Axial Skeleton
Bones of the Skull
The Skull: Two Sets of Bones
• The Cranium:
• Facial:
Cranium = 3 Sutures
Three Sutures
• Coronal• Sagittal• Lamboidal
Cranium = 8 Bones
• Frontal = 1• Parietal = 2• Temporal = 2• Occipital = 1• Sphenoid = 1• Ethmoid = 1
Frontal = #1(single)
Parietal = #2 (Pair)
Temporal = #4 (pair)
Bone Markings of the Temporal Bone
External Acoustic Meatus
• Canal that leads to the eardrum
Bone Markings of the Temporal Bone
Styloid Process
• Needle-like projection
• The site of muscle attachment for many neck muscles
Bone Markings of the Temporal Bone
Zygomatic Arch
• The bridge that joins with the cheek bone
Bone Markings of the Temporal Bone
Mastoid ProcessRough projection
posterior and inferior to the acoustic meatus
Filled with air cavaties called mastoid sinuses
Attachment site for neck muscles
Bone Markings of the Temporal Bone
• Openings:
• Jugular Foramen
• Carotid Canal
Occipital = #3 (single)
Bone Markings of the Occipital Bone
• Foramen Magnum
• Large opening that allows the spinal cord to connect with the brain
Bone Markings of the Occipital Bone
• Occipital Condyles
• Rest on the first vertebra of the spinal column
Sphenoid
• Butterfly shaped, spans the width of the skull
Markings of the Sphenoid
• Stella Turcica: “Turk’s Saddle” that holds the pituitary gland
• Foramen Ovale: Oval opening that allows Cranial Nerve V to pass to the chewing muscle
Ethmoid
Features of the Ethmoid
• Crista Galli: “Cock’s Comb” where the brain covering attaches
• Cribiform Plate: Nerves carrying olfactory receptors
Extensions of Ethmoid Bone
• Superior and Middle Nasal Conchae
• Form lateral walls of the nasal cavity
Facial Bones
• Maxillae (2 Fused)• Palatine (Paired)• Zygomatic• Lacrimal• Nasal• Vomer• Inferior Nasal
Conchae• Mandible
Maxillae
• Upper Jaw
• All facial bones except the mandible join the maxillae
• Carry the upper teeth
Palatine Bones
• Paired bones form the posterior part of the hard palate
Zygomatic Bones
• The cheekbones
• Form the eye sockets
Lacrimal Bones
• Medial walls of the orbit (eye socket) with a groove for tears (lacrima = tear)
Nasal Bones = #4
Vomer Bone
Inferior Nasal Conchae
Mandible
Hyoid Bone
• Not included with skull• Closely related to the
mandible• Does not articulate
(suspended)• Base for tongue
movement• Attachment for neck
muscles• Not the Adam’s Apple,
that is the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx
