LIST CRANIAL BONES
ethmoid, frontal, occiput, parietal (2), sphenoid, temporal (2)
LIST FACIAL BONES
inferior nasal concha (2), lacrimal (2), mandible, maxilla (2), nasal (2), palatine (2), vomer, zygomatic (2)
small, superficial bump located in the center of the occiput
external occipital protuberance
faint ridges with extend laterally to the mastoid processes; attachments for the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, and splenius capitis
Superior Nuchal Lines
large opening at the base of the skull for the spinal cord
Foramen Magnum
articulates with the superior facets of the atlas to form the atlanto-occipital joint
Occipital Condyles
broad depression located on the temporal bone; origin for the temporalis
Temporal Fossa
external ear canal
External Acoustic Meatus
cheekbone; bridge between the temporal and zygomatic bones
Zygomatic Arch
insertion for the sternocleidomastoid
Mastoid Process
located on the temporal bone; articulates with the mandibular condyle to form the temporomandibular joint
Mandibular Fossa
located on the mandible; also called the condyle of the temporomandibular joint; articulates with the mandibular fossa to form the temperomandibular joint
Mandibular Condyle
ATLAS
C1
AXIS
C2
UNIQUE FEATURE OF CERVICAL VERTEBRAE
transverse foramen
primary weight bearing structure of the vertebral column; usually separated by intervertebral discs
Body
lateral projections found on most vertebrae
Transverse Process
opening in the transverse process; unique to the cervical vertebrae; the vertebral artery passes through the tranverse foramen of C1-C7 connecting supplying blood to the base of the brain by connecting to the basilar artery
Transverse Foramen
posterior projection found on most vertebrae
Spinous Process
bridge between the body and the transverse process
Pedicle
bridge between the transverse process and the spinous process
Lamina
articulates with the vertebrae above
Superior Facets
articulates with the vertebrae below
Inferior Facets
opening for the spinal cord
Vertebral Foramen
opening for the spinal nerve roots laterally between adjacent vertebrae
Intervertebral Foramen
articulates with the occipital condyles to form the atlanto-occipital joints
Superior Facets for C1
articulates with the superior facet of the axis to form the atlanto-axial joints
Inferior Facets for C1
