| External Auditory meatus of the temporal bone |
tube like opening for the ear canal |
| mastoid process of the temporal bone |
rounded projection posterior to external auditory meatus--also an attachment for muscles |
| styloid process of the temporal bone |
long, thin projection on inferior skull surface--attachment for muscles and ligaments of tongue and neck |
| zygomatic process of the temporal bone |
projection that articulates with the zygomatic bone |
| madibular fossa of the temporal bone |
depression in mandible for articulation w/ condylar process |
| Foramen magnum of the occipital bone |
opening where the spinal cord connects to the lower braing |
| occipital condyles of the occipital bone |
rounded processes that articulate with the atlas |
| Cribriform plates of the ethmoid bone |
one on eiether sid of the crista galli -- forms the roof of the nasal cavity |
| crista galli of the ethmoid bone |
projection for attachment of membranes covering the brain |
| olfactory foramina of the ethmoid bone |
tiny holes in the cribiform plates for cranial nerve 1 |
| perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone |
forms superior part of nasal septum |
| middle nasal conchae and superior nasal conchae of the ethmoid bone |
scroll-like projections on each lateral wall of the nasal cavity |
| sella turcica of the sphenoid bone |
cony projection that surrounds and protects the pituitary gland |
| optica foramina of the sphenoid bone |
openings for cranial nerve 2 |
| alveoli of the maxilla bone |

tooth sockets |
| body of the mandible bone |
curved anterior portion of mandible |
| rami (ramus) of the mandible bone |
posterior branches one on either side of the body of the mandible |
| condylar processes of the mandible bone |
rounded processes on rami that articulate with temporal bone at teh mandibular fossa to form the TMJ |
| temporal process of the zygomatic bone |
projects posteriorly-the temporal process of the zygomatic bone and the zygomatic process of the temporal bone together make the zygomatic arch |
