What is the bone that articulates with the parietal and temporal bones and forms the posterior inferior part of the cranium?
occipital bone
Temporal bones articulates with what?
The temporal bones articulate with the parietal bones superiorly, the sphenoid bone anteriorly, the occipital bone posteriorly, and the zygomatic bones laterally.
What are the sutures of the skull and what bones do they attach?
Metopic, or frontal, suture - Separates the frontal bone into two halves. Sagittal suture - Separates the two parietal bones. Coronal suture - Separates the frontal bone from the parietal bone Lambdoid suture - Separates the posterior edge of the of the parietal bone form the occipital bone. Squamosal suture - Superior border of the squamous part of the temporal bone. It articulates with the greater wing of the sphenoid; superiorly, it articulates with the parietal bone and posteriorly and inferiorly it articulates with the occipital bone The parietal bones touch all four major sutures (coronal, sagittal, squamous and lambdoid).
What region is superior to the lateral sulcus?
The lateral sulcus separates the temporal lobe inferior and the parietal lobe superior.
Which bones are connected by the suture suture?
The parietal bone and occipital bone are connected by the lambdoid suturethe occipital, parietal and temporal bonesWikipedia says: The lambdoid suture (or lambdoidal suture) is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint on the posterior aspect of the skull that connects the parietal and temporal bones with the occipital bone.The Lambdiod suture connects the occipital bone to the parietal bones and the mastoid part of the temporal bone.The lambdoid suture joins the occipital bone to the parietal bones.occipital and parietal bonesLambdoid suture(s): separates the parietal bones and the occipital bone; it arches across the back of the skull ending bilateral where the parietal and occipital bones meets the temporal bone.occipital and parietal bone
Where is hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is inferior to the thalamus. It is posterior(in back) of the optic chiasm beside the temporal lobes and optic tracts.
What is the cranium connected to which bones?
Parietal bones, temporal bones, zygomatic bones, palatine bones, inferior nasal concha.
Name four main lobes of the cerebrum?
The four lobes of the human brain are: 1) The Frontal Lobe 2) The Parietal Lobe 3) The Temporal Lobe 4) The Occipital Lobe
Four main area of the brain?
frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and the temporal lobe
What are the four lobes of the human brain?
1.Parietal 2. Occipital 3. Frontal 4. Temporal
What area is posterior to the central sulcus?
Postcentral gyrus, or the parietal lobe [Edit: The postcentral gyrus is posterior to the central sulcus, not anterior. The primary motor cortex is located directly anterior to the central sulcus.]
What are the four regions of the cerebral cortex?
Frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital are the four regions of the cerebral cortex.
