Anatomy and Cell Biology 3319 Lecture Notes - Lecture 23: Superior Orbital Fissure, Condyloid Process, Zygomatic Bone
Nov 17 – Osteology of the Skull
Cranial cavity = inside of skull
Frontal bone – i fetus starts as to oes that fuse ad if do’t totall fuse get etopi suture hih looks like frature
Maxilla – paired bone, forms inferior part of orbit
- If you take on maxillary bone and look from side, you can see it articulates with
zygomatic bone
- Part of maxilla that reaches out and touches with zygomatic bone = called
zygomatic process
- Frontal process – part of maxilla that reaches up that touches frontal bone
- Infraorbital foramen – where V2 of trigeminal nerve comes and innervates face
- Alveolar margin – sockets for teeth
- Part of oe a’t see i this ie – palatine plate – part of maxilla that
travels inward and forms part of roof of mouth (hard palate) (see last lecture inferior
view of skull)
- Soeties foratio of ailla ad palatie oe does’t happe ell
- The hard palate forms from two out growths that start at side and move
towards the midline (called palatine shelves) – if something wrong and two palatine
sheles do’t oe together ou get left lip
- Has flat part called squamous region
- Zygomatic process – forms zygomatic arch (cheekbone)
- Mastoid region towards back – bump – point of attachment for muscles for
moving skull
- Styloid process – point of attachment for muscles
- Most important = mandibular fossa – articulates with the mandibular condyle
of mandle
- Temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) every time you move your jaw
- 1st diagram looking at temporal bone from outside, second = inside
- petrous (rocky) ridge – divides inside of cranial cavity into middle and posterior
cranial fossa
- Frontal – yellow
- Zygomatic – blue
- Maxillary – purple
- Pink – part of sphenoid bone –
contributes to formation of superior
orbital fissure (crescent shaped hole) –
nerves travel here
- Orange – ethmoid
- Palatine bone – white (small)
- Green – lacrimal bone
- get punched in eye, fracture to
lower bone therefore soft part of lower eye socket comes out form orbit down into maxilarry sinus
- floor and medial wall are super thin – damage
Sphenoid – looking down into cranial cavity
- cant really see it from outside, but key bone from inside
- has body, small and large wing
- sella turcica (turkish saddle) –where pituitary gland will be nessled and protected
- has a lot of foramina where nerves will one through
o Optic canal where optic nerve will go through
o Superior orbital fissure – nerves that travel to extra ocular muscles
o In greater wing three more formina
▪ Rtundum (V2 trigeminal nerve, and V3), ovale, spinosum * know what
structures travel through these
