The skeletal structure of the head that supports and protects the brain, sensory organs, nerves, and
vasculature of the head and provides an anchor for the musculature of the face and scalp. - ANSWER:
Skull or cranium
How many bones that make up the skull are immobile? - ANSWER: Out of the 22 bones that make up
the skull, 21 are immobile and form a single unit
What is the name of the one skull bone that is mobile? - ANSWER: Mandible
The _______ is the section of the cranium that is composed of cranial bones and sutures - ANSWER:
Neurocranium
This section of the cranium is form by the bones of the face. - ANSWER: Viscerocranium
The bones of the skull that comprise the _____________________ have numerous foramina, or
openings, through which cranial nerves, arteries, veins, and other structures pass. - ANSWER:
Neurocranium
This region of the neurocranium forms the forehead, anterior cranial floor, and part of orbit of the eye
- ANSWER: Frontal Region
The region of the neurocranium that is formed from 2 bones that create the top and upper sides of
the cranium - ANSWER: Parietal Region
The ____________ region is the base and back of the cranium formed from one bone. - ANSWER:
Occipital Region
The 2 _________ bones form the base and sides of the cranium or the temporal region. - ANSWER:
Temporal
This region is formed from 1 bone that is located at the anterior base of the skull and forms part of
the walls of the orbit. - ANSWER: Sphenoid Region
The ____________ bone also forms part of the orbit and the floor of the cranium. - ANSWER: Ethmoid
What separates the cranial bones? - ANSWER: Sutures-narrow fibrous joints
Sutures of the skull consist of dense connective tissue creating immoveable joints with little elasticity,
what is the benefit of this? - ANSWER: Provides vital protection for the brain and underlying
structures
The suture that fuses the frontal bone with the 2 parietal bones is called the ___________ suture. -
ANSWER: Coronal Suture
Which suture fuses the two parietal bones? - ANSWER: Sagittal Suture
Which suture fuses the occipital bines to the 2 parietal bones? - ANSWER: Lambdoid Suture
How many facial bones form the viscerocranium or facial skeleton? - ANSWER: 14
What is the name of the paired facial bones that form the cheekbones? - ANSWER: Zygomatic
, What is the total number of paired facial bones? - ANSWER: 6
The paired _________ facial bones form the walls of the orbit and nasal cavity. - ANSWER: Lacrimal
________ is located at the of the bridge of the nose - ANSWER: Nasal
This is located in the nasal cavity. - ANSWER: Inferior Nasal Conchae
The ________ forms part of the hard palate in the oral cavity - ANSWER: Palatine
T or F- the maxilla is comprised of part of the upper jaw and the soft palate. - ANSWER: False- it is
comprised of the upper jaw and hard palate
The ____________ are the unpaired facial bones that form part of the nasal septum and the
mandible, and articulates with the base of the cranium at the temporomandibular joint. - ANSWER:
Vomer
List the facial landmarks that are assessed for size, shape, position and prominence. - ANSWER:
Forehead, cheeks, midface, palpebral fissures, nasolabial folds, and chin.
What are the 3 functions of the neck muscles? - ANSWER: 1. Movement of the vertebral column:
flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending of head and neck.
2. Facilitates speech and swallowing
3. Provides stabilization of the head
The __________ of the neck are useful in assessing the superficial structures of the neck. - ANSWER:
Triangles
This muscle is attached to the sternum, clavicle, and mastoid process of the temporal bone and
provides a visible landmark that separates the anterior and posterior triangles of the neck. - ANSWER:
Sternocleidomastoid
This __________ triangle includes the external jugular vein, posterior cervical lymph nodes, and the
accessory cranial nerve. - ANSWER: Posterior
The ___________ triangle includes the bifurcation of the common carotid artery, anterior cervical
lymph nodes, and the facial, glossopharyngeal, vagus accessory, and hypoglossal cranial nerves. -
ANSWER: Anterior
Underlying structure of the anterior triangle: hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, trachea,
thyroid gland, and parathyroid gland form the _______________ of the neck. - ANSWER: Midline
What factors affect the volume of the thyroid gland? - ANSWER: - Age: older age decreases thyroid
volume
- Gender: Men have larger thyroid volume than women
- Iodine intake decreases thyroid volume
T or F- When the thyroid gland is is stimulated the the columnar cells become follicular cells and
causes the lumen to be depleted of the thyroglobulin-containing colloid. - ANSWER: False- The
follicular cells become columnar cells
T or F- when the thyroid gland function is suppressed the follicular cells become flat and the colloid
accumulates - ANSWER: True
