Anterior cranial fossa which accommodates the anterior lobe of brain.
Middle cranial fossa, much wider than the anterior cranial fossa contain the 2 temporal lobes of brain.
Posterior cranial fossa is much shallower and wider than the middle cranial fossa and it accommodates the occipital lobes of the brain.

∙ 11y agoThere are three cranial fossae, each housing different lobes of the brain.
* Anterior cranial fossa - houses the frontal lobes * Middle cranial fossa - houses the temporal lobes * Posterior cranial fossa - houses the occipital lobes, as well as the cerebellum and medulla

What are 4 bones containing paranasal sinuses?
The maxillae contain the maxillary sinuses, the ethmoid and sphenoid contain the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, respectively. ****Maxilla is a facial bone, the three cranial bones that contain sinuses are ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal.
What is the cranial floor?
If you were to do a horizontal section of skull and look down into the cavity you would see a base made up of three levels. This is where the cerebrum sits and is called the cranial floor.
Which cranial nerves carries only sensory information?
The question is asking what three cranial nerves are purely sensory in their function. Some relevant terms here are olfactory, optic, and auditory or vestibucochlear or acoustic nerves. The only three cranial nerves that are pure sensory in function are cranial nerve #1 : the olfactory nerve (smell), cranial nerve #2 : the optic nerve (sight), and cranial nerve #8 : the auditory/vestibucochlear/acoustic nerve (hearing).
How many bones are in your middle ear?

What type of joint is a vertebrae?
Membranous bone. To remember which bones are membranous vs. cartilaginous, think of it this way: cartilage has no time to grow in the place of what will become membranous bones, though it does for cartilaginous. This means that membranous bone develops before cartilaginous bone. I don't know how true this is ontogenetically, but it works for me.As membranous bone is the type of bone which develops first, it follows that it would be the type which provides the most important protection: cranial, vertebral, facial (excluding the mandible, I believe), and if I remember correctly, the ribs, sternum, and clavian bones are all membranous bones. Limb bones are all cartilaginous.n.A bone that forms directly in membranous connective tissue, as some cranial bones, instead of developing from cartilage.Read more: membrane-bone

What nerves are involved in diplopia?
The nerves involved in diplopia include three cranial nerves: the oculomotor nerve (third cranial nerve), the abducens nerve (sixth cranial nerve), and the trochlear nerve (fourth cranial nerve).
What cranial nerve covers meninges?
The Optic Nerve (one of the Cranial Nerves) is enclosed by three sheaths that are continuous with the three layers of cranial meninges (dura, arachnoid, and pia). The central artery and vein of the retina pass through these meningeal sheaths and are included in the distal part of the optic nerve.
