The [] are located underneath the opening to the auditory meatus. It acts as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments, such as the stylomandibular ligament of the TMJ.
The styloid processes are located underneath the opening to the auditory meatus. It acts as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments, such as the stylomandibular ligament of the TMJ.
Label the fontanelles [2]

Acceptable responses: Occipital, Occipital bone, Right occipital, Right occipital bone
The olfactory nerve passes through which foramen [1]
Cribiform plate
The glossopharnygeal nerve passes through which foramen? [1]
Jugular foramen
The facial nerve passes through which foramen? [1]
Internal acoustic meatus
The maxillary nerve passes through which foramen [1]
Foramen rotundum
The occulomotor nerve passes through which foramen? [1]
Superior orbital fissure
Following a head injury a patient presents with CSF leaking from their nose and a loss of smell.
Which skull bone have they most likely fractured?
Acceptable responses: Ethmoid, ethmoid bone, cribiform plate of ethmoid, cribiform plate
The olfactory nerve passes through the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone to enter the nasal cavity. The ethmoid bone is also part of the neurocranium and if it becomes fractured and tears the meninges then CSF can leak from the subarachnoid space into the nose.
The internal carotid artery enters the skull via the [] this is an oblique channel through the skull base.
It then emerges above foramen [].
The internal carotid artery enters the skull via the carotid canal, this is an oblique channel through the skull base.
It then emerges above foramen lacerum.
The middle meningeal artery is a small artery which enters the skull through foramen [] and travels inside the skull passing deep the [].
The middle meningeal artery is a small artery which enters the skull through foramen spinosum and travels inside the skull passing deep the pterion.
The internal jugular vein drains venous blood from the inside of the skull. It leaves the skull via the []
The internal jugular vein drains venous blood from the inside of the skull. It leaves the skull via the jugular foramen.
