hole in bone
Canal or Groove (Opening)
long, narrow
Notch (Opening)
indentation at bone's edge
Meatus (Opening)
enters, but does not pass through structure
Articular Facets (Smooth)
bone to bone smooth area of contact
Long Bones
length is greater than width
curved to absorb stress
mostly dense, compact
ex. femur, tibia, fibula, humerus
Short Bones
length equals width
"cube shaped"
spongy bone surrounded by compact bone
ex. carpal and tarsal bones
Flat bones
thin
ex. sternum, ribs, scapulae, cranial bones
Irregular bones
complex shapes
ex. vertebrae and facial bones
Sesamoid Bones
"seed" shape
develop in certain tendons
ex. patella
Parietal Bones
form the greater portion of the sides and roof of the cranial cavity
Temporal Bones
form the inferior lateral aspects of the cranium
landmarks: external auditory meatus, mandibular fossa, mastoid process
Frontal Bone
forehead, roofs of the orbits, anterior part of cranial floor
landmarks: glabella, supraorbital margin, superciliary arch
Occipital Bone
forms the posterior part and base of the cranium
Landmarks: external occipital protuberance, nuchal lines, condyles, foramen magnum
Sphenoid Bone
lies at the middle part of the base of a skull; articulates with all cranial bones
Landmarks: greater wings, lesser wings, body, sella turcica
Ethmoid Bone
light, sponge like at the midline in the anterior part of the cranial floor
Landmarks: cribriform plates, crista galli, superior/middle nasal conchae
Coronal Suture
unites the frontal bone and the 2 parietal bones
Sagittal Suture
unites the 2 parietal bones on the midline
Squamosal Suture
unites the parietal and temporal bones
Bregma
anterior skull- intersection of sagittal and coronal suture
Lambda
posterior skull- crossing or sagittal and lambdoidal sutures
Inferior nasal Conchae
scroll like bones that form a part of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity
Lacrimal Bone
portion of medial orbital wall; smallest bones of the face, contains the lacrimal foramen fossa (tear duct passes through this)
Nasal Bone
meet at the midline and form the bridge of the nose
zygomatic bone
"cheekbones"
form the prominences of the cheeks and part of the lateral wall of each orbit
Maxillae
unite to form the upper jawbone; articulate with every bone of the face except for the mandible
Palatine Bone
posterior 1/4 of the hard palate; small portion of the floors of the orbits
Vomer
triangular shaped bone; divides the nose into right and left sides
