immovable joints that connects the cranial bones

18
Q

four principal sutures

A
  1. coronal
  2. sagittal
  3. lambdoid
  4. squamous
19
Q

the top of the skull which is often removed to view the interior is called

20
Q

8 bones of the cranium include:

A
  1. frontal bone
  2. two parietal bones
  3. two temporal bones
  4. occipital bone
  5. sphenoid bone
  6. ethmoid bone
21
Q

connected to the two parietal bones by the coronal suture

A

frontal bone

22
Q

known as forehead

A

frontal bone

23
Q

a smooth region of bone between the two orbits in the frontal bone

24
Q

forms the roof of both the orbit of the eye and the nasal cavity

A

frontal bone

25
one of the paranasal sinuses that the frontal bone has
frontal sinus
26
what does the frontal bone forms internally which supports the frontal lobes of the brain
anterior cranial fossa
27
joined medially by the sagittal sutures and connected to the occipital bone by the lambdoid suture
parietal bones
28
bones that make up the majority of the lateral portion of the skull along with the temporal bones
parietal bones
29
two sets of muscle attachment sites for the temporalis muscle that arch across the lateral surface of the parietal bone
superior temporal line and inferior temporal line
30
a major mastication (chewing) muscle
temporalis muscle
31
bones that are connected to the skull by the squamous sutures
temporal bones
32
it means "related to time"
temporal
33
three main regions of the temporal bone
1. squamous part 2. tympanic part 3. petrous part
34
region of the temporal bone where parietal bone meets superiorly
squamous part
35
it extends from the squamous part anteriorly toward the zygomatic bone of the face
zygomatic process
36
bridge across the side of the skull
zygomatic arch
