QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
Skull is composed of __ bones - ANS 22
general term for any prominence = - ANS process
articulation = - ANS area of the skeleton where the bones are joined to each other
what are the 2 categories of skull bones? - ANS neurocranium, and viscerocranium
how many neurocranium bones ? - ANS 8
how many viscerocranium bones? - ANS 14
foramen ovale - large anterior oval opening of the sphenoid bone for the fifth cranial nerve AKA
_______ ? - ANS trigeminal nerve
foramen spinosum = - ANS smaller and more posterior opening which carries the middle
meningeal artery into the cranial cavity
foramen lacerum = - ANS large irregularly shaped which is filled with cartilage

, coronal suture = - ANS articulation between frontal and parietal bones
lambdoidal suture = - ANS articulation between parietal and occipital bones
squamosal suture = - ANS articulation between temporal and parietal bones
supraorbital ridges = - ANS curved bony elevations superior to orbits and right below the
eyebrows
supraorbital notch = - ANS located on the medial portion of the ridge and is where the
supraorbital artery and nerve travel from the orbit to the forehead
glabella = - ANS smooth elevated area between the eyebrows
frontal eminence = - ANS prominence of the forehead typically more pronounced in childen
and adult females
zygomatic process of the frontal bone = - ANS projection lateral to the orbital surface
lacrimal fossa = - ANS smooth, more deep concave depression on the lacrimal bone, forms
the medial wall of the orbital cavity
Parietal bones = - ANS paired cranial bones
parietal bones articulate with each other at the - ANS sagittal suture
temporal bones = - ANS serves as an attachment for the strongest chewing muscles
3 portions of temporal bones = - ANS squamous, tympanic, petrous
