    Study Notes

    The Cranium

    • The cranium is comprised of 8 bones.

    Frontal Bone

    • Type: Flat bone
    • Parts: Squamous, orbital, and nasal.
    • Location: At the front of the cranium.
    • Articulates: With parietal bones, ethmoid bone, lacrimal bones, maxillae, nasal bones, zygomatic bones, and sphenoid bone.
    • Blood Supply: Middle meningeal artery.
    • Functions:
      • Provides structure to the skull, eye orbits, and upper face.
      • Protects the frontal lobe of the brain.
      • Aids in facial expressions.

    Parietal Bones

    • Type: Flat bones.
    • Parts: Frontal, occipital, sphenoidal, and mastoid angles.
    • Location: Articulate with the frontal bone, occipital bone, temporal bone, and sphenoid bone.
    • Blood Supply: Middle meningeal artery.
    • Functions:
      • Provide structure to the skull.
      • Form the roof and sides of the cranium.

    Occipital Bone
