ANATOMY AND OSTEOLOGY OF THE SKULL, THE SKULL FORAMINAE AND THE SCALP

AHN 5: The basic osteology of the skull is considered along with the boundaries and division of the cranial cavity into the anterior, middle and posterior cranial fossae. The foraminae and their contents are discussed as are the individual bones and their ossification. Includes: Occiptal, Temporal, Sphenoid, Parietal,Frontal, Ethmoid and the Palatine bones. The anatomy of the scalp and its neurovasculature are considered as is the temporal fossa and the Gillies approach to simple malar and zygomatic arch fracture. The next podcast (AHN 6) discusses the Cranial Nerves and the Brainstem Nuclei.
