It is bounded medially by the sagittal crest or the temporal line, caudally by the nuchal crest, and ventrally by the zygomatic process of the temporal bone. The temporal fossa is continuous rostrally with the orbit. The temporal muscle arises from this temporal fossa on the frontal, parietal, and squamous temporal bones.

Caudal to the maxillary foramen are a number of small openings, most of them for the small nerves and vessels that pass through their respective alveolar canals to the roots of the two molar teeth and the caudal root of the last premolar.

is the only part of the petrosal portion of the temporal bone to reach the exterior. It is small and lies caudal to the external acoustic meatus lateral and dorsal to the root of the prominent paracondylar process. The mastoid parts of the cleidocephalicus, sternocephalicus, and splenius muscles terminate on the mastoid process.

round foramen
opens from the cranial cavity into the alar canal. The maxillary nerve from the trigeminal nerve enters the alar canal from the cranial cavity through this round foramen. The nerve courses rostrally and leaves the alar canal by the rostral alar foramen.
oval foramen
mandibular nerve from the trigeminal nerve leaves the cranial cavity through this opening.
Foramen lacerum
lies at the rostromedial edge of the tympanic bulla. A loop of the internal carotid artery protrudes through this opening. This loop is between the part of the internal carotid that is coursing rostrally in the carotid canal and the part that returns through the foramen lacerum and enters the cavernous sinus on the floor of the cranial cavity.
musculotubal canal
lateral to the foramen lacerum and caudal to the oval foramen. It is the bony enclosure of a cartilaginous tubular connection, the auditory tube, which runs from the middle ear to the nasopharynx.
tympano-occipital fissure
The glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory nerves course peripherally from the jugular foramen through the tympano-occipital fissure. Also passing through this fissure are the internal carotid artery, venous radicles of the vertebral and internal jugular veins, and sympathetic postganglionic axons from the cranial cervical ganglion.
hypoglossal canal
mandibular fossa
of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone articulates with the condyle of the mandible to form the temporo- mandibular joint.
retroarticular process
stylomastoid foramen
tympanic bulla and the mastoid process of the temporal bone. opening of the facial canal that conducts the facial nerve peripherally through the petrosal part of the temporal bone
___ keep roots of teeth apart
interradicular septae
hard palate
composed of the horizontal parts of the palatine, maxillary, and the incisive bones.
major palatine foramen
medial to the fourth cheek tooth. major palatine artery, vein, and nerve and their branches emerge through these foramina.
choanae
openings of the right and left nasal cavities into the nasopharynx. They are located at the caudal end of the hard palate, where the vomer articulates with the palatine bones.
formaen magnum
parts of the mandible
body- horizontal part
ramus- perpendicular part
alveolar border- contains alveoli for the roots of the teeth
masseteric fossa
insert of masseter
coronoid process
dorsal half of the ramus. medial surface has shallow depression for insertion of the temporal muscle.
mandibular foramen.
caudal opening of the mandibular canal, in the ramus and body of the mandible. It transmits the inferior alveolar artery and vein and the inferior alveolar nerve. It opens rostrally at the three mental foramina, where mental nerves supply sensory innervation to the adjacent lower lip and chin.
angular process
The pterygoid muscles insert on the medial surface of the mandible and on the angular process, masseter attaches laterally
condylar process
mandibular notch
Between the condylar process and the coronoid process is a U-shaped depression
Motor branches of the mandibular nerve pass across this notch to innervate the masseter muscle.

cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone
The numerous foramina in the cribriform plate transmit blood vessels and olfactory nerves from the olfactory epithelium of the caudal nasal cavity to the olfactory bulbs of the brain. Separates the cranium from the nasal cavity
hypophyseal fossa
sella turcica, on the dorsal surface of the basisphenoid, contains the hypophysis.

groove between the two nostrils
philtrum

nasal septum
The cartilaginous part, the septal cartilage, forms the rostral two thirds of this median partition. The osseous part of the nasal septum is formed by the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, the septal processes of the frontal and nasal bones, and the sagittal portion of the vomer.

dial surface of the maxilla. It lies in the middle of the nasal cavity but does not come into contact with the median nasal septum.

ethmoidal labyrinth
The cartilaginous part of the nasal septum forms the rostral two thirds of this median partition. It articulates with other cartilages at the nares, which prevent collapse of the nostrils. Ventrally, the septal cartilage fits into a groove formed by the vomer; dorsally, it articulates with the nasal bones where they meet at the midline.
