Temporal bone

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint that connects your jaw to your skull. You have two to connect both sides of your jaw to your skull specifically to your temporal bone. This allows you to be able to use your jaw in simple tasks such as eating or talking. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is known as any kind of pain dealing with the temporomandibular joint or with the muscles located around the joint (WebMD). It is not quite clear what specifically causes, but specialists have their theories. Such as any kind of head or neck injury that may injure your jaw or muscles around your jaw. A well known injury that matches this is whiplash or a hard blow to the head or neck (WebMD). Other things that have been researched are arthritis,…

1. Nasal bone a. These bones serve as attachments sites for the cartilaginous tissues that shape the nose (AnatomyExpert, 2014). 2. Nasal Cartilage a. The nasal cartilage articulates with the ethmoid bone to anteriorly separate the nasal passage into two halves (Starkey, Brown, & Ryan, 2011). 3. Zygoma a. The zygoma is a sturture that fused to the maxilla and the temporal bones to form the prominent zygomatic arch beneath the eyes (Starkey, et al., 2011). 4. Maxilla a. The main functions for the…

For patients with temporal lobe epilepsy there is a high resistant to medication. This leads to a risk of memory impairments and mood disturbances. Long-term this leads to quality of life impairments and an increased risk of death. Due to the resistant to medication surgery is recommended for patients with TLE. Anteromesial temporal lobectomy (AMTL) is the most common surgery for the treatment of patients with TLE. AMTL is performed in both children and adults. AMTL is done in 30-40% of surgery…

lower limbs. The skeletal system is made up of two different regions, the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (see Figure 1, Appendix A) The average baby is born with 270 bones which fuse together as they age and decrease to about 206 bones by late teens, early twenties. The skeletal system provides support, protection, production, storage (Saladin, 2015). The Skull The most complex part of the skeleton is the skull. The average skull consists of 22 bones which are connected by…

Briefly identify and discuss bones of the appendicular and axial skeletons. • The axial skeleton consists of the following bones. The skull is made of: • There are 2 parietal bones that form the superior and lateral parts of the skull. • There are 2 temporal bones that form the inferolateral parts of the skull. • The frontal bone forms what we know as the forehead (Cancer 2016). • The occipital bone is posterior making up most of the base of the skull. • The ethmoid bone forms the anterior…

the fetal bones are made up of cartilaginous tissue, which is like osseous tissue, except it is more flexible. The absence of calcium salts in its intercellular spaces makes it less dense. As development continues, the process of the depositing of calcium salts into the cartilaginous tissue occurs, and continues throughout their life. Ossification is the gradual replacement of cartilage and its intercellular substance by bone cells that are immature, and calcium deposits. • What are the roles of…

Michael Williams et al., of Wayne State University published an article in Rehabilitation Psychology, analyzing the psychosocial outcomes after a TBI. Williams states that a TBI can create deficiencies relating to thought, motor abilities, behavior, well-being, and depression (298). Kent Kiehl et al. of Yale University published a study in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, which analyzes temporal lobe abnormalities in criminal psychopaths. Kiehl observes that structural deficiencies that cause…

children, as well as adults, willpower can be thought of as a basic ability to delay gratification (Hoerger et al., 2011). This study proved that there a delay in gratification would improve someone’s self-control. For example, when smokers are trying to stop or fully commited to stop smoking they resist the enjoyment for a healthier life. Another example could be when shoppers resist to go on a spending spree to save more money up to be comfortable to retire at a given age. What would have…

A year ago I was diagnosed with simple and complex partial seizures of the temporal lobe. The kind of seizures I have are hard to describe but its kind of like being on a roller coaster. You're strapped in and you can feel the tension as you know its going to happen, and you know its going to be scary. Once you reach the top of the roller coaster you get a weird feeling in your stomach, just like you do before your seizure happens . Sometimes you experience a very strong, awful feeling of Déjà…

objects have both temporal and spatial parts. While the spatial parts remain, the temporal parts can change. In other words, objects persist through time and change by having temporal parts. In an effort to understand why perdurantism exists, I will describe the circumstances leading to its creation, which will include a description of the elements of change and the problem of change. Then, I will provide a description of an objection to perdurantism. The aim of this paper is to strengthen…
