Okay, this video is going to be on describing your mandible and your maxilla, so two different bones that make up your mouth, and their bone markings. So right out here we have the mandible. A couple of different things that you need to know, let me see, is two foramen.
So we have what's called the mental foramen, and we have two of them. So the mental foramen is right here on the mental area, which is your chin, and we have another mental foramen. or a little hole right there on the other side. So mental foramen.
Don't get that confused with the mandibular foramen which is on the internal side of the mandible. So this would be your mandibular foramen and then over here we have one as well. So mandibular foramen.
Other things that you need to know are the mandibular condyle. So the mandibular condyle is right here is this flattened surface or projection from the mandible and the back of the mandible so this was mandibular condyle mandibular condyle right there the pointier part right here this is going to be your coronoid process and then we also have a coronoid process right there we also have this u-shaped region in between our coronoid process and our mandibular condyle and this u-shaped region is called the mandibular notch. We also have a mandibular angle, so don't get the notch and the angle confused. This one actually looks like a notch.
And then we have the mandibular angle, which is down here. So this angle or this region right here is considered the mandibular angle. The other thing it asks you to identify are alveolar processes.
And basically, these are the bone ridges that we can see. out here from there basically the result of if we kept going with our tooth we'd see the tooth root and now we get these protrusions from our mandible and those are called the alveolar processes so right here here basically associated with every tooth root we'll see this protrusion and those are the alveolar processes Okay, the next bone is your maxilla. So we'll move that over here.
Here's our maxilla right here. And you need to identify other alveolar processes. So again, anytime we're talking about an alveolar process, we're just talking about these ridges that are produced from the roots of the teeth themselves.
So this is an alveolar process, alveolar process, alveolar process, just like we saw down here when we're talking about our mandible region. You also need to know your palatine process. So palatine processes, because we're talking about the roof of the mouth or your palate, so this is your palatine bone basically for talking about inside.
So this is your palatine bone. In order to see the processes of the palatine, we actually have to open up our Maxilla. So here's the same bone. We're cutting open. Let's pretend the skull and let's look at the inside of the palate.
So underneath down here, this would be our palatine bone right here. If we're looking this way, if we took a sagittal plane or section of our skull, we would see the inside of our palate right here. And these are your palatine processes.
So these ridges right in there, we can't see them really. in the complete skull itself. And again, we have some maxillary sinuses.
Anytime we talk about a sinus, we're really just talking about the space within the bone itself. So it asks you which sinus is located. And here you would say maxillary sinus because that's the bone it's actually on. And that's it for your mandible and maxilla.
