Anatomy

  • Long bones (e.g.. femur and humerus)
  • Short bones (e.g.. wrist and ankle bones)
  • Flat bones (e.g.. ribs)

Union of three parts that is marked by a cup shaped cavity (acetabulum) Ilium
•    Prominence of the hip
•    Superior border is the crest
•    Anterosuperior spine-projection at the anterior tip of the crest
•    Corresponding projections on the posterior part are the posterosuperior and posteroinferior iliac spines
•    Greater sciatic notch-located beneath the posterior part
•    Most is a smooth concavity (iliac fossa)
•    Posteriorly it is rough and articulates with the sacrum in the formation of the sacroiliac joint

Pubic bone

The Inferior Wall of the Orbit

  • The thin inferior wall of the orbit or the floor is formed mainly by the orbital surface of the maxilla and partly by the zygomatic bone, and orbital process of the palatine bone.
  • The floor of the orbit forms the roof of the maxillary sinus.
  • The floor is partly separated from the lateral wall of the orbit by the inferior orbital fissure.

Intrinsic Muscles of the Tongue

The Superior Longitudinal Muscle of the Tongue

  • The muscle forms a thin layer deep to the mucous membrane on the dorsum of the tongue, running from its tip to its root.
  • It arises from the submucosal fibrous layer and the lingual septum and inserts mainly into the mucous membrane.
  • This muscle curls the tip and sides of the tongue superiorly, making the dorsum of the tongue concave.

 

The Inferior Longitudinal Muscle of the Tongue

  • This muscle consists of a narrow band close to the inferior surface of the tongue.
  • It extends from the tip to the root of the tongue.
  • Some of its fibres attach to the hyoid bone.
  • This muscle curls the tip of the tongue inferiorly, making the dorsum of the tongue convex.

 

The Transverse Muscle of the Tongue

  • This muscle lies deep to the superior longitudinal muscle.
  • It arises from the fibrous lingual septum and runs lateral to its right and left margins.
  • Its fibres are inserted into the submucosal fibrous tissue.
  • The transverse muscle narrows and increases the height of the tongue.

 

The Vertical Muscle of the Tongue

  • This muscle runs inferolaterally from the dorsum of the tongue.
  • It flattens and broadens the tongue.
  • Acting with the transverse muscle, it increases the length of the tongue.

  • Articulations

    Classified according to their structure, composition,and movability
    •    Fibrous joints-surfaces of bones almost in direct contact with limited movement
        o    Syndesmosis-two bones united by interosseous ligaments
        o    Sutures-serrated margins of bones united by a thin layer of fibrous tissue
        o    Gomphosis-insertion of a cone-shaped process into a socket

  • 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

Innervation of the Skin

  • Innervation of the skin is mainly through the three branches of the trigeminal nerve (CN V).
  • Some skin over the angle of the mandible and anterior and posterior of the auricle is supplied by the great auricular nerve from the cervical plexus.
  • Some cutaneous branches of the auricular branch of the facial nerve also supplies skin on both sides of the auricle.
  • The trigeminal nerve is the general sensory nerve to the head, particularly the face, and is the motor nerve to the muscles of mastication.

The Ophthalmic Nerve

  • This is the superior division of the trigeminal nerve, the smallest of the three branches and is wholly sensory.
  • The ophthalmic nerve divides into three branches: the nasociliary, frontal and lacrimal just before entering the orbit through the superior orbital fissure.
  • The nasociliary nerve supplies the tip of the nose through the external nasal branch of the anterior ethmoidal nerve.
  • The frontal nerve is the direct continuation of CN V1 and divides into two branches, the supraorbital and supratrochlear.
  • The supratrochlear nerve supplies the middle part of the forehead.
  • The supraorbital nerve supplies the lateral part and the front of the scalp.
  • The lacrimal nerve, the smallest of the main ophthalmic branches, emerges over the superolateral orbital margin to supply the lacrimal gland and the lateral part of the upper eyelid.

The Maxillary Nerve

  • This is the intermediate division of the trigeminal nerve.
  • It has three cutaneous branches.
  • The infraorbital nerve is the largest terminal branch of the maxillary nerve.
  • It passes through the infraorbital foramen and breaks up into branches that supplies the skin on the lateral aspect of the nose, upper lip and lower eyelid.
  • The zygomaticofacial nerve, a small branch of the maxillary, emerges from the zygomatic bone from a foramen with the same name.
  • It supplies the skin over the zygomatic bone.
  • The zygomaticotemporal nerve emerges from the zygomatic bone from foramen of the same name.
  • It supplies the skin over the temporal region.

The Mandibular Nerve

  • This is the inferior division of the trigeminal nerve.
  • Of the three division of the trigeminal nerve, CN V3 is the only one that carries motor fibres (to the muscles of mastication).
  • The main sensory branches of the mandibular nerve are the buccal, auriculotemporal, inferior alveolar and lingual nerves.
  • The buccal nerve is a small branch of the mandibular that emerges from deep to the ramus of the mandible.
  • It supplies the skin of the cheek over the buccinator muscle, the mucous membrane lining the cheek, and the buccal surface of the gingiva.
  • The auriculotemporal nerve passes medially to the neck of the mandible and then turns superiorly, posterior to its head and anterior to the auricle. It then crosses over the root of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, deep to the superficial temporal artery.
  • It supplies the auricle, external acoustic meatus, tympanic membrane, and the skin in the temporal region.
  • The inferior alveolar nerve is the large terminal branch of the posterior division of the mandibular nerve (the lingual nerve is the other terminal branch).
  • It enters the mandible through the mandibular foramen to the mandibular canal. In the canal, it gives branches to the mandibular teeth.
  • Opposite the mental foramen, this nerve divides into the mental nerve and the incisive nerve.
  • The incisive nerve supplies the incisor teeth, the adjacent gingiva and the mucosa of the lower lip.
  • The mental nerve emerges from the mental foramen and supplies the skin of the chin and the skin and mucous membrane of the lower lip and gingiva.
  • The lingual nerve is the smaller terminal branch of the mandibular nerve.
  • It supplies the general sensory fibres to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, the floor of the mouth and the gingivae of the mandibular teeth.
