Characteristics of the Human Skull

• The neurocranium includes 8 bones•1 frontal 2 parietals•1 occipital 2 temporals•1 sphenoid 1 ethmoid

• The hyoid bone (supports the tongue) does not articulate with any other bones

Characteristics of the Human Skull

• Sinus Cavities•Several of the bones have developed air spaces that are lined with mucous membranes

• It is this mucous membrane that becomes infected in sever cases of sinusitis

• It is also irritation of the mucous membrane that results in excessive fluid production that can fill the air spaces and give you a stuffy nose feeling.

Page 8: The Cranium. Made up of 22 bones Except for the mandible, all of the bones are held together by sutures Rigid articulations permitting very little movement.

Characteristics of the Human Skull

• Since these sinuses are embedded in bone, they cannot be seen easily on regular skull preparations and usually require sawing into the bone to see them.

• Some believe that the function of the sinuses are: • 1) makes the skull lighter to carry around• 2) serve as resonating chambers during

speech

Cranial Development• Formed by intramembranous and endochondral

ossification

• Intramembranous (dermal) ossification• The skull roof• Sides and roof of the neurocranium

• Endochondral ossification• Temporal bones• Occipital• Sphenoid• Ethmoid

Page 11: The Cranium. Made up of 22 bones Except for the mandible, all of the bones are held together by sutures Rigid articulations permitting very little movement.

Cranial Development

• The cranium changes rapidly during fetal development

• The 1st trimester is crucial for development of skull defects

• At birth, the skull is made up of 44 separate bony elements

Page 12: The Cranium. Made up of 22 bones Except for the mandible, all of the bones are held together by sutures Rigid articulations permitting very little movement.

Pathology

• The skull normally protects the brain from damage•The skull is one of the least deformable substances found in nature

• Head injuries can raise intracranial pressure•Subdural hematoma - Concussions•No space for the brain to expand•Brain damage or death

Sexual Dimorphism of Skulls

• Male skulls tend to be more robust• Female skulls are lighter and smaller

• The male body is larger than the female body, so proportionally the male skull is about the same size as the female skull

• Males – more prominent supraorbital ridges, more prominent temporal lines, squarer orbits, squarer chins and thicker mandibles

The Bony Thorax• Xiphoid Process• Small cartilaginous process of the lower sternum• Ossified in adults

• Costal Cartilage• Bars of hyaline cartilage• Push ribs forward• Contribute to the elasticity of the rib cage

The Bony Thorax

• Vertebrosternal or “True Ribs”•Upper 7 ribs•Attached to the sternum (costal cartilage)•Allow movement (breathing)

• False ribs•5 sets of ribs below true ribs•Has no direct attachment to the sternum

The Bony Thorax• Vertebrocostal ribs•Those ribs connected to the lower thoracic vertebrae with costal cartilage

•Ribs 7 or 8 down to rib 10

•Each rib is attached to the costal cartilage of the rib located superiorly to it (above it)

•AKA “False ribs” because their costal cartilage does not attach directly to the sternum
