the skull internal surface

hypoglossal foramen

the hypoglossal nerves pass through the bone at the

foramen magnum

the larger hole in the base is called

palatine bone

the maxilla articulates with

cranial fossa

the posterior blank supports the cerebellum of the brain

nasal bone

the short stubby blank forms the bridge of the nose and attaches to the cartilages that form most of the skeleton of the external nose

sella turcica of sphenoid bone

the sphenoid bone contains a saddle like depression called the

Greater wings of sphenoid of the cranium

the sphenoid bone vaguely resembles a butterfly or bat. projecting laterally in the bone are the two

mandible

the strongest facial bone is the

jugular foramen

the blank allows passage of the internal jugular vein which drains blood from the brain

squamosal suture and lambdoidal suture

the blank and blank are Also seen in this plate

Sphenoid Sinus (Sphenoid Bone)

the blank can be both superior and sagittal views

styloid process

the blank extends inferiorly at the mastoid area of the temporal bone and is the point of attachment for neck muscles

lesser wing

the blank form a portion of the medial walls of the orbits and a portion of the cranial floor

foramen ovale

the blank in this bone is a site of nerve passages

ethmoid bone

the blank is a complex bone found between the sphenoid bone and the nasal bone

vomer bone

the blank is a slender plow-shaped bone located within the nasal cavity where it forms part of the nasal septum

frontal bone

the blank is also in the superior view

internal acoustic meatus

the blank is the opening for blood vessels that supply and drain the inner ear

lambdoidal suture

the blank is the point of articulation between this bone and the occipital bone

maxilla

the blank is visible in the sagittal section

1) squamosal suture 2) temporal bone

the blank marks the boundary between the blank and the parietal bones

frontal sinus

within the bone an outpocket known as the

occipital bone

Bone that protrudes at the base of the skull

sphenoid bone

a major bone in the floor of the cranium is the

basioccipital bone

a narrow structure called the blank is where the occipital bone joins with the sphenoid bone

parietal bone

adjacent to the occipital bone is the

cribriform plates

at the superior surface of the ethmoid bone there are two blank which support portions of the anterior surface of the brain

crista galli

between the cribriform plates is a triangular projection called the

foramen rotundum, Spinosum, and Lacerum

other sites of passages are the

perpendicular plate

projecting in the inferior aspect of the ethimoid bone is the
