Question
Answer
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  
palatine process of the maxilla bone   fused processes that form the anterior part of the hard palate  
alveoli of the mandible 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
