similar to the nasal septum, a long thing protusion on ethmoid
crista gali on ethmoid
little process on opposite side of perpendicular plate
cribriform plate on ethmoid
area that looks cribriform right behind crista galli

sphenoid body
medium portion
sphenoid sinus
right behind ethnoid sinus
sella turcica
indent in middle top of sphenoid bone
greater wing sphenoid
large wing on either side of sphenoid
lesser wing sphenoid
smaller wing above greater wing
pterygold process
lower processes on bottom of either side of sphenoid
optic canal
where the sphenoid connect to the eye, small ident closer to nose
superior orbital canal
where sphenoid meets behind the eye, a longer almost vertical canal
foramen ovale
larger oval shaped hole on either side of bottom of foramen
foramen spinosum
smaller hole next to ovale
foramen rotundum
medium sized hole next to ovale. smaller than ovale, biger than spinosum
ethmoid perpendicular plate
flattened lamina at midline, forms part of nasal septum and articulates inferiorly with the vomer
ethmoid crista galli
little thing on top of ethmoid, separates olfactory bulbs
ethmoid orbital plate
where ethmoid meets the eye
middle nasal concha
wings coming off of ethnoid on either side of bottom of perpendicular plate
maxilla frontal process
upper part of maxiilla on sinus and eye
maxilla alveolar process
where maxilla branches out to the teeth
maxilla pallatine process
inner of maxilla.
maxilla infraorbital foramen
little indent right below eye socket, not inside
maxillary sinus
right and left side of sinus
zygomatic temporal process
furthest part of zygomatic bone that connects to temporal
mandible body
mid left and right sides of mandible
mandible ramus
the angular part of mandible when it branches off from the body
mandible angle
the angle between the ramus and body
condylar process of mandible
end of mandible that connects to the anterior of temporal bone. consists of process and head of mandible
mandible head
the end of the condylar process
coronoid process of mandible
the process closer to the front of the school than the condylar process
mandibular notch
in between condyler process and coronoid process
mental foramen
little formamen near front of mandible
mandibular foramen
foramen under mandibular notch
