cranial bones
frontal bone, parietal bones, occipital bone, temporal bones, sphenoid bone, ethmoid bone
facial bones
maxilla, palatine bones, zygomatic bones, lacrimal bones, nasal bones, vomer bone, inferior nasal conchae, mandible
frontal bone
supraorbital foramen (or notch): transmits blood vessels and nerves frontal sinus: two present
parietal bones
sagittal suture: where parietal bones meet
coronal suture: where parietal bones meet frontal bone
occipital bone
lambdoid suture: where parietal bones meet occipital bone
external occipital protuberance: midline projection on posterior surface
foramen magnum: where brainstem and spinal cord meet
occipital condyle: articulates with first cervical vertebra
temporal bones
squamous suture: where the parietal bones meet the temporal bones
external acoustic meatus: opening of outer ear
mandibular fossa: articulates with mandible
mastoid process: attachment site for muscles
styloid process: long, pointed projection
carotid canal: transmits internal carotid artery
jugular foramen: transmits internal jugular vein
internal acoustic meatus: opening for cranial nerves
zygomatic process: forms much of zygomatic arch
sphenoid bone
sella turcica: saddle shaped depression for pituitary gland
greater and lesser wings: lateral extensions
sphenoid sinus- two present
ethmoid bone
cribriform plate: contains many olfactory foramina for olfactory nerves
perpendicular plate: forms most of the nasal septum
superior nasal concha: small extension in nasal cavity
middle nasal concha: medium extensions in the nasal cavity
ethmoidal sinus: many present
crista galli: attachment site for some brain membranes
maxilla
maxillary sinus: largest sinus
palatine process: forms anterior hard plate
alveolar process: supports the teeth
alveolar arch: forms the alveolar process
palatine bones
l shapes bones
zygomatic bones
temporal process: extension that joins zygomatic process
zygomatic arch: formed by zygomatic and temporal processes
Cheek bone
lacrimal bones
two, thin and scalelike
nasal bones
forms bridge of nose
vomer bone
forms part of nasal septum
inferior nasal concha
two, largest of the conchae
