Ward- dev of skull

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Viscerocranium   show
🗑
Neurocranium   show
🗑
Skull base   show
🗑
show 1.Basioccipital. 2.Basisphenoid. 3.Preshnoid. 4.Mesethmoid. **All formed by endochondral ossification of the mesenchyme from sclerotome of somites  
🗑
show It takes place over time, elongation at the epiphyseal growth plates. Causes the Jaw to elongate inferiorly and the face to grow larger.  
🗑
show Neotony is the retention of child-like features. Since the facial bones and cranial base rely on endochondrial ossification to grow, the face will remain smaller in protion to the head and will resemble that of a child. (due to early growth plate closure)  
🗑
show Direct ossification of embryological tissue. Forms spongy trabecular bone (highly vascular) sandwiched b/w two Lamellar bones and is one reason the skull is so much larger than the face in infants.  
🗑
Sphenobasilar Synchondrosis   show
🗑
Bones formed from Intramembranous ossification   show
🗑
show Grow through intramembranous ossification from a center of ossification outwards until they hit eachother.  
🗑
show Once the fronts of the two bones in contact overlap, signals from the dura below stabilize the sutures while other signals thicken the cranial bones. Suture then communicates to the dura underneath to stop osteogenic signals.  
🗑
Areas of bone growth and resorption   show
🗑
show Sutures remained packed with CT throughout life allowing flex. However, they can ossify in old age.  
🗑
What happens if there is a lack of signals from the dura or sutures during suture formation?   show
🗑
show Coronal, sagittal, lambdoid, squamous, and metopic.  
🗑
Fontanels in neonate/child   show
🗑
show Head growing abnormally parallel to the affeted suture.  
🗑
show in 85% of adults, it fuses, creating one singal frontal bone.  
🗑
show Premature fusion of the metopic suture which results in a triangular forehead. Causes transverse growth restriction, parallel growth expansion  
🗑
Scaphocephaly   show
🗑
show Many suture involved, causes a flattening of the skull.  
🗑
Adult sutures   show
🗑
Dural Structures involved in dural strains   show
🗑
show Connects middle ear/ mastoid air cells with nasopharynx. Begin horizontal and end more vertical.  
🗑
