vessels
24
Maxillary bone
25
Vomer, Zygomatic and Lacrimal
bones
Zygomatic bone
articulates with zygomatic process of temporal
bone forming the zygomatic arch
26
Facial bones
27
Mandible
Body- horizontal portion
Ramus-vertical portion
Mandibular condyle- articulates with temporal
bone
Coronoid process
Angle
Alveolar margin- with sockets for the teeth
Mandibular foramen – site of Novocain
injection
28
The mandible
29
The Mandible and Hyoid Bones
30
Cranial Foramens to identify
External view:
Supraorbital foramen-for blood vessels and
nerves
Infraorbital foramen-blood vessels and
nerves
Mental foramen-blood vessels and nerves
Stylomastoid foramen- nerve VII
Carotid canal-for carotid artery
External auditory meatus-leads to eardrum
Incisive fossa-for blood vessels and nerves
31
Cranial Foramens to identify
Internal view
Optic canal -for optic nerve
Superior and inferior orbital fissure
“ROS”
Rotundum- for a branch of V
Ovale-for a branch of V
Spinosum-for middle meningeal artery
32
Cranial Foramens to identify
Foramen lacerum -internal carotid
Jugular foramen -for jugular vein; IX, X,XI
cranial nerves
Internal acustic meatus -for VII,VIII
Hypoglossal canal -for XII
Foramen magnum -for spinal cord
33
The Fetal Skeleton
34
Fontanels
Anterior or frontal
Palpable for the first 1 ½ to 2 years of age
Posterior of occipital
Closes by the end of the first year of age
Mastoid
Closes by the end of the first year of age
Sphenoid
Closes by the end of the first year of age
35
Cranial bones
Frontal
It is parted
Temporal
It is incompletely ossified
Presence of ossification centers
Conical protusions on the cranial bones
36
The Vertebral Column
37
Vertebral column
7 cervical vertebrae
12 thoracic vertebrae
5 lumbar vertebrae
5 sacrum fused vetebrae
3-5 fused coccyx vertebrae
38
Vertebral column
Intervertebral discs- pads of fibrocartilage
between the vertebrae
Nucleus pulposus- central soft region
Annulus fibrosus- outer ring. Collagen fibers
Herniated disc- protusion of the nucleus
pulposus
39
Spinal curvatures
407.16
Figure
Spinal curvatures
Four spinal curves- posterior view
Primary curvatures – present at birth
Thoracic - convex
Sacral- convex
Secondary curvatures – develops
after birth
Cervical- concave
Lumbar- concave
41
Abnormal Curvatures of the Spine
42
Structure of a typical vertebra
Body- rounded portion. Anterior part
Vertebral Foramen-for the spinal cord
Transverse process
Spinous process-single and posterior
Intervertebral foramina-it is seen when 2
vertebras are put together. Passage of the
spinal nerves
43
Cervical vertebra
Transverse foraminas- only present in cervical
vertebrae
Atlas or C1
No body
Join with the head and provides for range of
motion (when you nod yes)
44
Cervical vertebra
Axis or C2
Odontoid process or dens-allows rotation of
the head (when you nod no)
45
Thoracic vertebrae
Spinous process-long and downward
Rib facet – for articulation with 1 rib
46
Lumbar vertebrae
Massive body
Short and thick and more horizontal spinous
processes
No rib facets
No transverse foramem
Superior and inferior articular processes
47
Sacrum
Medial sacral crest-remnant of the
spinous processes
Alae- formed by fusion of the
transverse processes. It articulates
with the hip bones
Sacral foramina- passage for blood
vessels and nerves
Sacral canal- continuation of the
verterbral canal
48
Sacrum and coccyx
Sacral hiatus-inferior opening of the sacral
canal
Sacral promontory- rim on the anterior and
superior part of the sacrum
Coccyx
Attached to the sacrum by ligaments
49
The bony thorax
Sternum
Manubrium-articulates with the clavicle
Body
Xiphoid process-inferior end. Made of
hyaline cartilage in children and is ossified
in adults
Jugular notch
Sternal angle-between the body and the
manubrium
50
The ribs
Tubercle – is inferior
Costal groove –depression along the inferior
side
Sternal end-articulates with sternum
51
Types of ribs
True
Ribs 1-7
Attached to the sternum through their own
cartilage
52
Types of ribs
False
8-12
8-10 are vertebrochondral ribs
Attaches to the sternum indireclty
through the cartilage of the C7
11-12 are floating ribs
No attachment to the sternum
