Sinuses, or air cavities.
Cranial bones join at sutures.
the 8 cranial bones
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.
Yes. The sinuses are air-filled areas in several bones in the face. They serve to make the skull lighter than if it were made of solid bone.
Cranial bones are bones of the head, tarsal bones are bones of the feet.
The cranial bones are fused together at immovable joints known as sutures. The skull contains 22 bones of which 21 are fused together at these joints. The only skull bone that is capable of movement is the jaw bone.
The cranial bones e.g. parietal, frontal, temporal and occipital. They are fused together by sutures which do not allow movement and are known as fixed or immovable joints
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.
There are 8 cranial bones in the human skull. They include the frontal bone, parietal bones, temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone.
The bones that contain the paranasal sinuses are the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones. They are easy to remember in relation to the sinuses because each sinus has the same name as the bone it is in.
Sphenoid bone. It joins all cranial bones together Source: medical student
