The Skull

The temporal bone is composed of four parts: squamous, mastoid, petrous, and tympanic.

The outer part of the temporal bone, located near the temporal lobe of the brain.

Part of the temporal bone containing mastoid air cells, important for hearing.

Inner part of the temporal bone housing the internal and middle ear.

Portion including the external auditory meatus and tympanic cavity (middle ear).

The upper jaw bone, including sockets for upper teeth, and the largest air sinus (maxillary sinus).

The lower jaw bone. It's the strongest face bone, and the only movable jawbone of the skull.

Structure in the nose, separating the nostrils, formed by parts of the ethmoid and vomer bones,

The suture that joins the parietal bones to the occipital bone at the back of the skull.

The suture that runs lengthwise along the middle of the skull, joining the two parietal bones.

The point where the lambdoid and sagittal sutures meet, located at the back of the skull.

Flexible fibrous tissues that connect the bones of the fetal skull, allowing for brain growth.

A skull positioning line running from the inferior orbital margin to the upper border of the external auditory meatus.

A skull positioning line running from the Nasion through the outer Canthus of the eye to the center of the external auditory meatus.

A skull positioning line connecting the centers of the orbits, perpendicular to the median Sagittal plane.

A skull positioning line at 90 degrees to the anthropological line, through the center of the external auditory meatus.

The skull serves as the protective barrier for the brain and provides structural support for the face. It also houses components of the auditory and balance system.

The skull is composed of two main parts: the cranium, consisting of 8 bones, and the facial bones, totaling 14.

The cranium, or skull cap, includes bones like the frontal, parietal, and occipital. It provides the main protective structure for the brain.

The base of the skull contains bones like the temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid. This part of the skull supports the brain and provides openings for nerves and blood vessels.

The frontal bone forms the forehead and the upper part of the eye sockets. It contains sinuses that connect to the nasal cavities.

These two bones create the sides of the skull, behind the frontal bone. They connect to other bones through various sutures.

Sutures are fibrous joints that connect the cranial bones. This allows for some flexibility during childbirth and early development.

The temporal bone is located near the ear. It houses the ear structures and plays a vital role in hearing and balance.

Part of the nasal cavity, forming the roof and part of the nasal septum. This bone also contains air cells.

This flat bone forms part of the nasal septum, which separates the nostrils. It also contributes to forming the nose.

Three bony projections in the nasal cavity that help increase surface area for air to pass through.

This bone forms the cheekbone and helps form the lateral wall of the eye socket.

The skull is made up of the cranium (8 bones) and the facial bones (14 bones).

The frontal bone forms the forehead and the upper part of the eye sockets. It contains sinuses that connect to the nasal cavities.

Sutures are flexible joints that connect the cranial bones, allowing some movement during growth.

The mandible is the lower jaw bone, the only moveable bone in the face.

The maxilla is the upper jaw bone, holding the upper teeth and containing the largest air sinus.

A skull positioning line running from the inferior orbital margin to the upper border of the external auditory meatus.

A skull positioning line running from the Nasion through the outer Canthus of the eye to the center of the external auditory meatus.

The line connects the centers of the orbits and is perpendicular to the median Sagittal plane.
