he orbit Coronal suture attaches frontal and parietal bones Orbit eye hole Parietal bones side of skull Sagittal suture midline between parietal and frontal bones Occipital Bone back & bottom of skull Foramen magnum large opening on lower surface Occipital condyles rounded process on each side of foramen magnum Lambdoial suture between occipital and parietal bone Temporal Bones forms parts of the sides and base of skull (cranium) External auditory meatus an opening that leads to the ear Mastoid process a rounded projection below external auditory meatus Styloid process a long pointed projection below external auditory meatus Carotid canal an opening near the mastoid process Jugular foramen an opening between the temporal and occipital bones Internal acoustic meatus floor of cranial cavity in temporal bone Zygomatic process projects towards face (anteriorly) from the temporal bone Squamosal suture connects parietal and temporal bones Spenoid bone undersurface of skull (butterfly-looking bone) Sella turcica saddle-shaped depression in the sphenoid bone Optic canal posterior portion of orbit in sphenoid bone Greater wing wing-like structure that extend laterally towards each side of the skull Lesser wing smaller wing-like structure that extend laterally towards each side of the
skull (anterior to greator wings)

Foramen ovale opening in the greater wing Ethmoid bone between frontal bones on the base of the skull (in front the sphenoid bone) Cribriform plate plates that form part of the roof of the nasal cavity joins 2 masses
of the ethmoid bone

Crista galli triangular process projecting upward into the cranial cavity Perpendicular plate projects downward in midline from the cribriform plates

Maxillary bones forms upper jaw Infraorbital foramen a hole under each orbit Palatine bones L shaped bone located behind the maxilla Zygomatic bones below and to the side of eyes Temporal process extends posteriorly from zygomatic bone Zygomatic arch lateral extension to the side of the orbit from the zygomatic bone Lacrimal bones thin scale-like structure in the medial wall of each orbit Nasal bones (nose bone) long & thin form the bridge of the nose Vomer thin & flat bone in the middle of nasal cavity (separates both sides of nose) Mandible lower jaw Ramus projects upward from both sides of mandible Mandibular condyle the posterior (back) part of the ramous Mandibular foramen opening the medial side of the mandible near the center of
each ramous

Coronoid process anterior part of the ramous Mental foramen 2 holes on point of lower jaw Temporomandibular joint joint of the jaw
