Study Notes
Frontal Bone
- Located in the forehead region of the skull
- Has a flat, rectangular shape
- Single bone, non-pair bone in the skull
- Consists of six main parts: squamous part, nasal part, orbital plates, and zygomatic plates
- Part of the frontal bone consists of two orbital plates and two zygomatic plates
Cranium
- Formed by the frontal bone, parietal bones, occipital bone, temporal bones, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone
- Frontal bone, parietal bones, and occipital bone form the superior and lateral walls of the cranium
- Occipital bone forms the most posterior superior part of the neurocranium
- Parietal bones are bilateral and overlie the parietal lobes of the brain
Joints
- The only movable joint in the whole neurocranium and viscerocranium is the mandible (jawbone)
- Immobile joints occur between adjacent bones of the skull
Development
- In newborns, the frontal sinuses are absent or small
- The frontal suture runs down the midline of the forehead in newborns but disappears at about 8 years old
