| Bone bordered by 4 sutures | parietal bone |
| 4 sutures that border parietal bone | sagittal, coronal, lambdoid, and squamous |
| serves as attachments of the terporalis muscle of the parietal bone | two temporal lines |
| lateral wall and part of floor of cranial cavity | temporal bones |
| encircled by squamous suture | squamous part of temporal bones |

| Growth plate (in infants only) | epiphyseal plate |
| Where bones form joints with other bones; where tendons, ligaments, & muscles attach,; and where blood vessels and nerves have passed | sutures |
| Parts of the sphenoid bone | greater wing, lesser wing, and body |
| Contributes to medial wall of eye orbit; lateral walls and roof of nasal cavity and nasal septum; internal between eyes | ethmoid bone |
| Three major portions of the ethmoid bone | perpendicular plate, cribform plate, and labyrinth |
| Forms superior two-thirds of nasal septum (top) | perpendicular plate |
| Forms roof of nasal cavity (bottom) | cribform plate |
| Attachment point of meninges | crista galli |
| Large mass on each side of perpendicular plate | labyrinth |
| How many facial bones? | 14 |
| Facial bones are made up of what bones? | 2 nasal bones, 2 maxillae, 2 zygomatic bones, 2 mandible, 2 lacrimal bones, 2 palatine bones, 2 inferior nasal conchae, and 1 vomer |
| Forms bridge of nose, supports cartilage that shape lower portions of nose and often fractured by a blow to the nose | nasal bone |
| Largest facial bone | maxillary |
| Forms upper jaw and meet each other at the median | maxillary bones |
| Boney points in between teeth | aveolar process |
| Socket that holds teeth | alveolus |
| Forms most of the hard palate | maxillary bones |
| Forms the roof of the mouth and floor of nasal cavity | palate |
| Larger in volume than frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid sinuses | maxillary sinus |
| Forms angle of the cheekbones and part of the lateral orbital walls | zygomatic bones |
| Formed from temporal process of zygomatic bone and zygomatic process of temporal bone | zygomatic arch |
| Strongest bone of the skull | mandible |
| Only bone of skull that moves noticeably | mandible |
| Supports lower teeth | mandible |
| Provides attachments for muscles of facial expressions and mastication (chewing) | mandible |
| Median cartilaginous joint in the fetus | mental symphysis |
| Develops as two separate bones in fetus and ossifies in early childhood | mental symphysis |
| Point of chin | mental protuberance |
| Body of this bone supports teeth | mandible |
| Ramus of mandible articulates with ? | cranium |
| Where body and ramus meet | angle of mandible |
| Bears the mandibular condyle | condylar process |
| Oval knob that articulates with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone forming the hinge temporomandibular joint | mandibular condyle |
| Process of insertion of temporalis muscle | coronoid process |
| Parts of mandible | condylar process, coronoid process, mandibular notch, and mandibular foramen |
| Forms part of the medial wall of each orbit | lacrimal bones |
| Smallest bone of skull | lacrimal bones |
| Houses lacrimal sac in life | lacrimal fossa |
| Tears collect HERE and drain into nasal cavity | lacrimal sac |
| L-shaped bones | palatine bones |
| Forms the posterior portion of the hard palate (part of the lateral nasal cavity wall and part of the orbital floor) | palatine bones |
