|
|
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

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
