Skull

Front 1

Ethmoid bone

Back 1

"* Part of the boney nasal septum, eye orbit, cranial floor * Anterior to the sphenoid bone"

Front 2

Crista Galli

Back 2

"* (cock's comb) * Point of attachment for the dura matter * Anchors the brain to the skull"

Front 3

Cribiform plate

Back 3

"* Where the olfactory nerves go into the nasal canal (cranial nerve I) * posterior to the Crista galli"

Front 4

Perpendicular plate

Back 4

"* Inferior projection of the ethmoid * Forms the superior par to the nasal septum"

Front 5

Superior and Middle conchae

Back 5

"* Thin delicately coiled plates of bone extending medially from the lateral masses of the ethmoid into the nasal cavity * Make airflow through the canal more efficient, maximize the mucosa surface area to allow more filtering and warming of air"

Front 6

Lateral Masses with the Ethmoid sinuses and lateral plates

Back 6

"* Surround the perpendicular plate laterally * Make up part of the medial orbital wall

Front 7

Mandible

Back 7

"* Lower Jaw bone * Articulates with the temporal bone only"

Front 8

Mandibular Ramus

Back 8

Verticle extension of the mandible on either side

Front 9

Coronoid Process

Back 9

"* Jutting anterior portion of the ramus * Site of muscle attachment"

Front 10

Mandibular condyle

Back 10

"* Articulates with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone * aka Condylar process"

Front 11

Mandibular Notch

Back 11

The portion between the condyle and the coronoid process

Front 12

Mandibular Angle

Back 12

* Where the ramus meets the body

Front 13

Mental Foramen

Back 13

"* Prominent opening on the body * Transmits the mental blood vessels and nerves to the lower jaw"

Front 14

Mandibular Foramen

Back 14

"* Medial aspect of the ramus opening * Permits passage of dental nerves (cranial nerve V)"

Front 15

Mandibular Symphysis

Back 15

"* Anterior medial depression * Indicates point of mandibular fusion"

Front 16

Maxilla

Back 16

"* Two bones fused in a median suture * Forms the upper jawbone and parts of the orbits * Are the keystone of the skull because all bones join to it (except the mandible)"

Front 17

Palatine Process

Back 17

"* Hard palate in the mouth * Meet in the middle for the intermaxillary suture"

Front 18

Infraorbital Foramen

Back 18

"* Opening under the orbit * Carries the infraorbital nerve and blood vessels to the nasal region"

Front 19

Incisive Fossa

Back 19

"* Bilateral opening posterior to the central incisor tooth * Passage for the nasopalatine blood vessels"

Front 20

Palatine Bone

Back 20

"* Posterior to the palatine process * Forms the posterior part of the palate and part of the orbit"

Front 21

Zygomatic Bone

Back 21

* Forms the cheek bone

Front 22

Zygomatic Arch

Back 22

Zygomatic bone plus the zygomatic process

Front 23

Lacrimal Bones

Back 23

"* Forms the wall between the maxilla bone and the ethmoid, making up part of the orbital wall * Has the Lacrimal fossa which is the passage way for tears"

Front 24

Nasal Bone

Back 24

Small rectangular bones that form the bridge of the nose

Front 25

Vomer bone

Back 25

Inferior and posterior part of boney nasal septum
