  • Number of cranial bones and examples
    There are 8 cranial bones including the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
  • Key features of the temporal bone
    Includes the zygomatic process, mandibular fossa, mastoid process, and external acoustic meatus.
  • Function of the foramen magnum
    A large opening in the occipital bone allowing passage of the spinal cord.
  • Sella turcica location and significance
    A saddle-shaped depression in the sphenoid bone that houses the pituitary gland.
  • Three important features of the ethmoid bone
    Crista galli, cribriform plate, and perpendicular plate.

    There are 14 facial bones including nasal, lacrimal, inferior nasal conchae, vomer, maxilla, palatine, mandible, zygomatic, and hyoid bones.
  • Alveolar process location
    The ridge on the maxilla and mandible that contains the tooth sockets.
  • Key processes of the mandible
    Mandibular condyle, coronoid process, and mental foramina.
  • Components of the sternum
    Manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.
  • Types of ribs and their classification
    Vertebrosternal ribs (1-7), vertebrocostal ribs (8-10), and vertebral ribs (11-12).
