Ellipsoidal joint

flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and circumduction as seen at wrist or ankle

explain names of lamboid, sagittal, and coronal sutures

sagittal- joins 2 parietal bones
coronal- frontal bone to two parietal bones
lamboid- joins parietal bone to occipital bone

sagittal- joins 2 parietal bones


coronal- frontal bone to two parietal bones


lamboid- joins parietal bone to occipital bone



what is the function of the mandibular fossa?

The mandibular fossa is the cavity in the temporal bone that enables interaction with the mandibular condyle

What is the function of the crista galli?

The crista galli (Latin: "crest of the rooster") is a median ridge of bone that projects from the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone. It is where the falx cerebri attaches anteriorly to the skull. The olfactory bulbs lie on either side of the crista galli on top of the cribriform plate

What passes through the olfactory foramen?

olfactory nerve 1

What does sella turcica mean?

The sella turcica (Latin for Turkish seat) is a saddle-shaped depression in the body of the sphenoid bone of the human skull and of It serves as a cephalometric landmark. The seat of the saddle, the deepest part of the sella turcica known as the hypophyseal fossa, holds the pituitary gland

What sits on the hypophyseal fossa?

the deepest part of the sella turcica known as thehypophyseal fossa holds the pituitary gland

what four bones make up the hard plate?

Maxillary (left and right), palatine process of maxilla bone, an palatine

what does the hard plate separate?

separate the oral cavity from the nasal cavity

In general, what passes through most of the foramina?

cranial nerves

what is the difference between the vertebral foramen and invertebral foramen?



INTERVERTEBRAL FORAMINA- spaces between adjacent vertebrae which givespassage for spinal nerves to exit. VERTEBRAL FORAMINA forms vertebral canal.

INTERVERTEBRAL FORAMINA- spaces between adjacent vertebrae which givespassage for spinal nerves to exit. VERTEBRAL FORAMINA forms vertebral canal.

How do facets differ from demifacets?

A facet is a flat or nearly flat surface on a bone. A demifacet is actually half of a facet

What does facet/demifacet articulate?

the head of the rib or part of the costal cartilage articulates and these are usually found on ribs 2 through 9. The superior demifacet of the body of the vertebra receives the head of the rib with the same number as the vertebra of interest.

What does transverse facet articulate?

The transverse costal facet (or transverse costal fovea) is a site where a rib forms a joint with the transverse process of athoracic vertebra.

sacral foramina are serially homologous to what structures?

intervertebral foramina?

Why is the auricular surface so named?

because its shape resembles an ear

With what does the auricular surface articulate with?

The auricular surface of the ileum articulates with the auricular surface of the sacrum to form the sacroiliac joint.


The auricular surface of the sacrum articulates with the auricular surface of the ilium to form the sacroiliac joint.

what is a sulcus?

a groove or furrow, especially one on the surface of the brain

why does the spinal cord enlarge slightly in the cervical and lumbar regions?

The cervical and lumbar enlargements of the spinal cord result from enlargement of the gray matter that contains the neural machinery necessary to operate the limbs.

what is a commisure?

the joint between two bones.


a band of nerve tissue connecting the hemispheres of the brain, the two sides of the spinal cord, etc.

why are lateral grey horns located in the thoracic and lumbar regions only?

The lateral grey column is primarily involved with activity in the sympathetic division of the autonomic motor system. It projects to the side as a triangular field in the thoracic and upper lumbar[1] regions (specifically T2-L1) of the postero-lateral part of the anterior grey column.


sympathetic begins in thoracic.

why is the sympathetic division referred to as the thoracolumbar system?

Relating to the thoracic and lumbar portions of the vertebral column.


Relating to the origins of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.

how would you id the optic nerve distinct from the optic tract?

The optic tract is actually comprised of two separate tracts: the left optic tract and the right optic tract. It begins at the area where information from the left eye and right eye cross

why would you need to label the optic nerve, optic tract, and optic chasm seperately?

The optic nerve , cranial nerve II, transmits visual information to occipital cortex. Axons caudal to the intersection, called the optic chiasm, are optic tract fibers.

The optic nerve , cranial nerve II, transmits visual information to occipital cortex. Axons caudal to the intersection, called the optic chiasm, are optic tract fibers.

which of the cranial nerves innervate most (4) of the extrinsic eye muscles?

oculomotor (nerves III)

4 of the cranial nerves comprise the cranial portion of the parasympathetic division of the ANS. Which 4 nerves?

the oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves, which are also known as cranial nerves III, VII, IX and X. An easy way to remember these is with this mnemonic: "Faeries occupy glimmering valleys," with the first 2 letters in each word matching those of the corresponding cranial nerve.

which three of the cranial nerves are involved in taste?

The Facial Nerve carries information from the front 2/3 of the tongue. (Cranial Nerve VII) The Glossopharyngeal Nerve carries information from the back 1/3 of the tongure (Cranial Nerve IX) The Vagus Nerve also carries some taste information, but it's a minor component (Cranial Nerve X).

which additional nerve innervates the tongue, but is not involved in taste? what does it do?

Motor supply for all intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue is supplied by efferent motor nerve fibers from the hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)

Why do you think the facial nerve is so named?

It controls the muscles of facial expression, and functions in the conveyance of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and oral cavity. It also supplies preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to several head and neck ganglia.

what is a gyrus?

a ridge or fold between two clefts on the cerebral surface in the brain

what is the difference between a sulcus and fissure?

The sulci and fissures are both grooves in the cortex but they are differentiated by size. A sulcus is a shallower groove that surrounds a gyrus. A fissure is a large furrow that divides the brain into lobes, and also into the two hemispheres as the medial longitudinal fissure does.
