When fontanelles close prematurely, the skull shape becomes distorted. This condition is known as craniostenosis. If the anterior fontanelle closes prematurely, which of the following sutures most likely involved? - squamous suture - coronal suture - lambdoid suture - sphenoidal sutures

coronal suture

Spinal nerves run to and from the spinal cord within what structure? - vertebral foramen - foramen magnum - vertebral arch - intervertebral foramina

occipital condyles

The optic nerve passes through which bone marking of the sphenoid bone? - superior orbital fissure - optic canal - inferior orbital fissure - supra-orbital

optic canal

The axial skeleton provides an extensive surface area for the attachment of muscles that ______________ . - perform respiration - position the appendicular skeleton - move the head - perform all of these functions

perform all of these functions

pituitary gland

The two spinal curves present at birth are called _______________ curves. - compensation - primary - fetal - congenital

primary

Identify the bony posterior wall fo the pelvis. - coccyx - pubic symphysis - sacrum - lumbar vertebrae

sacrum

Which two bones contribute to the zygomatic arch? - zygomatic and maxilla - frontal and zygomatic - temporal and zygomatic - temporal and mandible

temporal and zygomatic

Most of the bones of the skull are connected by immovable joints called sutures. Which of the following bone pairings is NOT connected by a suture? - frontal--parietal - temporal--mandible - parietal--parietal - parietal--occipital

temporal--mandible

The maxilla also frequently sustains fractures from blunt trauma to the face. Which structures support and ouse the upper teeth in this bone? - the infraorbital foramen - the palatine processes - the nasolacrimal canal - the alveolar process

the alveolar process

The young boxer has sustained a "blowout" fracture of his left orbital complex. The orbital that contains the eye is formed by seven facial bones. Which skull bone forms the roof of the orbit? - the ethmoid bone - the lacrimal bone - the maxilla - the frontal bone

the frontal bone

The orbital rim is strong, composed of thick, protective bone. But the very thin medial wall and floor of the orbit were literally blown out by the intact eyeball itself when the boxer was struck with such a forceful blow. Which bones compose the orbital rim? - the lacrimal and ethmoid bones articulate with the frontal bone to form the orbital rim - the sphenoid and ethmoid bones articulates with the frontal bone to form the orbital rim - the maxilla and zygomatic bone both articulate with the frontal bone to form the orbital rim - the palatine bone and the lateral mass of the ethmoid articulate with the sphenoid to form the orbital rim

the maxilla and zygomatic bone both articulate with the frontal bone to form the orbital rim

Surrounding the orbits are the four paranasal sinuses. What are these structures? - sinuses are canals that permit the passageway of blood vessels and nerves to the orbit - the paranasal sinuses are air-filled chambers lined with mucus-producing epithelium that open into the nasal cavities - sinuses are non-ossified areas between the cranial bones that allow for growth - sinuses are solid, bony structures that function to strengthen the area around the orbit

the paranasal sinuses are air-filled chambers lined with mucus-producing epithelium that open into the nasal cavities

Which of these statements about the true ribs is FALSE? - they articulate with thoracic vertebrae - they articulate with the sternum - they are ribs one to seven - they don't move during respiration

they don't move during respiration
