Anatomy and Physiology Cranium Quiz

Maxillae (2)

These bones meet to form the upper jaw, they form the foundation of the face, and every other facial bone (except for the mandible) articulates with….This forms part of the floor of the orbits, part of the roof, and part of the floor and walls of the nose

Zygomatic Bones (2)

These bones shape the cheeks and form the outer edge of the orbit.

Mandible (1)

This is the largest and strongest bone of the face. It articulates with the temporal bone at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), making it the only facial bone that can move

temporomandibular joint (TMJ)

An area where the temporal bone and mandible join at a joint, making it the only facial bone that can move

Lacrimal Bones (2)

These paper-thin bones form part of the side wall of the orbit. 

Nasal Bones (2)

These rectangular bones form the bridge of the nose; the rest of the nose is shaped by cartilage.

Inferior Nasal Conchae (2)

The conchae bones (singular: concha) contribute to the nasal cavity.

Vomer (1)

This small bone forms the inferior half of the nasal septum. ( The superior half is formed by the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone). 

Palatine bones (2)

These bones form the posterior portion of the hard palate, part of the wall of the nasal cavity, and part of the floor of the orbit.

Parietal Bones (2)

Join together at the top of the head to form the top and sides of the cranial cavity

Occipital Bone (1)

Forms the rear of the skull

Temporal Bones (2)

form the sides of the cranium and part of the cranial floor'; also contain the structures of the inner and middle ear, including the: external auditory meatus, mastoid process, zygomatic arch, styloid process

External auditory meatus

an opening into the ear

mastoid process

a prominent lump behind the ear

zygomatic arch

cheekbone

styloid process

an attachment point for several neck muscles

sphenoid bone (1)

forms a key part of the cranial floor as well as the floor and side walls of the orbits

ethmoid bone (1)

contributes to the walls of the orbits, the roof and walls of the nasal cavity, and the nasal septum

frontal bone (1)

forms the forehead and the roof of the eye sockets
