🗑
show Ethmoid; Sphenoid; R. & L. Temporal  
🗑
What is the composition of the Calvarium Bones:   show
🗑
What are the 3 regions of the Floor of the Skull? How are they divided?   show
🗑
What is the thickest part of the skull & found on what bone?   show

🗑
show No. They articulate with each other, a strip of maxilla, & the frontal bone  
🗑
show The 2 Maxilla bones  
🗑
What bones comprise our cheek bones?   show
🗑
show The nasal conchae warm/cool the air--look like scrolls The Inferior Nasal Conchae are considered facial bones (while the Mid & Superior are considered Cranial--part of Spheniod bone)  
🗑
show Just anterior to the soft palate ("L" shaped)  
🗑
show Meets with the Maxilla in the front & the Ethmoid Perpendicular Plate in the back  
🗑
What are the classifications of sutures?   show
🗑
What are sutures?   show
🗑
What are the 5 main sutures of the skull?   show
🗑
What are the 6 Sutural Junctions?   show
🗑
show Areas of incomplete ossification in Infant skulls (soft spots). 6 Total at the suture junctions  
🗑
At what age is Adult cranial size usually reached?   show
🗑
At what age range is the skull developing?   show
🗑
show Anterior (Bregma) Posterior (Lambda) 2 Mastoid (Asterion) 2 Sphenoidal (Pterion)  
🗑
show Metopic--extends vertically along midline of frontal bone; 2 Mendosal--pass obliquely upward on the back of the occipital bone  
🗑
What does it mean if an infant's fontanels are sunken in?   show
🗑

🗑
What is Craniostosis ("Cloverleaf")?   show
🗑

🗑
show Extends from the anterior frontal bone to the lesser wings of the sphenoid. Houses the frontal lobes of cerebrum  
🗑
show Extends from the lesser wings of the sphenoid to the apices of the petrous ridges/pyramids (part of temporal bone). It houses the temporal lobes (lots of foramen, cortex, pituatary gland)  
🗑
show A deep depression posterior to the petrous ridges. It protects the cerebellum, pons, & medulla oblongata (where spinal cord passes).
