The vomer is fused to the sphenoid and moves wherever it goes!
When the SBS is in flexion
The ethmoid will move in the same direction as the __________
When the SBS is in flexion

Describe the vault contact
- Index fingers = greater sphenoid wings
- Middle fingers = anterior to ear
- Ring fingers = mastoid process
- Pinky fingers = occiput
- Thumbs = frontal
What is an SBS lateral strain named for?
What is it?
Named for the direction of the base of the sphenoid
What is the direction of motion for the SBS lateral strain?
Both the sphenoid and occiput move in the SAME DIRECTION
