How many bones in the human skull - ✔✔ 22 How many cranial bones? - ✔✔ 8 How many facial bones? - ✔✔ 14 Name the 8 cranial bones. - ✔✔Occipital, Temporal(2), Frontal, Sphenoid, Ethmoid, Parietal(2) Name the 14 facial bones - ✔✔Vomer, Nasal (2), Inferior Nasal Conche (2), Lacrimal (2), Zygomatic (2), Palatine (2) maxilla (2), Mandible Characteristics that only appear on a specific bone. - ✔✔Landmarks An opening for nerves and blood vessels to pass - ✔✔Foramen This bone forms the back of the head - ✔✔Occiptial The foramen Magnum is on which cranial bone? - ✔✔Occipital The mastoid process, styloid process, zygomatic process, and external auditory meatus are landmarks on what bone? - ✔✔Temporal This bone forms the forhead and top of the eye - ✔✔Frontal
This bone forms the upper back side of the skull - ✔✔parietal This bone is bat shaped and forms the anterior base of the skull - ✔✔Sphenoid The landmark on this "bat-shapped" bone is called the: - ✔✔Greater wing of the sphenoid This bone forms the midline of the cranium and is part of the nose. It lies behind the frontal bone between the eyes. - ✔✔Ethmoid Bone known as the nasal septum, forms midline of nose. - ✔✔Vomer These bones form the bridge of the nose. - ✔✔Nasal Bones These bones form the lateral portion of the nasal septum and are within the boney part of the nose. - ✔✔Inferior Nasal Conchae Irregular thin plates of bone that form the medial wall of the orbit of the eye. - ✔✔Lacrimal bones this bone is also known as the Malar bone - ✔✔Zygomatic Bone This bone forms the cheek bone. - ✔✔Zygomatic A process is named for where it is going/coming to or from? - ✔✔going to. example: the process on the zygomatic bone that goes to the temporal bone is called, the Temporal process of the zygomatic bone. These bones form the most posterior part of the hard palate. - ✔✔Palatine bones The Greater Palatine Foramen is located on what bone? - ✔✔Palatine.
Lowering of the jaw is - ✔✔depression bringing the lower jaw forward is - ✔✔Protrusion BBringing the lower jaw backward is - ✔✔retraction Shifting the lower jaw to one side is - ✔✔lateral protrusion This muscle's origin is on the zygomatic arch and inserts on the angle of the mandible and elevates the mandible. - ✔✔Masseter This muscle's origin is in the temporal bone, it inserts into the coronoid process and helps to elevate the mandible or retracts the mandible. - ✔✔Temporal muscle This muscles origin is in the sphenoid bone. it inserts into the angle of the mandible on the medial surface. It elevates the mandible. - ✔✔Medial Pterygoid muscle. This muscle forms a sling with the masseter muscle. - ✔✔Medial pterygoid muscle This muscle's origin is in several different places on the sphenoid bone. It inserts on the condyle near the TMJ and it protrudes the mandible or assists in lateral deviation of the mandible. - ✔✔Lateral Pterygoid muscle. Name two accessory muscles of mastication. - ✔✔Buccinator Muscle and Mylohyoid muscle. This muscle is a muscle of facial expression but helps keep the food in while chewing. - ✔✔buccinator This muscle is on the floor of the mouth. - ✔✔Mylohyoid muscle.
The ________ is composed of the brain and spinal cord and is considered the control center of the nervous sytem. - ✔✔Central Nervous System This part of the nervous system is composed of all of the nerves between the brain and spinal cord to the body (glands, muscles, organs) - ✔✔Peripheral nervous system What are the two divisions of the peripheral nervous system. - ✔✔Sensory (afferent) and Motor (efferent) What are two divisions of the motor division of the PNS? - ✔✔Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic nervous system. This motor division of the PNS handles stress and relaxation. It operates without conscious control. - ✔✔Autonomic Nervious sytem. The fight or flight response is controlled by the - ✔✔Sympathetic Nerviuos system. The rest or digest response is controlled by the - ✔✔Parasympathetic nervious system. How many cranial nerves are there. - ✔✔ 12 How many pinal nerves are there? - ✔✔ 20 Name the 12 cranial nerves - ✔✔Olfactory, optic, Oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, acoustic, glossopharyngeal, vagus, spinal accessory, and hypoglossal Cranial nerve V is - ✔✔Trigeminal nerve What are the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve? - ✔✔Ophtalmic, Maxillary, and Mandibular
