Bones of the Skull - Parietals   Paired / Articulate w frontal bone, make up walls of skull  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Temporals   Paired / on sides of head, houses of ear holes, provides articulation for mandible  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Occipital   Single / midline bone at back of skull, houses large hole at skull base for passing of spinal cord  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Maxilla   Paired / bone that comprise much of face between orbits and mouth, most of roof of mout  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Zygomatics   Paired / cheekbones  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Nasals   Paired / small bones; superior to nasal opening between orbits  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Ethmoid   Single / within skull, see from frontal - back of orbit, lateral - posterior to lacrimals, and superior - top  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Sphenoid   Single / large, butterfly-shaped, mostly within skill  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Lacrimals   Paired / small delicate bones inside rim of orbits, houses canals for tear ducts, lacrimal ducts  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Mandible   Single / lower jaw  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Inferior Nasal Conchae   Paired / small curved bones on each side within nasal opening  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Palatine   Paired / small, lie just posterior to bony palate of maxillae  
🗑
Bones of the Skull - Vomer   Single / small, down midline of inferior nasal aperture  
🗑
Temporal Features - External Auditory Meatus   Bony ear canal  
🗑
Temporal Features - Mastoid Process   Insertion area of large muscle on side of neck  
🗑
Temporal Features - Styloid Process   slender projection anteromedial to mastoid process, attachment site for several muscles associated with tounge and larnyx  
🗑
Temporal Features - Mandibular Fossa   articulation with mandibular condyles at jaw joint  
🗑
Temporal Features - Zygomatic Arch   posterior portion  
🗑
Occipital Features - Occipital Condyles   articulation for the superior-most cervical vertebrae, atlas  
🗑
Occipital Features - Foramen Magnum   opening for spinal cord as it exits cranium  
🗑
Zygomatic Feature - Zygomatic Arch   anterior position  
🗑
Ethmoid Features - Crista Galli   ridge of bone projecting from the midline of the cribriform plate  
🗑
Ethmoid Features - Cribriform Plate   horizontal portion with numerous perforations for olfactory nerves, olfactory bulbs rest on either side of crista galli  
🗑
Sphenoid Feature - Sella Turcica   saddle-shaped structure, pituitary gland "sits" in a depression in the middle, the hypophyseal fossa  
🗑
Mandible Features - Mental Foramen   opening for nerve and vessels  
🗑
Mandible Features - Mandibular Condyle   rounded surfaces for articulation with mandibular fossae of temporal bone to form jaw joint  
🗑
Mandible Features - Body   main, horizontal portion  
🗑
Mandible Features - Ramus   ascending portion  
🗑
Other Skull Features - Orbits   eye sockets  
🗑

🗑
Other Skull Features - Ossicles   malleus, incus, and stapes  
🗑
Teeth Bones   molars, premolars, canine, incisors  
🗑
Cervical Vertebrae Bones - Atlas   no body, large superior articulating facets, barely discernable spinous process  
🗑
Cervical Vertebrae Bones - Axis   dens odontoid process, projects superiorly, body present, but small  
🗑
Cervical Vertabrae   larger body than atlas or axis, more prominent spinous process- often forked  
🗑
Thoracic Vertebrae Features - Giraffe   long skinny spinous process except for inferior ones, spinous process projects down, transverse processes thick, project more posteriorly, superior & inferior articular surfaces more mediolaterally, rib facets on vertebral body and transverse processes  
🗑

🗑
Thorax   sternum and rib  
🗑
Sternum   manubrium, body, xiphoid process  
🗑
Rib   head - articulates w rib facet on tranverse process of thoracic vertebra tubercle - process near head for articulation w rib facet on body of thoracic vertebra inferior border - sharpened, useful for siding ribs  
🗑
Maxilla Features - Infraorbital Foramina   openings for inferior to eye orbits, for nerves and vessels  
🗑
Maxilla Features - Palatine Process   makes up much of hard palate  
🗑
