anterior to the mastoid process
Stylomandubular ligament attaches here to help hold mandible to skull
Stylomastoid Foramen
located between the styloid and mastoid processes
facial nerve emerges through this opening
Jungular Foramen
located between temporal and occipital bone
CN IX, X, XI exit here
Sphenoid Bone
makes up the floor of the cranium not easily seen
Greater Wings
lateral projections
forms outter wall of orbits
Foramen Rotundum
MX divisions of CN V exits
Foramen Ovale
mandibular division of CN V exits
Lesser Wings
post part of the roof of the orbits
Optic Foramen
CN II exits
Body (Sphenoid Bone)
contains the Sphenoid Sinuses
Medial and Lateral Pteryoid Processes extend from here
Pterygoid Process
project downward from body to just behind maxillae
each ahve 2 thin walls of bone that project backwards called Medial and Lateral Plates
Ptyerygoid Fossa
found between the pterygoid plates
Pterygopalatine fossa
between maxillae and pterygoid processes
an opening into an area at the back of eye
entry point for major nerves and blood vessesls to oral and nasal cavity
Ethmoid Bone
contributes to the formation of the base of the cranium, the orbits, and roof of the nose
Perpendicular Plate
forms the superior part of the nasal septum
Horizontal Plate (cribiform plate)
olfactory nerves pass through from nasal cavity to brain
Lateral masses
contain the superior and middle nasal concha
contain the Ethmoid sinuses
Occipital Bone
forms the post parts of the cranium
Lambdoidal suture
Foramen Magnum
spinal cord enters to attach to the brainstem
Occipital condyles
on eitehr side of the foramne magnum
articulate with the first vertebra of the spinal column
Viscerocranium
bones of the face
What are the 14 bones that make up the face
Mandible (1), Vomer (1), Maxillae (2), Zygomae (2), Lacrimal (2), Nasal (2), Inferior Nasal Conchae (2), Palatine (2)
Body (maxilla) has
4 processes
Alveolar Process
surrounds and supports the max teeth
forms the floor of the orbit
Frontal Bone
near nose
form the walls of the nasal cavities
Zygomatic Process
ariculates with Zygomatic Bone
form parts of the zygomatic Arch
Palatine Process
anterior hard palate
Infraorbital foramen
located inferior to orbit
Canine eminence
ridge of bone over MX canines
Canine Fossa
depression in maxilla post to eminence
Maxillary Sinus
large air space
Intrermaxillary suture
is the anterior median suture between the two maxillae
between the inferior border of the nasal aperture and the central incisor teeth
Anterior nasal spine
a protrusion of bone that juts out forward from the skull at the base of the nose.
Incisive foramen
passagway for nasoplatine nerve and pterygoid artery
Median Palatine Suture
middle of hard platae
markes joing of R and L bones of the palate
Transverse Palatine Suture
the line of junction between the processes of the maxilla and the horizontal parts
of the palatine bones that form the hard palate.
Mandible
largest strongest facial bone
only movable bone in the skull
Body (mandible)
curved horizontal portion

sypmphysis in midline
junction makring area of fusion between R and L halves of mandible

Mental protuberance tip of chin
Alveoloar process
surrounds and supports lower teeth
Mental foramen
below 2nd PM and outer surface
transmits mental nerve and mental artery
frequent site for LA
Retromolar triangle
ares immediately behind the molars
External obligue line
bony rige running downward from anterior border of ramus onto lateral alveolar process and body on outside surface
Lingual (spinous) Foramen
center inside of mandible below CI in area of genial tubercles
Genial tubercles AKA Mental Spines
small projections for muscle attachment on lingual surface of mand at the midline
Internal Oblique Line
