Understanding the Cranial Bones in the Skull
Explore the anatomy of the cranium, including the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. Learn about their functions, articulations, and key features in protecting the brain.

Cranial Bones • Skull = __________ and ________ bones • Cranium (8 bones) • Area that surrounds and protects the brain. • ____________ (Skull Cap) • Floor
Calvarium • __________ • Parietal (Right and Left) • __________
Frontal Bone • ____________ (Vertical) Portion • Forehead • ___________ (Horizontal) Portion • Superior Orbits
Frontal BoneSquamous • ___________ • Area between eyebrows • _____________ Groove • Depression above eyebrows • ______________margin • Superior rim of orbit • _____________ ridge (Arch) • Ridge beneath eyebrow
Frontal BoneOrbital • _____________plate • Superior portion of each orbit • _______________ Notch • Separates orbital plate • Articulates with 4 cranial bones • Right and left parietals, sphenoid, _________
Parietal Bones • Forms the __________calvarium. • Articulates with 5 cranial bones • Frontal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, parietal
Occipital Bone • ___________portion of the calvarium. • Squamous Portion • _______________Protuberance (Inion) • Prominent bump on the back of head.
Occipital • ____________Magnum • Hole for spinal cord • _______________ condyles • Articulating surface on each side of foramen magnum. • Articulates with 6 bones • 2 parietals, 2 temporals, sphenoid, ________
Cranial Floor • Temporal (Right and Left) • __________ • Ethmoid
Temporal Bone • Lateral aspect of skull. • 3 Portions • ___________ • ___________ • ___________
