Briefly describe the bones that make up the orbit of the eye. Include a description of the portion of the orbit formed by each bone.

Parts of the frontal and sphenoid bones comprise the roof of the orbit. Parts of the zygomatic and sphenoid bones form the lateral wall of the orbit. Parts of the maxilla, zygomatic and palatine bones make up the floor of the orbit. Parts of the maxilla, lacrimal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones form the medial wall of the orbit.

Sphenoid

Joe was found dead. His hyoid bone was broken. What was the most likely cause of death?

Strangulation

These cranial bones contain the organs of hearing and balance, and articulate with the mandible.

Temporal

These cranial bones form the inferior lateral aspects of the cranium and part of the cranial floor.

Temporal

The union of these two bones forms the zygomatic arch.

Temporal and zygomatic

Briefly discuss the main structural features of the temporal bones.

Temporal bones form the inferior lateral aspects of the cranium and part of the cranial floor. Each temporal bone articulates with sphenoid, parietal, occipital and zygomatic bone via zygomatic arch. They articulate with the mandible to form the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Two major processes on the temporal are called the mastoid process and styloid process, which both act as sites of muscle attachment. The temporal bone houses the external auditory meatus (the ear canal). The petrous portion of the temporal bone houses the internal ear and the middle ear. It also contains the carotid and jugular foramen.

Briefly describe the location of the four most prominent sutures of the skull including the articulating bones.

The coronal suture unites the frontal bone and both parietal bones. The sagittal suture unites the two parietal bones on the superior midline of the skull. The lambdoid suture unites the two parietal bones to the occipital bone. The squamous sutures unite the parietal and temporal bones on the lateral aspects of the skull.

Briefly describe the function of the fontanels.

The fontanels are important in allowing flexibility during childbirth and allow brain growth after birth.

Briefly describe the five categories of bones found in the human body based on the shape of the bones.

The human body contains five types of bones based on shape. Long bones have greater length than width and consist of a shaft and a variable number of extremities. Short bones are somewhat cube-shaped because they are nearly equal in length and width. Flat bones are generally thin and composed of two nearly parallel plates of compact bones tissue enclosing a layer of spongy bone tissue. Irregular bones have complex shapes and cannot be grouped into any of the previous categories. Sesamoid bones develop in certain tendons where there is considerable friction, tension and physical stress and are shaped similarly to a sesame seed.

Briefly describe the function of the paranasal sinuses.

The sinuses lighten the skull and contain a mucous membrane lining that helps moisten and clean inspired air. The sinus also aid in enhancing the quality of the voice by acting as resonating chambers.

Briefly describe the six fontanels of the infant skull including their location, shape and time of closure.

The unpaired anterior fontanel is located at the midline between the two parietal bones and the frontal bone. It is roughly diamond shaped and is the largest fontanel. It usually closes 18-24 months after birth. The unpaired posterior fontanel is located at the midline between the two parietal bones and the occipital bone. It is smaller than the anterior fontanel and closes about 2 months after birth. The paired anterolateral fontanels are located laterally between the frontal, parietal, temporal and sphenoid bones and are smaller in shape. They close about 3 months after birth. The paired posterolateral fontanels are located laterally between the parietal, occipital and temporal bones and are irregularly shaped. They begin to close 1 to 2 months after birth, but closure is not complete until 12 months.

List and describe the number of bones found in all the regions of the adult vertebral column.

There are seven cervical vertebrae in the neck region. There are twelve thoracic vertebrae posterior to the thoracic cavity. The five lumbar vertebrae support the lower back. There is one sacrum consisting of five fused sacral vertebrae. There is one coccyx (tail bone) consisting of four fused coccygeal vertebrae.
