Occipital bone
The bone is called the occipital bone which forms most of the skulls posterior wall and base. It articulates with anteriorly with the paried parietal and temporal bones via the lambdoid and occipitomastoid stures. It also joins the sphenoid bone in the cranial floor.
the skull dumb dumb
Improved answer: for starters, if you're going to insult the person inquiring about the key bone in the skull, use proper English. The skull, dumb dumb. Be logical.
Although, the answer the original question is the sphenoid bone.
the human skull is divided into two, the CRANIAL BONES AND THE FACIAL BONES 8 CRANIAL BONES frontal occipital ethmoid sphenoid 2 parietal 2 temporal 14 FACIAL BONES paired : maxillae zygomatics palatines nasal lacrimal inferior nasal conchae unpaired: vomer mandible
In humans, the adult skull is normally made up of 22 bones
The scientific name for "skull" is Cranium.
The skull is made of a number of fused bones (in adult humans). There are 21 fused bones and one moveable called the mandible. The hyoid is also considered part of the skull.
Ethmoid
The Sella turcica is found on the surface of the sphenoid bone, at the base of the skull. It's where we find the pituitary gland.
Occipital Bone
it is the essential bone of the base of the skull
A parasphenoid is the bone immediately beneath the sphenoid at the base of the skull.
The foramen magnum is found in the inferior (lower/bottom) aspect of the occipital bone.occipital bone
The skull is a bone. The skull protects the brain.
There are two joints at the base of the skull: - a condyloid joint between the occipital bone of the skull and the first (C1) vertebra, the atlas. - a pivot joint located between the C1 and C2 cervical vertebrae (atlas and axis).
sphenoid
which bone of the skull canmove
The sphenoid bone is one of the skull bones and is located relatively deep within the skull. It is only very slightly visible from an exterior view of the skull. Looking side on to a skull it is right between the temporal bone and the zygomatic bone, in other words it is the small section beneath the Pterion. It is also visible when looking into the orbit (with the eye removed) as the bone with the superior orbital fissure through it.
There are many bones that make up the skull. the occupital bone is the back of your skull. the frontal bone is also known as the forehead. and the pariatal bones are located on the left and right sides of the skull. see picture for more info. becomehealthynow.com/images/organs/bones/skull_bones_side_view.jpg
