Term
Definition
Axial Skeleton   bones along the central axis of the body; 3 regions- skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage; Function is to form framework that supports and protects organs; spongy bone of most contains hemopoietic tissue responsible for blood cell formation  
🗑
Appendicular skeleton   bones of upper and lower limbs and girdles of bones that attach them to axial skeleton.  
🗑
Skull   composed of cranial and facial bones  
🗑
Cranial Bones   form around the cranium, which encloses the brain; 8 bones  
🗑
Facial Bones   form face; protect entrances to digestive and respiratory systems; give shape and individuality to face, from part of orbital and nasal cavities, support teeth, provide muscle attachment for facial expression and mastication (chew) 14 bones  
🗑
Cranial cavity   encloses, protects and supports brain  
🗑
Frontal bone   forms the forehead  
🗑
superciliary arches   brow ridges  
🗑
nasal bone   form bony bridge of the nose  
🗑
Glabella   superior to nasal bones and between the orbits  
🗑
Maxillae   left and right fuse to form UPPER jaw and lateral boundaries of nasal cavity; form roof of oral cavity and portion of floor of each orbit  
🗑
Mental protuberance   chin of the mandible  
🗑
Alveolar processes   in oral margins of the maxillae and mandible and contain teeth  
🗑
Anterior nasal spine   very base of nasal septum, right above teeth; marks inferior border of nasal cavity  
🗑
Nasal spetum   divides nasal cavity into right and left halves; perpendicular plate of ethmoid above vomer  
🗑
Calvaria   roof of cranium, composed of parts of frontal bone, parietal bone, occipital bone  
🗑
Cranial base   composed of portions of ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital, temporal bones  
🗑
Orbit openings   Superior orbital fissure, inferior orbital fissure  
🗑
Coronal suture   articulation between frontal and parietal bones  
🗑
Sagittal suture   connects left and right parietal bones  
🗑
Lambdoid suture   suture between occipital and parietal bones, sutural bones between occipital and parietal  
🗑
External occipital protuberance   prominence on posterior aspect of skull  
🗑
Superior and inferior nuchal lines   intersect external occipital protuberance  
🗑
pterion   portion of sphenoid bone, articulates with frontal parietal and temporal bones  
🗑
temporomandibular joint   mandible articulated with mandibular fossa or temporal bone  
🗑
zygomatic arch   fused portion of temporal process of zygomatic bone and zygomatic process of the temporal bone  
🗑
Mastoid process   temporal bone; bump behind external ear opening  
🗑
Hard palate   roof of mouth; formed by palatine process of maxillae and palatine bones  
🗑
pterygoid process   sphenoid bone; medial pterygoid + lateral pterygoid plates  
🗑
jugular foramen   opening between temporal and occipital bones, passageway of internal jugular vein and nerves  
🗑
carotid canal   anteromedial to jugular foramen ; internal carotid artery passage  
🗑
stylomastoid foramen   between mastoid process and styloid process  
🗑
occipital condyles   articulate with first cervical vertebra; facial nerve extending through here  
🗑
hypoglossal canal   at edge of occipital condyles; hypoglossal nerve  
🗑
sella turcica   bony depression on sphenoid, houses pituitary gland  
🗑
sutures   immovable joints; form boundaries between cranial bones; connected by dense regular CT  
🗑
squamous suture   articulated temporal bone and parietal bone on each side of skull  
🗑
Paranasal sinuses   ai filled chambers open into nasal cavity; mucous membrane humidifies and warms inhaled air, provide resonance to voice; ethmoidal, frontal, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses  
🗑
auditory ossicles   3 ear bones; petrous part of temporal bones; Malleus, incus, stapes  
🗑
Hyoid Bone   between mandible and larynx; medial body and 2 processes (greater/lesser cornua) attachment sites for tongue and larynx muscles and ligaments  
🗑
vertebral column   24 vertebrae, fused sacrum and coccyx  
🗑
cervical vertebrae   bones of neck; 7 vertebrae, C1-C7; kidney shaped bodies; distinguished by transverse foramina (happy fish)  
🗑
Atlas   C1, cervical vertebrae; articulated with occipital condyles; lacks spinous process  
🗑
Axis   C2, cervical vertebrae; acts as pivot for rotation; fuses with body of axis  
🗑
Thoracic Vertebrae   12; heart shaped bodies; costal facets; T11 and 12 lack transverse costa facets  
🗑
Lumbar vertebrae   largest, thick oval body;NO transverse foramina or costal facets  
🗑
Sacrum   triangular bone, forms posterior wall of pelvic cavity; apex- narrow, pointed portion of the bone projecting inferiorly  
🗑
Coccyx   fusion of 4 coccygeal vertebrae; attachment site for ligaments and muscles  
🗑
Thoracic cage   consists of thoracic vertebrae, ribs and sternum  
🗑
Sternum   flat bone; Manubrium- superior portion has two clavicular notches and suprasternal notch (first ribs cartilages); Body- longest part; Xiphoid process- at tip of sterum  
🗑
True Ribs   connect individually to sternum by cartilaginous extensions (costal cartilages) ribs 1-7  
🗑
False Ribs   DO NOT attach directly to sternum; ribs 8-12; ribs 11+12 are floating ribs  
🗑
