Document Summary

Special senses: eye (orbit, ear (outer/middle/inner, olfaction (nasal cavity, taste (oral cavity) Wont loose core body heat + water from the respiratory tract, as it travels through respiratory tract: max treatment of air. Foodstuffs: reduce size for swallowing, masticatory apparatus = teeth, moving jaw, muscle attachments. Paranasal sinuses: air filled cavities, communicate with and drain into nasal cavity (lined with similar mucous membrane) Bony case for the brain (8 bones) Intramembranous ossification, do not start as cartilage, rather a clump of connective tissue precursor cells: frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital. Irregular bones with flat portions, frontal bone, sphenoid and temporal bone. Viscerocranium: facial skeleton (14 bones, surrounding mouth, nose, orbit. Responsible for sound conduction from outer ear to inner ear (cocclear) Made up of frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital bones.
