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
