Ventrale und laterale Ansicht des Schädels

This tutorial provides an in-depth look at the anatomy of the human skull, focusing on both the lateral and front views. It covers the division of the skull into the Viscero cranium and Neurocranium, detailing the bones involved in each section. Key bones such as the OS Frontale, Maxilla, Mandible, and others are discussed, along with their specific features and functions. The tutorial also explores the structure of the orbit, highlighting the bones that form the eye cavity.

What is the primary function of the neurocranium?

• To support the facial muscles

• To protect the brain

• To form the nasal cavity

• To anchor the teeth

Which bone is NOT part of the nine bones discussed in the skull's front and side views?

• Maxilla

• Femur

• Nasal

• OS Frontale

What is the glabella?

• A type of suture

• A raised surface above the nasal root

• A bone in the jaw

• A part of the maxilla

Which bone forms the cheekbones?

• OS Sphenoidale

• Mandible

• OS Zygomaticus

• OS Frontale

What is the role of the infraorbital foramen?

• To form the nasal septum

• To connect the mandible to the skull

• To allow passage of the infraorbital nerve and vessels

• To anchor the teeth

Which bone is known as the 'wedge leg'?

• Mandible

• OS Parietal

• OS Sphenoidale

• OS Frontale

What is unique about the mandible compared to other skull bones?

• It is the only bone that forms the orbit

• It is the largest bone in the skull

• It is the only bone that can move freely

• It is the only bone that forms the nasal cavity

Which bone forms a large part of the skull roof?

• OS Zygomaticus

• Mandible

• OS Temporale

• OS Parietal

What is the function of the styloid process?

• To serve as an attachment for ligaments and muscles

• To anchor the teeth

• To form the nasal cavity

• To protect the brain

Which part of the orbit is formed by the OS Frontale?

• The medial wall

• The roof

• The floor

• The lateral wall
