The cribiform plate and crista galli are part of the Ethmoid Bone. The Cribiform Plate forms the superior surface of the Ethmoid Bone which helps form the roof of the nasal cavities and floor of the anterior cranial fossa. The Crista Galli projects superiorly from the Ethmoid Bone between the Cribiform Plates. The outermost covering of the brain is attached to the Crista Galli and keeps the brain in place.
The crista galli is found on the skull in the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone.

The ethmoid bone
The crista galli is a bony ridge extending up from the ethmoid bone in the skull. It helps to support the olfactory bulb, which is responsible for the sense of smell.

The crista galli is a bony ridge located within the skull, specifically in the ethmoid bone. It serves as an attachment point for the falx cerebri, a membrane that helps separate the two hemispheres of the brain.
The rooster's comb, or crista galli, is primarily composed of bone and is part of the skull. Specifically, it is an extension of the frontal bone and serves as a prominent feature on the top of the rooster's head. The comb plays a role in thermoregulation and may also be involved in social signaling and mating displays.
The ethmoid bone contains the cribriform plate, which is a delicate, sieve-like structure located in the roof of the nasal cavity. It forms a part of the ethmoid bone and allows for the passage of olfactory nerves from the nasal cavity to the brain.
