A

foramen cecum

28
Q

What is the posterior boundary of the middle cranial fossa?

A

A

all 3 division: ophthalmic nerve, maxillary nerve, and mandibular nerve

46
Q

What is the third layer of the scalp associated with?

A

muscular component of the scalp

47
Q

What muscle(s) are specifically associated with the scalp?
