Definition
The bones of the skull are held in position by sutures. Also the border of each suture lack into joining bones of the cranium.
Term
Frontal bone
Definition
The anterior 1/3 of the cranium forming the forehead and parts of the eye socket and most of the anterior portion of the cranial floor. It's compromised of two planes: the horizontal plane (part of the crown, makes up the superior part of the cranium) and the vertical plane, making up the forehead.
Term
What does the frontal bone articulate with?
Definition
The frontal bone articulates with the parietal bones at the coronal suture.
Term
Eminences of the frontal bone: Frontal eminences.
Definition
Rounded prominences on either side of the median line and a little inferior to the center of the frontal bone. A warm color area of the face.
Term
Eminences of the frontal bone: Supraorbital margin:
Definition
The superior rim of the eye socket.
Term
Eminences of the frontal bone: Supercillary arches:
Definition
the inferior part of the forehead just superior to the medial ends of the eyebrows.
Term
Eminences of the frontal lobe: Glabella:
Definition
An elevation located between the supercillary arches on the inferior part of the frontal bone immediately above the root of the nose. The root is the point at which the two nasal bones touch the frontal bone - it is inferior to the glabella.
Term
Occipital bone
Definition
Forms the lowest part of the back and base of the cranium. Acts as a cradle for the brain. "Rocking chair bone"
Term
What does the occipital bone articulate with?
Definition
The occipital bone articulates with the parietal bone at the lambdoidal suture.
The occipital bone articulates with the temporal bone at the squamosal suture.
Term
What is the foramen magnum?
Definition
An opening in the occipital bone through which the spinal cord, spinal arteries, and nerves pass. It is located midway between two mastoid processes. The opening can assist in securing the head to the body in a decapitation death.
Term
Parietal bones
Definition
These bones create the superior portion of the sides and back of the cranium, as well as the posterior 2/3 of the roof of the cranium.
The sagittal suture is formed at the juction of the two parietal bones. This is the vertex of the cranium.
The parietal eminences marks the widest part of the cranium. Located a short distance above the posterior border of the ear.
Term
Parietal bones articulate with:
Definition
The parietal bones articulate with the occipital bone at the lambdoidal suture
The parietal bones articulate with the temporal bone at the squamosal suture
The parietal bones articulate with the frontal bone at the coronal suture
The parietal bones articulate with each other at the sagittal suture
Term
Temporal bones:
Definition
Comprises the inferior portion of the sides and base of the cranium. They're located inferior to the parietal bones and anterior to the occipital bone. The bone in this area is very thin. Trauma to this area usually causes swollen and discolored eyes.
Term
The temporal bones articulate with:
Definition
The temporal bones articulate with the parietal bones at the squamosal suture; the occipital bone at the lambdoidal suture; the greater wing of the sphenoid bone.
Term
Squama
Definition
Like a fish scale -- the thin superior part of the temporal bone. The temporal cavity is immediately lateral the squama, and this space houses the temporalis muscle, which especially in the emaciated cases, may shrink and require tissue building.
Term
Zygomatic arch
Definition
A long, thin, arched process extended anteriorly from the squama to the zygomatic bone. It lies above the external audioty meatus and divides the length of the ear in half. It is considered the widest part of the face.
