Lesser wing
optic foramen
what is this?
ethmoid bone
where is the ethmoid bone?
what does it form?
between the orbital cavities
it forms lateral walls and roof nasal cavity
what are the features of the ethmoid bone, where is it, what does it form, what are its functions?
between the orbital cavities
forms lateral walls and roof nasal cavity
Cribriform plate and crista galli
Ethmoid air cells form ethmoid sinus
Perpendicular plate forms part of nasal septum
Middle concha turbinates air on lateral wall
which concha does the ethmoid bone host?
it is home to the superior and middle concha
what does the perpendicular plate of ethmoid home form?
the nasal septum
which septum does the vomer support?
the inferior half of the nasal septum
what anterior facial feature does vomer support?
it supports the nasal cartilage
what is this?
the nasal bone
what does the nasal bone do?
it forms the bridge of the nose and supports cartilages of nose, also, often gets fractured
Inferior Nasal Conchae
a separate bone
not part of ethmoid like the superior and middle concha
zygomatic bones - where is it, what is it formed by?
forms angles of the cheekbones and part of lateral orbital wall
Zygomatic arch is formed from temporal process of zygomatic bone and zygomatic process of temporal bone
what does the lacrimal bone form?
it forms part of medial wall of each orbit, and the lacrimal foramen (drains tears into nasal cavity?)
what does the maxillary bone form?
forms upper jaw
alveolar sockets hold teeth
forms inferior medial wall of orbit
forms anterior part of hard palate
what are the features of the maxillary bone?
infraorbital foramen
incisive foramen
palatine process
cleft palate
maxillary bone - what are its parts and subparts?
what is this?
the palatine bone?
what is the palatine bone?
it is an L-shaped bone at the posterior of the hard palate, also part of the orbital floor
Mandible
only movable skull bone, TMJ, home to Mandibular foramen, Mental foramen
bones associated with the skull
Auditory ossicles (2) - malleus, incus, and stapes
Hyoid bone - suspended from styloid process
Paranasal Sinuses
lining is continuous with nasal and throat membranes, if it becomes infected, there would be a problem with sinusitis
the types of muscle attachment
direct attachment to bone
indirect attachment to bone
attachment to skin and other muscles
epimysium
a layer of connective tissue, which ensheaths the entire muscle. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue - ex. intercostal muscles
periosteum
is a membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones, except at the joints of long bones.
direct muscle attachment to bone
epimysium is connected to the periosteum
how does indirect attachment (of muscle) to bone take place?
with the help of:
tendon -- rope-like collagen fibers
aponeurosis – sheet-like collagen fibers
ex: rectus sheath
parts of skeletal muscles
Origin (stationary end of muscle)
Belly (thicker, middle region - that one that contracts)
Insertion (mobile end of muscle)
what kinds of muscle movements are there?
prive mover (agonist)
antagonist
synergist
fixator
what is a prime mover or agonist?
produces the direction of movement
what is antagonist?
produces the movement in the opposite direction of the prime mover
what is synergist?
synergist aids the prime mover, stabilized the nearby joint to prevent unwanted movement
what is a fixator?
it anchors a bone (scapula)
intrinsic VS extrinsic muscles
contained within versus outside the region
describe the skeletal muscle innervation
Cranial nerves arise from the brain (and there are 12 pairs, numbered I to XII)
they exit the skull through foramina
Spinal nerves arising from the spinal cord (31 pairs)
exit the vertebral column through intervertebral foramina
what is this and what is its function?
Frontalis, it raises the eyebrows
what are these two muscles and what do they do?
Corrugator supercilii (worrier)
Orbicularis Oculi (closes the eyes)
Muscles of Mastication (4)

medial & lateral pterygoid (help elevate and grind (molars))
where do the muscles of mastication attach?
arise from skull and insert on mandible
which muscles are associated with the tongue?
intrinsic and extrinsic
what are the intrinsic tongue muscles and what do they do?
they lie entirely within the tongue, they also alter the shape of the tongue for talking and swallowing - vertical, transverse and longitudinal
what are the extrinsic tongue muscles and what do they do?
extrinsic muscles attach the tongue to other structures, they reposition the tongue, connect tongue to hyoid, styloid process, palate and inside of chin
how does tongue move?
Tongue shifts food onto teeth & pushes it into pharynx
what is this?
It is the genioglossus, which is a muscle of the human body which runs from the chin to the tongue. genioglossus is the major muscle responsible for protruding (or sticking out) the tongue.
what is this and what does it do?
Pharyngeal constrictors, they push food down throat
what do intrinsic laryngeal muscles do?
they are used to control speech
what are the anterior neck muscles?
platysma and SCM (sternocleidomastoid)
what does platysma do?
it is the "shaver", it depresses mouth
what is the SCM, and what does it do?
Sternocleidomastoid - the prayer, flexes/rotates
what are these muscles?
SCM and platysma - the prayer and the shaver, respectively
what are the facial expression muscles?

innervated by facial nerves
how many pairs of facial nerves are there?
there are 12 pairs of facial nerves
how many facial nerves are there?
there are 24 facial nerves
where do the facial nerves arise and exit?
they arise from the brain and exit through foramina leading to muscles, glands, & sense organs in head and neck
