii inferioris is to | which pull the corners of the mouth and the lower lip downward |
Risorius and two zygomatic muscles do what actions | pull the corners of the mouth laterally, and laterally and upward. |
Levator labii superioris and levator anguli oris do what actions | elevate the upper lip and corner of the mouth |
to pucker lips you use what muscle | Orbicularis oris |
Buccinator muscle forms the muscular part of the face | cheek |
By its contraction this muscle prevents food from collecting in the space between the cheeks and the teeth and is used in such actions as swallowing and blowing wind instruments | buccinator |
Muscles connected with the nose are primarily compressors, depressors or | dilators |
a broad muscle that surrounds the orbit and extends into both upper and lower lids is responsible for closing the lids. | Orbicularis oculi |
The upper lid is raised by a muscle within the | orbit levator palpebrae superioris |
what muscle is responsible for wrinkling the forehead | frontalis of the occipitofrontalis |
that muscle produces small vertical folds between the eyebrows that are associated with a “worried look” | Corrugator supercilii |
These muscles are rudimentary in humans and are not typically subject to voluntary control in most individuals | muscles connected with the ears |
the actions of the platysma muscle | draws the corners of the mouth and lower lip downward and laterally, as in an expression of horror |
The entire group of facial muscles, including the platysma, receives innervation from what nerve | Cranial nerve 7 |
after CN 7 round the posterior aspect of the ramus of the mandible it passes through this structure | the parotid gland |
what are the divisons of muscles that are responsible for movements of the eyeball | rectus and oblique muscles |
what muscle directs the pupil downward and laterally, | superior oblique |
what is the action of the inferior oblique muscle | directs pupil upward and laterally |
All of these muscles, with the exception one arise from or close to a tendinous ring placed as the apex (posterior end) of the orbit. what is that muscle | inferior oblique |
what muscles work in conjunction to turn pupil upward and raise eyelid further | superior oblique and levator plapebrae |
voluntary lateral movement of the eyeball is innervated by what cranial nerve | CN 6 |
voluntary superior rotation of the eyeball is innervated by wht cranial nerve | CN 4 |
masseter, temporalis, lateral pterygoid and the medial pterygoid muscles are all responsible for what action | mastication |
