The frontal bone.

Front 18

Where is the palatine process, since it's not seen from the anterior or lateral views of the maxilla?

Back 18

It's part of the hard palate, which, the anterior three quarters of the hard palate. It can only be seen from the superior view.

Front 19

Describe the nasal bones.

Back 19

These are two small plates of bone. They are paired. This forms the bridge of the nose.

Front 20

What is the shape of the palatine bones and where are they located?

Back 20

They're two L shaped bones. The horizontal plates that come down contribute to the floor of the nasal cavity and the roof of the mouth.

Front 21

What do the palatine bones articulate with?

Back 21

The palatine process of the maxilla

Front 22

Clarify the difference between where the palatine process is and the palatine bone.

Back 22

Palatine bones are one quarter in the posterior back part of the hard palate. The palatine process of the maxilla is the is the anterior three quarters of the hard palate.

Front 23

What bones are the smallest facial bones?

Back 23

The lacrimal bones.

Front 24

Where are the lacrimal bones found?

Back 24

They form the medial wall of the orbital cavity. The orbital cavity is what some say the eye socket.

Front 25

Picture the zygomatic bones and where to find the three processes, temporal, frontal and maxillary. Check picture on answer slide to see if you're right.

Back 25

Front 26

What bones have important muscles of matication and articulation on it?

Back 26

The zygomatic bones

Front 27

The inferior nasal conchae consists of three conchaes. What are they?

Back 27

Superior, medial and inferior conchaes.

Front 28

What bones make up the lateral wall of the nasal cavity?

Back 28

Inferior nasal conchae.

Front 29

Describe the vomer bone and it's location.

Back 29

An unpaired thin quadrilateral plate. This makes up the inferior half of the bony nasal septum. This articulates inferiorly with the maxillae and the palatine bone. And superiorly with the ethmoid and sphenoid.

Front 30

Name the 5 sutures in the skull.

Back 30

1. coronal
2. sagittal
3. lambdoidal
4. squamosal
5. occipitomastoid

Front 31

What is a foramen?

Back 31

A natural opening through the bone.

Front 32

What is a fossa?

Back 32

It is a pit, a depression, or concavity on a bone or formed from several bones.

Front 33

Name the 8 bones of the cranium.

Back 33

ethmoid, frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid
