Anatomy

->The sides and base of the skull are formed partly by these bones.
->Each bone consists of four morphologically distinct parts that fuse during development (squamous, petromastoid, and tympanic parts and the styloid process).
->The flat squamous part is external to the lateral surface of the temporal lobe of the brain.
->The petromastoid part encloses the internal ear and mastoid cells and forms part of the base of the skull.
->The tympanic part contains the bony passage from the auricle (external ear), called the external acoustic meatus. The petromastoid part also forms a portion of the bony wall of the tympanic cavity (middle ear). The meatus and tympanic cavity are concerned with the transmission of sound waves.
->The slender, pointed styloid process of the temporal bone gives attachment to certain ligaments and muscles (e.g., the stylohyoid muscle that elevates the hyoid bone).
->The temporal bone articulates at sutures with the parietal, occipital, sphenoid, and zygomatic bones.
->The zygomatic process of the temporal bone unites with the temporal process of the zygomatic bone to form the zygomatic arch. The zygomatic arches form the widest part of the face.
->The head of the mandible articulates with the mandibular fossa on the inferior surface of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone.
->Anterior to the mandibular fossa is the articular tubercle.
->Because the zygomatic arches are the widest parts of the face and are such prominent facial features, they are commonly fractured and depressed. A fracture of the temporal process of the zygomatic bone would likely involve the lateral wall of the orbit and could injure the eye.

The Oral Cavity

  • The oral cavity (mouth) consists of two parts: the vestibule and the mouth proper.

  • The vestibule communicates with the exterior through the orifice of the mouth.

Internal Muscles of the Pharynx

  • The internal, chiefly longitudinal muscular layer, consists of 3 muscles: stylopharyngeus, palatopharyngeus, and salpingopharyngeus.
  • They all elevate the larynx and pharynx during swallowing and speaking.

The Stylopharyngeus Muscle

  • This is a long, thin, conical muscles that descends inferiorly between the external and internal carotid arteries.
  • It enters the wall of the pharynx between the superior and middle constrictor muscles.
  • Origin: styloid process of temporal bone.
  • Insertion: posterior and superior borders of thyroid cartilage with palatopharyngeus muscle.
  • Innervation: glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX).
  • It elevates the pharynx and larynx and expands the sides of the pharynx, thereby aiding in pulling the pharyngeal wall over a bolus of food.

The Palatopharyngeus Muscle

  • This is a thin muscle and the overlying mucosa form the palatopharyngeal arch.

The Salpingopharyngeus Muscle

  • This is a slender muscle that descends in the lateral wall of the pharynx.
  • The over lying mucous membrane forms the salpingopharyngeal fold.
  • Origin: cartilaginous part of the auditory tube.
  • Insertion: blends with palatopharyngeus muscle.
  • Innervation: through the pharyngeal plexus.
  • It elevates the pharynx and larynx and opens the pharyngeal orifice of the auditory tube during swallowing.

  • Ossification

  • Intramembranous-found in the flat bones of the face
    • Mesenchymal cells cluster and form strands
    • Strands are cemented in a uniform network. Which is known as osteoid
    • Calcium salts are deposited; osteoid is converted to bone
    • Trabeculae are formed and make cancellous bone with open spaces known as marrow cavities
    • Periosteum forms on the inner and outer surfaces of the ossification centers
    • Surface bone becomes compact bone
  • Endochondral-primary type of ossification In the human
