Thanks for uploading these videos. Currently taking anatomy and physiology and I find memorizing these bones to be a daunting task. Could you make a video about how the facial and cranial bones interact with each other? I know you mention them in two separate videos but it would be appreciated if the information could be found in one spot
That's a great idea for a future video. The notes for this video and the cranial bone one are linked above, and that might help bring it all together too. Good luck with anatomy and physiology!
In my first anatomy exam i nearly aced it, I just got one wrong about the zygomatic process being part of the temporal bone and vice versa, the switched named were confusing at first and they caught me exhausted when I did that exam so I didn't pay attention.. but getting that question wrong helped me memorize it
Very good, as usual. I do wish you had made one thing clearer: the function of the conchae. You spoke of their place and number, but I'm not too clear on what they do.
Is it possible for these bones to change their relative position to each other in adulthood? e.g. through gradual pressure or through maybe sudden force etc.? Like is the tissue connecting them changeable?
Thank you for the comment, and you bring up a very good point. While there are 29 bones in the head, the ear ossicles and hyoid do not articulate with the other bones of the skull and are not considered part of the skull for that reason in most literature. They are instead categorized as accessory bones of the skull. However, it is perfectly acceptable to include the accessory bones in with the cranial and facial bones, and you will see that in some literature as well. Hope that helps, and thanks again!
The ethmoid and the sphenoid bones are the ones that I had difficulty with, identifying which is which from a frontal view of the skull. But the rest of the face bones and the cranial bones are quite easy to remember
