Bones of the Skull: Posterior Aspect

Parietal Bone: A large bone composed of two segments connected by the sagittal suture, which runs along the midline of the body.
Temporal Bone: Visible from the posterior aspect, specifically highlighting the mastoid process. This protuberance serves as an attachment point for several muscles and tends to be larger in men.

Occipital Bone: The primary bone of the posterior skull, connected to the parietal bone via the lambdoid suture.
Neutral Lines: Includes the superior neutral line and inferior neutral line, which act as sites for muscle attachments.
Central Landmarks: Features the external occipital protuberance and the external occipital crest, both of which serve as attachment points for the neutral ligament and travel down toward the foramen magnum.

Sutural Bone (Wormian bone): Anomalous bones that can appear anywhere along suture lines due to varying growth patterns; they are illustrated here above the lambdoid suture.
Occipitomastoid Suture: The bond connecting the occipital bone and the temporal bone on both sides of the skull.
Occipital Condyles: Structures on the occipital bone that serve as interaction points for the vertebrae.
