The skull consists of _ bones

21 (22 if you count the mandible)

The skull is joined by ____ and is a _____ joint

Sutures , immovable

_ bones form the cranium

8

Foramina

Passageways for cranial nerves and blood vessels

The cranium is formed by

-frontal bone


-2 parietal bones


-occipital bone


-2 temporal bones


-sphenoid bone


-ethmoid bone

Frontal bone forms :

Anterior superior portion of cranium , forehead, upper parts of eye orbits, roof of nasal cavity

(In frontal bone) Supraorbital foramen:

Opening above each eye orbit, can be reduced-then called supraobital notch

Forms roof and sides of the cranium, posterior to the frontal bone

Parietal bone

Parietal bone is joined to the frontal bone by

Coronal suture

Parietal bone is joined to each other at superior midline by

Sagittal suture

Posterior inferior portion of the skull

Occipital bone

Occipital bone is joined to the parietal bone by

Lambdoidal suture

The floor of this contains foramen magnum

Occipital bone

Processes on either side of foramen magnum

Occipital condyles

Where skull articulates with C1 atlas

Occipital condyles

Located just below parietal bones on either side of cranium

Temporal bones

Temporal bones are joined to parietal bones by

Squamosal suture

Temporal bone articulates posteriorly with occipital bone by

Lambdoidal suture

Ear components located here

External auditory meatus (above styloid process)

-anterior to auditory meatus


-where mandible articulates

Mandibular fossa

Formed by an articulation of mandibular condyles with mandibular fossa

Temporomandibular joint

Anterior extension that articulates with cheekbone

Zygomatic process

-slender, spine like process


-extends downward below auditory meatus

Styloid process

-rounded eminence


-inferior and posterior to auditory canal

Mastoid process

-narrow openings just medial to styloid processes


-at junction of temporal and occipital bones

Jugular foramina

Anterior to jugular foramina

Carotid canal

Opening on the thick, sloping portion of temporal bone

Internal auditory meatus

-consists of a central body and 2 wing like structures that extend laterally


-forms part of the floor of the cranium

Sphenoid bone

Foramen ovale

Saddle shaped structure formed by the central body of the sphenoid bone

Sells Turcica

Located on each side in anterior portion of sells Turcica, opening that allows passage of the optic nerve

Optic foramina

Forms part of the roof of the nasal cavity and part of the medial surface of the orbit and closes the anterior portion of the cranium, consists of perpendicular plate and cribiform plate

Ethmoid bone

Oval openings on each side of the sphenoid bone

Foramen ovale

Saddle shaped structure formed by the central body of the sphenoid bone

Sells Turcica

Located on each side in anterior portion of sells Turcica, opening that allows passage of the optic nerve

Optic foramina

Forms part of the roof of the nasal cavity and part of the medial surface of the orbit and closes the anterior portion of the cranium, consists of perpendicular plate and cribiform plate

Ethmoid bone

Extends downward, forms most of the nasal septum

Perpendicular plate

Oval openings on each side of the sphenoid bone

Foramen ovale

Saddle shaped structure formed by the central body of the sphenoid bone

Sells Turcica

Located on each side in anterior portion of sells Turcica, opening that allows passage of the optic nerve

Optic foramina

Forms part of the roof of the nasal cavity and part of the medial surface of the orbit and closes the anterior portion of the cranium, consists of perpendicular plate and cribiform plate

Ethmoid bone

Extends downward, forms most of the nasal septum

Perpendicular plate

Makes up the superior portion of the ethmoid bone, contain numerous olfactory foramina, contains crista galli

Cribriform plate

Projects upward into the cranial cavity between the cribiform plates
