Question
Answer
show found in both of the maxillary bones and the mandible. They are what we called sockets when we were in nursery school.  
🗑
anterior fossa   show
🗑
auditory ossicles   show
🗑
show Has alveoli that secure the teeth. It is made up of two portions, inferiorly the base of the mandible and the superior portion, called the alveolar part of the mandible.  
🗑
show Extends superiorly from the ramus of the mandible. It includes the head of the mandible which is functionally important as this is where the mandible articulates with the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone.  
🗑
show Found between the frontal bone and the two parietal bones. It is an example of a synostosis.  
🗑
show extends superiorly from the anterior portion of the ramus. It is important in elevation and retraction of the mandible. Technically, this process translates to mean resembling a crown.  
🗑
cribriform plate   show
🗑
show It rises superiorly from the cribriform plate on its left and right sides. It extends superiorly between the frontal lobes of the brain. This helps stabilize the position of the brain.  
🗑
show a single bone of the cranium. It is anterior to the sphenoid and posterior to the nasal bones. It forms most of the area between the nasal cavity and the orbit of the eye.  
🗑
show Found in the temporal bone. Functionally it is important because sound enters the ear through this canal and comes in contact with the tympanic membrane (ear drum) at its deep end  
🗑
external occipital protuberance   show
🗑
facial nerve (VII)   show
🗑
foramen magnum   show
🗑
show This foramen of the sphenoid bone houses the mandibular nerve (V3) as it passes toward the mental foramen. This is the first of the three foramina it passes through.  
🗑
foramen rotundum   show
🗑
show This bone is a single bone of the cranium and the face, forming the forehead. It forms the roof for each of the orbits and the majority of the anterior cranial fossa. Superiorly it forms the coronal suture with the parietal bones.  
🗑
show The sinuses associated with the bones of the skull are air-filled cavities that are lined with mucous membranes. They are not well developed at birth.  
🗑
show This landmark of the sphenoid bone can be seen both on the outer surface of the skull as well as in the middle fossa of the cranium. It also makes up a large portion of the medial wall of the orbit.  
🗑
show Anteriorly the maxillary bone and posteriorly the palatine bone form this structure.  
🗑
hyoid bone   show
🗑
hypoglossal canal   show
🗑
hypoglossal nerve (XII)   show
🗑
show One of the three auditory ossicles. In nursery school we called it the anvil. Functionally it is important because in association with the other ossicles it helps amplify the pressure of vibrations associated with sound by about 20 times.  
🗑
inferior conchae   show
🗑
show Formed by the maxilla, the greater wing of the sphenoid, the palatine, and the zygomatic bones. The maxillary nerve (V2) passes through this fissure having come from the foramen rotundum and on its way to the infraorbital foramen.  
🗑
infraorbital foramen   show
🗑
show Found on the vertical portion of the petrous ridge of the temporal bone. The facial nerve (VII) and vestibulocochlear (VIII) nerves pass into this canal. They separate once inside the temporal bone.  
🗑
jugular foramen   show
🗑
lacrimal bone   show
🗑
lambdoidal suture   show
🗑
show This structure is of the sphenoid bone which forms part of the anterior fossa of the cranium as well as part of the orbit. The projections that form a border with the middle fossa.  
🗑
malleus   show
🗑
mandible   show
🗑
mandibular (sigmoid) notch   show
🗑
mandibular foramen   show
🗑
show This is the surface that the head of the condyloid process of the mandible articulates with. Although this is technically a hinge joint, it may also be rotated, depressed, elevated, protracted and retracted.  
🗑
mastoid process   show
🗑
maxillae (maxillary bones)   show
🗑
maxillary nerve (V2)   show
🗑
show This is the last foramen that the mandibular nerve (V3) passes through as it courses away from the brain.  
🗑
middle conchae   show
🗑
show Contains the temporal lobe of the brain and the sphenoid (greater wings) and temporal bones.  
🗑
nasal bones   show
🗑
nasal septum   show
🗑
show This is where many muscles and ligaments of the neck and back attach to the skull. There is a superior, inferior, and median one of these.  
🗑
occipital bone   show
🗑
show These articulate with the superior articular facets of the atlas (C1). It functions as a hinge joint allowing flexion and extension of the head. This foramen is important as it transmits the hypoglossal nerve (XII).  
🗑
show Found in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone and is a sensory nerve for smell.  
🗑
optic canal   show
🗑
show Can be found going through the optic canal on the sphenoid bone. It is a sensory nerve for vision.  
🗑
palatine bones   show
🗑
palatine process of the maxilla   show
🗑
show These two bones are cranial bones. They articulate anteriorly with the frontal bone at the coronal suture, posterior with the occipital bone at the lambdoidal suture, and inferiorly with the temporal bone at the squamosal suture.  
🗑
show The superior portion of the bony nasal septum, which separates the left and right nasal cavities. It extends inferiorly in the median sagittal plane from the rest of the ethmoid bone.  
🗑
petrous ridge   show
🗑
posterior fossa   show
🗑
show There is a medial and lateral plate for this process. They project inferiorly from the greater wing. The medial process of the sphenoid bone articulate with the perpendicular plates of the palatine bones anteriorly.  
🗑
ramus (rami)   show
🗑
show This suture is found between the two parietal bones. It is an example of a synostosis.  
🗑
sella turcica   show
🗑
show This single bone is considered a cranial bone. It articulates with every other cranial bone. It also articulates with the zygomatic, vomer, maxillary, and palatine bones. The greater wing and lesser wing are landmarks of this bone.  
🗑
squamosal suture   show
🗑
Stapes   show
🗑
styloid process   show
🗑
stylomastoid foramen   show
🗑
superior conchae   show
🗑
superior orbital fissure   show
🗑
show Passageway for the ophthalmic nerve (V1) as it moves onto the face. This is the second of the two foramina it passes through. The order of foramina that it passes through is superior orbital fissure and supraorbital foramen.  
🗑
Sutures   show
🗑
temporal bone(s)   show
🗑
show An example of a structure that is named for the bone it articulates with rather than the bone it is part of. Forms the anterior portion of the zygomatic arch and projects posteriorly to where it articulates with the zygomatic process of the temporal bone.  
🗑
show A single bone of the face. It Is of functional importance because it forms the inferior portion of the nasal septum. It starts as a large portion of that septum posteriorly and then narrows to a point at is anterior end.  
🗑
zygomatic arch   show
🗑
show Facial bones. They articulate posteromedially with the sphenoid bone, posterolaterally with the temporal bone, superiorly with the frontal bone and anteriorly with the maxillary bones. This bone is a portion of the bony orbit of the eye.  
🗑
show Named for the bone it articulates with rather than the bone it is part of. Forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch and projects anteriorly to where it articulates with the temporal process of the zygomatic bone.  
🗑
