| Four sutures of the cranium | Coronal-where parietal bones meet the frontal bone Squamous—where each parietal bone meets a temporal bone inferiorly Sagittal—where right and left parietal bones meet superiorly Lambdoid-where parietal bones meet the occipital bone posteriorly |
| Small bones that occur within sutures Irregular in shape, size, and location | Sutural Bones (note: Not all people have sutural bones) |

| Forms the forehead and roofs of orbits | Frontal Bone |
| superior margin of orbits | Supraorbital margin |
| smooth part of frontal bone between superciliary arches (Frontal sinuses within frontal bone) | Glabella (Contributes to anterior cranial fossa) |
| Forms the posterior portion of the cranium and cranial base Articulates with the temporal bones and parietal bones Forms the posterior cranial fossa Foramen magnum located at its base | Occipital Bone |
| Features and Structures of the Occipital Bone | Occipital condyles Hypoglossal foramen External occipital protuberance Superior nuchal lines Inferior nuchal lines |
| Look at slide 20 in PP CHAP-7 to see an Inferior View of the Skull | Look at slide 20 in PP CHAP-7 to see an Inferior View of the Skull |
| Lie inferior to parietal bones Form the inferolateral portion of the skull Term comes from Latin word for time | Temporal Bones |
| Regions of Temporal Bones | Squamous, temporal, petrous, and mastoid regions |
| Look at slide 20 in PP CHAP-7 to see a Lateral View of the Skull | Look at slide 20 in PP CHAP-7 to see a Lateral View of the Skull |
| Look at slide 21 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of The Temporal Bone | Look at slide 21 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of The Temporal Bone |
| Site for neck muscle attachment Contains air sinuses | The mastoid process |
| Projects medially, contributes to cranial base Houses cavities of middle and internal ear Contributes to the middle and posterior cranial fossae | Petrous region |
| smallest and lightest vertebrae | Seven cervical vertebrae (C1–C7) |
| typical cervical vertebrae | C3–C7 |
| Body is wider laterally Spinous processes are short and bifid (except C7) Vertebral foramen are large and triangular Transverse processes contain transverse foramina Superior articular facets face superoposteriorly | Typical Vertebrae (C3–C7) |
| Look at slide 27 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of Cervical Vertebrae | Look at slide 27 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of Cervical Vertebrae |
| C1: Lacks a body and spinous process Supports the skull Superior articular facets receive the occipital condyles Allows flexion and extension of neck Nodding the head “yes” | The Atlas |
| Look at slide 29-30 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of The Atlas | Look at slide 29-30 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of The Atlas |
| Has a body and spinous process | The Axis |
| projects superiorly Formed from fusion of the body of the atlas with the axis Acts as a pivot for rotation of the atlas and skull Participates in rotating the head from side to side | Dens (odontoid process) |
| Look at slide 32 in PP CHAP-7 to see where the Dens is located | Look at slide 32 in PP CHAP-7 to see where the Dens is located |
| All articulate with ribs Have heart-shaped bodies from the superior view | Thoracic Vertebrae (T1—T12) |
| bears demifacts for articulation with ribs on each side of body | T1–T10 |
| has a full facet for the first rib | T1 |
| only have a single facet | T10–T12 |
| articular facets pointing posteriorly | Superior articular facets |
| articular processes pointing anteriorly | Inferior articular processes (Allows rotation and prevents flexion and extension) |
| Bodies are thick Transverse processes are thin and tapered Spinous processes are thick, and point posteriorly Triangular Vertebral foramina Superior and inferior articular facets directly medially Allows flexion and extension—rotation prevented | Lumbar Vertebrae (L1—L5) |
| Look at slide 40 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of Lumbar Vertebrae | Look at slide 40 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of Lumbar Vertebrae |
| Shapes the posterior wall of pelvis Formed from 5 fused vertebrae Superior surface articulates with L5 Inferiorly articulates with coccyx | Sacrum (S1—S5) |
| Where the first sacral vertebrae bulges into pelvic cavity | Sacral promontory |
| How far is the center of gravity posterior to sacral promontory | 1cm |
| develops from fused rib elements | Ala |
| 2 parts of Sacral foramina | Ventral foramina Passage for ventral rami of sacral spinal nerves Dorsal foramina Passage for dorsal rami of sacral spinal nerves |
| Is the “tailbone” Formed from 3—5 fused vertebrae Offers only slight support to pelvic organs | Coccyx |
| Forms the framework of the chest Protects thoracic organs Supports shoulder girdle and upper limbs Provides attachment sites for muscles | The Thoracic Cage |
| Components of The Thoracic Cage | Thoracic vertebrae—posteriorly Ribs—laterally Sternum and costal cartilage—anteriorly |
| Look at slide 47 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of The Thoracic Cage | Look at slide 47 in PP CHAP-7 to see an illustration of The Thoracic Cage |
| 3 sections of The Sternum | Manubrium—superior section Articulates with medial end of clavicles Body—bulk of sternum Sides are notched at articulations for costal cartilage of ribs 2–7 Xiphoid process—inferior end of sternum Ossifies around age 40 |
| Central indentation at superior border of the manubrium | Jugular notch |
| A horizontal ridge where the manubrium joins the body | Sternal angle |
| Where sternal body and xiphoid process fuse Lies at the level of the 9th thoracic vertebra | Xiphisternal joint |
| All ribs attach to vertebral column: posterior or anterior? | posterior |
| superior seven pairs of ribs Attach to sternum by costal cartilage | True ribs |
| inferior five pairs of ribs | False ribs |
| Ribs 11–12 are known as: | floating ribs |
| A common congenital disorder Right and left halves of palate fail to fuse medially | Cleft palate |
| Narrowing of the vertebral canal Can compress roots of spinal nerves | Stenosis of the lumbar spine |
