Frontal sinus level

This tutorial explores the anatomy of the head at the frontal sinus level. It covers the paranasal sinuses, focusing on the frontal sinus, and examines the frontal bone. The video delves into the dura mater and cerebral structures, highlighting the cerebral falx and superior sagittal sinus. It also discusses the lobes of the brain, particularly the frontal and parietal lobes, and their associated gyri and sulci. The tutorial concludes with an overview of cranial sutures and muscles, including the temporalis and frontalis muscles.

What is the primary function of the frontal sinus?

• To assist in hearing

• To produce mucus and lighten the weight of the skull

• To provide structural support to the skull

• To aid in digestion

Which structure is a continuation of the dura mater between the brain's hemispheres?

• Medulla oblongata

What is the role of the superior sagittal sinus?

• To connect the two hemispheres of the brain

• To drain cerebrospinal fluid into the venous system

• To produce cerebrospinal fluid

• To protect the brain from injury

Which gyrus is responsible for primary motor functions?

• Marginal sulcus

• Precentral gyrus

Where is the temporalis muscle located?

• On the posterior side of the skull

• On the anterior side of the skull

• On the lateral sides of the skull

• On the inferior side of the skull

What is the function of the frontalis muscle?

• To raise the eyebrows

• To move the ears

• To open the mouth

• To close the jaw

What is the galea aponeurotica?

• A blood vessel in the brain
