• Consists of the cranium and the bones of the face

• The cranium encloses cranial cavity

• Facial bones surround and protect the entrances to the respiratory and digestive tracts

• Superficial landmarks include the sutures

• Lambdoid

• Coronal

• Sagittal

• Squamous

• Fontanels permit skulls of infants and children to continue growing

Skulls of infants and children


• Vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx

• 7 cervical vertebrae

• 12 thoracic vertebrae

• 5 lumbar vertebrae

• Sacrum and coccyx are fused vertebrae

Vertebral column


Figure 7.16 The Vertebral Column

Figure 7.16


• Four spinal curves

• Primary (accommodation) curves = thoracic and sacral

• Secondary (compensation) curves = lumbar and cervical

Spinal curvature


• Typically has a body and vertebral arch

• Superior and inferior articular processes

• Separated by intervertebral discs

Vertebral anatomy

Figure 7.18


• Cervical

• Has distinctive shape

• Large relative size of vertebral foramen

• Costal processes with transverse foramina

• Notched spinous processes

Vertebral regions
