Name three bones in the skull?

Answer 1

Technically more of the bones of the skull are not fused. There are two major gaps on the top of the skull: the anterior and posterior fontanelle. The are the spaces where the frontal, parietal, and occipital bones are not fused together. On the side of the head there is a sphenoidal fontanelle that indicates the separation between the parietal and sphenoidal bone. There is also a mastoid fontanelle that indicates the separation between the parietal, sphenoid and occipital bones.

Answer 2

There are actually six, altogether: the frontal, the two parietal, the two temporal, and the occipital bones that make up the skull, or brain cavity.

~You are forgetting some, such as; the mandible, maxilla, nasal bone, zygomatic bone. Also there are some bones in the eye socket such as the ethmoid bone and the sphenoid bone. But if you just want the basic bones then yes all you need to know is the frontal, two parietals, two temporals and the occipital bone.

Answer 3

Skull bones are not joined by sutures, however the skull is made up of sutured joints.
The mandible

The mandible and zygomatic bones form the only non-suture joint in the skull (better known as your jaw!).

B:

THE MANDIBLE. Period!

The skull bones are joined by sutures except for mandible that connects to the cranium
The skull bones are joined by sutures except for mandible that connects to the cranium

eight large bones construct to make the cranium with the exception of two paired bones (the parietals and temporals) all are single bones.

the mandible and the zygomatic bones. (the jaw)

Answer 4

Babies are born with soft spots (i.e. - fontanels) in their skulls to allow for movement. Much like the Earth's tectonic plates, the bones are able to move side to side. This makes the baby's skull more malleable and facilitates the process of giving birth. Because of this shifting, most babies are born with elongated heads. As the baby grows, the bones fuse, therefore resulting in the sutures found present in adult skulls.

Answer 5

There are actually six, altogether: the frontal, the two parietal, the two temporal, and the occipital bones that make up the skull, or brain cavity.

Answer 6

The major bones of the skull are:

• frontal bone
• pariental bones (2)
• temporal bones (2)
• occipital bone

Answer 7

the bones in an infants skull are not fused together when its born because their skull actually cartilage

Answer 8

The three bones in the skull are the parietal bone, the temporal bone, and the frontal bone.
