Vertebral foramen   Hole in the vertebrae  
Spinous process of the vertebrae   Bone you can feel in your back  
Transverse process of the vertebrae   Oriented 90 degrees from the spinous process  
Ethmoid bone   Forms part of the eye sockets and nasal cavity  
Crista galli   Cock's comb, part of the ethmoid bone  
Superior and middle concha   Hooks inside the nose that slow down airflow  
Vomer   Forms the back and lower part of the nasal septum  
Lamina of the vertebrae   Join to form the spinous process of the vertebrae and form part of the vertebral foramen  
Pedicle of the vertebrae   Form the transverse process and part of the vertebral foramen  
Superior articular processes of the vertebrae   Articulates with the vertebrae above it. Face toward the spinous process.
