what are the five types of cranial sutures? give an example of each
serrated: sagittal suture
squamous: squamoparietal suture
harmonic: lacrimoethmoidal suture
gomphosis: greater wing of sphenoid and body
combination (irregular)- no example given
what is beveling?
slope of a cranial articular surface in relation to the inner and outer table of bone.
what are the two classifications of joints? what does each one mean?
synarthrosis: articulation w/o a joint cavity
diarthrosis: articulation w/ a joint cavity
what are the two subcategories of synarthrosis? what differentiates the two? give an example of each.
synchondrosis: cartilaginous union -> sphenobasilar symphysis
syndesmosis: ligamentous union --> petrosphenoid ligament
what is an example of a diarthrosis joint?
temporomandibular joint
what are the three premature suture closures?
coronal suture, sagittal suture, and coronal and lambdoid sutures
what are the two physiologic motions of the SBS? what is the SBS?
sphenobasilar synchrondrosis

-Flexion/external rotation
-extension/ internal rotation
what are the midline bones? what are their motions?
sphenoid, occiput, vomer, ethmoid, sacrum

motion: Flexion and extension
what are the paired bones? what are their motions?
parietals, frontals, temporals, zygomae, maxillae, nasals, lacrimals, palatines

external and internal rotation
during cranial flexion, what does the sacrum do?
counternutates
during cranial extension, what does the sacrum do?
nutate
During cranial flexion, where do all the midline bones move? where do all the paired bones move?
midline--> move in flexion
paired--> move into external rotation
during cranial extension, where do all the midline bones move? where do all the paired bones move?
midline--> extension
paired--> internal rotation
what is the axis of motion of the sphenoid? where is it located? how does it move?
transverse axis (anterior to and on the level w/ the floor of the sella turcica). Flexion/extension
what is the axis of motion of the occiput? where is it located?how does it move?
transverse axis
located above jugular process of occiput at level of SBS
flexion/ extension
what happens to the cranial vault during flexion of the SBS?
the vault widens--> palate widens and flattens, A-P diameter decreases, superior-inferior diameter decreases, transverse diameter increases
what happens to the cranial vault during extension of the SBS?
the vault narrows -->palate heightens and narrows, A-P diameter and superior-inferior diameter increase, transverse diameter decreases
what bone influences the motion of the temporal bones?
occiput
what is the axis of motion of the temporal bones? what motions does it do?
axis: approximately through the petrous ridge and converges anteriomedially
motions: external and internal rotation
what are the axis of motion of the parietal bone? what motions does it do?
2 axis that converge anteriorly:
from a point lateral to the bregma on coronal border in posterolateral direction through the parietal eminence.

aka: forming a V with the sagittal suture inbetween the lines and the point being towards the frontal bone.

motion: external and internal rotation
what is the axis of motion of the frontal bone? what motion does it do?
roughly from center of each orbital plate through frontal eminence

motion: external and internal rotation
what are the three sacral axes? what axis are they each associated with?
superior transverse axis- respiratory axis
middle transverse axis- postural axis
inferior transverse axis- hip bone axis
what is causing the superiorposterior movement of the sacrum during cranial flexion?
the dura connecting the occiput and sacrum. when the occiput externally rotates it pulls the dura up and in with it causing the sacrum to move up and out.
