NOTICES FOR STUDENTS:
Tuesday, 1st of April 2025
Just when you thought you had become experts in learning about bones and joints at a speed you had never experienced before, here comes the skull! This part of the skeleton is completely different from the other parts. Don't forget that the appearance of everything in our body, including the bones of the skull, is the result of the specific functional properties of the body parts, and the head is no exception! You have already learned that we immediately start to ‘disassemble/divide’ body parts into smaller units, so we do the same with the skull: neurocranium & viscerocranium and cranial basis in addition to calvaria & mandibule…
Some of the bones of the skull have really interesting names: ethmoid, sphenoid, inferior nasal concha,vomer…
In the head, we have two types of cavities that we call sinuses, what is the drastic difference between them? Why and how do we divide the neurocranium into the cranial base and calvaria? Why (apart from making student life difficult) do we have so many openings, canals, fissures, impressions, grooves on the base? Openings names vary from the one we call "magnum" (and it's not ice cream 😊), to "lacerated", "dotted", "round", "oval"... Oh my goodness! A real anatomical treat for the mid-week teaching break! But please, do not underestimate the amount and quality of time you will need to "wrestle" with the skull! If you are making estimates of time for processing the material, in the case of the skull, it would be a good idea to multiply each of your estimates by at least two! Good luck! We are having a great time, aren't we?
See you on Thursday!
Your happy anatomy teaching staff 😊
