Osteology - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Endochondral Ossification: Replaces cartilage with bone.
      - Surface Remodeling: Osteoclasts resorb, osteoblasts deposit bone on the mandible's surface.
      - Primary Displacement: Forward and downward growth of the mandible.
      - Secondary Displacement: Remodeling to accommodate developing teeth.
  - - - Primary Displacement: Maxillary tuberosity growth pushes the entire maxilla forward, affecting its position.
      - Secondary Displacement: The cranial base growth influences the downward and forward movement of the maxilla.
    - - Frontomaxillary Suture: Marks frontal-maxilla boundary.
        
        Zygomaticotemporal Suture: Connects maxilla to zygomatic bone.
        
        Pterygopalatine Suture: Links maxilla to pterygoid and palatine bones.
- - - - Zygomatic bones: Form cheekbones and articulate with cranium.
      - Maxilla: Forms upper jaw, orbital cavities, and palate.
      - Mandible: Mobile bone with lower teeth.
      - Lacrimal bones: Medial orbit wall and tear drainage.
      - Palatine bones: Create hard palate and nasal cavity sidewall.
