Surrounds and protects the brain.
Cranial bone
Consists of all the bones, cartilage and ligaments of the body

Cavities house softer structures like these 5 cavities
Cranial cavity
Orbitals
Nasal cavity
Oral cavity
Paranasal sinuses
Forms the forehead and parts of cranium
Frontal bone
What are the boney markings of the frontal bone
Glabella
Superorbital margin
Superorbital foramen
Which cranial bone has no bony markings?
Parietal bone
Forms the posterior skull and posterior base of the cranial cavity.
Occipital bone
What are the boney markings of the occipital bone
External occipital protuberance
Superior nuchal line
Foramen magnum
Occipital condyles
Forms the lower lateral side of the skull
Temporal bones
What are the 7 boney markings of the temporal bone
Squamous portion
Zygomatic process
Mastoid process
External acoustic meatus
Mandibular fossa
Articular tubercle
Styloid process
Forms much of the base of central skull and part of temples
Sphenoid bone
What are the boney markings of the sphenoid bone
Greater and lesser wings
Stella turcica
Pituitary fossa
Medial and lateral pterygoid processes
This forms part of the orbit and nasal cavity
Ethmoid bone
What are the boney markings of the ethmoid bone
Perpendicular plate
Superior and middle nasal conchae
Crista galli
Cribiform plate
Olfactory foramina
This forms the lower jaw and it is the only moveable bone of the skull.
Mandible
What are the boney markings of the mandible
Body,ramus and angle
Coronoid and condualar processes
Mandibular notch
Mental foramina
Mental protuberance
Forms the upper jaw,most of the roof of the mouth, part of the orbit, the lateral base of the nose and it is also called the hard palate
Maxillary bone/Maxilla
What are the boney markings of the Maxillary bone
Alveolar process
Infraorbital foramen
Forms part of the orbit and they contain lacrimal glands that secrete tears
Lacrimal bones
Forms posterior portion of hard palate, Medial part of orbit and contributes to vertical section of nasal cavity
Palatine bone
It is also known as the cheekbones and forms much of the lateral part of the orbit
Zygomatic bone
What are the boney markings of the zygomatic bone
Temporal proccess
Zygomatic arch
Forms part of the nasal septum
Vomer
Forms any base (bridge and any lateral part of the nose
Nasal bones
Project into nasal cavity
Inferior nasal conchae
Project the eyeball and the muscles that move it.
The orbit
Project the eyeball and the muscles that move it.
The orbit
Is boarded by maxillae and nasal bones
Nasal cavity
Divides the nasal cavity and is formed by perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer and septal cartilage
Nasal Septum
Covered by mucous membranes and it is warm,filter and moistened inhaled air
Nasal conchae
Hollow air filled spaces found in frontal ,maxillary,sphenoid and ethmoid bones. while this connects to the nasal cavity and adds volume to the skull without adding any weight and adds resonance to voice
Paranasal sinuses
What are the 4 paranasal sinuses
Frontal sinus
Maxillary sinuses
Sphenoid sinus
Ethmoid sinus
