•A large irregular bone situated at the base and side of the skull. The temporal
bone is connected with the mandible (the jaw bone) via the
temporomandibular (TM) joint.
•The temporal bone is formed of three parts (squamous, tympanic and
petrous) that are distinct at birth but then fuse. The petrous portion of the
temporal bone contains the structures of the inner ear.
•Landmarks:
–Squama: flat portion of the temporal bone forming the anterior and superior part
of the temple
–Zygomatic process: process forming part of the cheek
–Petrous portion: internal, forming part of the floor of the cranium. Contains the
ear canal and internal ear structures.
–Mandibular fossa: socket between squama and petrous portion, articulates with
the condyle of the mandible (TMJ)
–External auditory meatus: opening to the ear canal
–Mastoid process: bony prominence behind the external auditory meatus
–Styloid process: looks like an elephant’s tusk located between the mastoid
process and the jaw. Acts as a point of attachment for muscles and ligaments.

from the Latin "parietalis"
meaning "belonging to the
wall."
•It articulates (joins) with the
other parietal bone in the
midline (top of the head),
with the frontal bone in front
of it, with the occipital bone
behind it, and with the
sphenoid and temporal bones
lower down on the side of
the skull.

•An irregularly shaped, spongy bone that provides the floor of the front part of the
skull and the roof of the nasal cavity.
•The ethmoid consists of two masses of thin plates enclosing air cells and looks
like a sieve.
•Landmarks:
–Lateral masses: form most of the wall between the nasal cavity and the
orbits
–Perpendicular plate: forms the superior portion of the nasal septum
–Cribriform plate: forms the roof of the nasal cavity

Palpation of the Cranium
Occipital: Prone; place hands on the back of the head between partner’s ears. Slide your
fingers superiorly to the External Occipital Protuberance (EOP) two to three inches.
Then slide fingers laterally to the mastoid process behind the ears.
Superior Nuchal Lines: Prone or supine; locate the EOP and then slide your fingers
laterally moving your finger pads up and down feeling for the edge of the superior
nuchal line.
Parietal Bone: Prone or supine; place both hands on the top of the cranium. Palpate the
sagittal suture between the parietals. From the suture, palpate the parietal bones down
towards the ears
Temporal Bone: Supine; locate the mastoid process by placing your fingers behind the ear
lobe. The zygomatic arch can be palpated by placing your fingers anterior to the
external auditory meatus. Palpate anteriorly along the arch with your finger and
thumb. The flat squamous portion can be palpated superior to the mastoids and
external auditory meatus. The styloid process can be palpated between the mandible
and the mastoid process (palpate very gently)

46. 46
Frontal bone: Supine; palpate the region of the forehead from the eyebrows up toward the
coronal sutures
Mandible: Supine: place your fingers inferior to the bottom teeth and palpate the body of
the mandible. Move inferiorly and palpate the base of the mandible from the chin to
the angle of the mandible. Then curl your fingertips underneath the edge to palpate the
submandibular fossa. To palpate the angle of the mandible slide posterior alone the
base of the mandible. The angle is located between the body and the ramus. To palpate
the mandibular condyle place your finger anterior to the ear canal and below the
zygomatic arch. Ask your partner to open his/her mouth fully, the condyle will protrude
laterally and become more palpable.
Nasal bones: Supine; locate the bridge of the nose

internal jugular vein in the neck.
190

191. Cervical lymph nodes
191

192. •Cervical lymph node swelling can be a reliable
indicator of infection or other inflammation in the
area
•Generally, swollen cervical lymph nodes
(lymphadenopathy) are nonthreatening. Many
things can cause cervical lymph node swelling,
including:
•bronchitis
•common cold
•ear infection
•scalp infection
•strep throat
•Tonsillitis
•Oral infections
192

193. Axillary
lymph
nodes

194. •also known as adenopathy
•Unilateral swelling is often (but not always) a
symptom of an infection or disease on that side of the
body.
•Bilateral swelling tends to point to systemic illness—
that is, an illness affecting the entire body.
•Common causes of axillary lymphadenopathy include;
•Localized infection and short-term inflammation(e.g.,
a tattoo on arm)
•HIV
•Breast cancer
•Lymphoma
•Vaccinations
194

195. Abdominal/
inguinal
lymph
nodes

196. •More often than not, swollen inguinal lymph nodes are
caused by infections or injury affecting the lower body.
This can include the:
•groin
•genitals
•urinary tract
•leg
•Foot
•In rare cases, swollen lymph nodes in the groin could be
due to cancer. Some of these types of cancer include:
•melanoma
•testicular cancer
•ovarian cancer

197. Salivary
glands

198. Importance of saliva
•Lubricates and cleanses the oral cavity
•Aids in digestion through enzymatic process
•Helps to soften and mix food in mechanical
digestion
•Maintains the integrity of tooth surfaces
through chemical protection
•Prevents infections and promotes healing in
the oral cavity through antibacterial
protection
198

199. Types of saliva
•Serous saliva (protein fluid)
•Predominantly produced by the parotid
gland
•Mucous saliva (carbohydrate fluid)
•Produced by the sublingual and
submandibular gland (these two are
seromucous)
199

200. Saliva
•Serous saliva is watery, thin and contains
enzymes, antibodies and inorganic ions
involved in digestion and immune defense
•Mucous saliva is this and viscous involved
in lubrication
200

201. Minor salivary
glands
•Located through out the mouth
•Produces 5% of saliva in the mouth
•The von Ebner gland Is located on
the posterior surfaces of the tongue
alongside the circumvallate papillae

202. Parotid
gland
202

203. Parotid
gland
•Found of both sides of the
mouth in front of the ear
•connects to the stensen’s duct
which empties saliva into the
mouth
•Produces 25% of saliva
•Produces serous saliva, rich in
enzymes
•A small projection called the
parotid papillae is the opening
to the parotid duct can be felt
on the buccal vestibule
203

204. Sublingual
gland

205. Sublingual
•Located under the tongue, it
is the smallest of the major
glands and has the most
dispersal
•Produces 10% of saliva
•Associated with the
Bartholin’s duct
•Has small ducts known as
Rivinus ducts

•Located below the mandible
•Produces 65% of saliva
•Releases saliva through the Wharton’s duct
208

209. Salivary glands diseases
•Sialolithiasis : occurs when stones made of
calcium form in the salivary glands. These
stones can block the glands, and that can
partially or completely stop the flow of
saliva.
•Sialadenitis (or sialoadenitis) is an infection
involving a salivary gland. It often results
from stones blocking the gland. Staph or
strep bacteria can cause this infection. Older
adults and infants are most likely to develop
this condition.

211. Sialadenitis
(swollen
salivary
glands)

212. Sjogren syndrome
•the immune system primarily attacks the
glands that produce tears (the lacrimal
glands) and saliva (the salivary glands),
impairing the glands' ability to secrete these
fluids.
212

213. 213

214. Cancerous and noncancerous
tumors
•Salivary gland tumors, also known as
mucous gland adenomas or neoplasms, are
tumors that form in the tissues of salivary
glands.

217. Paranasal sinuses
•Paranasal sinuses are a group of four paired
air-filled spaces that surround the nasal
cavity.
•The paranasal sinuses have several
functions of which reducing the weight of
the head is the most important. Other
functions include air humidification and
aiding in voice resonance .
217

0

221. FRONTAL SINUSES
•Frontal sinuses are absent at birth but are
developed and well functioning by ag 6-8
years
•Maximum growth is achieved after puberty
•5% of people have absent frontal sinuses
•Assists in immune defense and air filtration
performed by the nose
221

222. Ethmoid
sinuses
22

223. ETHMOID SINUSES
•Present at birth and is complete by 5 years
•Acute ethmoiditis in childhood and
ethmoidal carcinoma may spread superiorly
causing meningitis and cerebrospinal fluid
leakage

225. Sphenoid sinuses
•They are not present at birth, they slowly
develop with the growth of the skull. Just
after puberty the sinuses finish
development.
225

226. Paranasal sinuses disease
•characterized by decreased aeration,
mucosal thickening, soft tissue masses (e.g.,
mucus retention cyst, polyp, mucocele,
tumor), air-fluid levels, and
demineralization or bone destruction.
•Inflammation in the posterior ethmoid and
sphenoid sinus causes optic nerve
dysfunction
