Atlanto-occipital joint
30
The occipital bone articulates with six bones:
Two parietal bones * Two temporal bones * Sphenoid * Atlas (C1)
31
Complex structures that house the delicate organs of hearing and balance.
Temporal Bones
32
It is situated between the greater wing of the sphenoid bone anteriorly and the occipital bone posteriorly.
Temporal Bones
33
an arch of bone extending anteriorly from the squamous portion of the temporal bone.
Zygomatic process
34
concave depression that receives the mandibular condyle of the jaw.
Temporomandibular fossa
35
It is inferior to the zygomatic process and anterior to the EAM.
Temporomandibular fossa
36
formed by the articulation of the mandibular condyle with the temoporomandibular fossa.
Temporomandibular joint
37
a slender bony projection projecting inferior to the mandible and anterior to the EAM.
Styloid process
38
a thin upper portion that forms part of the wall of the skull.
Squamous portion
39
area posterior to the EAM with a prominent mastoid process.
Mastoid portion
40
Petrous portion - also called as
petrous pyramid or pars petrosa
41
houses the organs of hearing and equilibrium, including the mastoid air cells.
Petrous portion
42
thickest and densest bone in the cranium.
Petrous portion
43
upper border or ridge of the petrous pyramids. It corresponds to the level of TEA.
Petrous ridge (petrous apex)
44
an opening or orifice near the center of the petrous pyramid on the posterior surface just superior to the jugular foramen
Internal acoustic meatus
45
to transmit the nerves of hearing and equilibrium.
Internal acoustic meatus
46
Each temporal bone articulates with three cranial bones:
* Parietal bone * Occipital bone * Sphenoid
47
Each temporal bone also articulates with two facial bones:
Zygoma * Mandible

53
Left mastoid fontanel
Left asterion
54
certain regions where sutures join are slower in their ossification, and these are called
fontanels.
55
separates the frontal bone from the two parietal bones.
Coronal suture
56
separates the two parietal bones in the midline.
Sagittal suture
57
separates the two parietal bones from the occipital bone.
Lambdoidal suture
58
formed by the inferior junctions of the two parietal bones with their respective temporal bones.
formed by the inferior junctions of the two parietal bones with their respective temporal bones.
59
The articulations or joints of the cranium are called
sutures
60
suture are classified as
fibrous joints.
61
It lies primarily below the floor of the cranium.
Ethmoid Bone
62
small upper horizontal portion of the bone that contains many small openings or foramina through which segmental branches of the olfactory nerves pass
Cribriform plate
63
projecting superiorly from the cribriform plate
Crista galli (rooster’s comb)

Perpendicular plate
65
suspended from the undersurface of the cribriform plate on each side of the perpendicular plate.
Two lateral labyrinths (masses)
66
contain the ethmoid air cells or sinuses and help to form the medial walls of the orbits and the lateral walls of the nasal cavity.
Two lateral labyrinths (masses)
67
thin, scroll-shaped projections of bone that extend medially and downward from the medial wall of each labyrinth.
Superior and middle nasal conchae (turbinates)
68
The ethmoid articulates with two cranial bones:
* Frontal bone * Sphenoid
69
Ethmoid also articulates with eleven facial bones:
Right & left maxillae * Right & left lacrimal bones * Right & left nasal bones * Right & left palatine bones * Right & left inferior nasal conchae * Vomer

Clivus
74
smaller pair, triangular and are nearly horizontal, ending medially in the two anterior clinoid processes
Lesser wings
75
extend laterally from the sides of the body and form a portion of the floor of the cranium and a portion of the sides of the cranium.
Greater wings
