hypoglossal canal
openings anterior and lateral to the foramen magnum are visible on the inferior view of the occipital bone
naming of ligaments starts with origin
ex; spheno-mandibular-ligament

posterior to the external auditory canal, is a large roughened projection, composed of air spaces that communicate with the middle ear cavity
PERIFORM APPETURE
INFERIOR TO ORBITS IS A BONY OPENING
temporal lines;superior temporal line, inferior temporal line
two separate parallel ridges on the lateral surface of the skull that cross both the frontal and parietal bones;
styloid process
inferior and medial to the external auditory canal is a long pointed bony projection that serves as an attachment for muscle and ligament attachment
temporal bone
immediately posterior to sphenoid and inferior to parietal; also a paired bone
what does the optic canal contain
