The internal surface of the squamous part is concave and presents in the upper part of the middle line a vertical groove, the sagittal sulcus, the edges of which unite below to form a ridge, the frontal crest; the sulcus lodges the superior sagittal sinus, while its margins and the crest afford attachment to the falx cerebri.
In the human skull, the frontal bone or sincipital bone is a unpaired bone which consists of two portions. [1] These are the vertically oriented squamous part, and the horizontally oriented orbital part, making up the bony part of the forehead, part of the bony orbital cavity holding the eye, and part of the bony part of the nose respectively.
The temporal bone consists of four parts—the squamous, mastoid, petrous and tympanic parts. [1] [2] The squamous part is the largest and most superiorly positioned relative to the rest of the bone. The zygomatic process is a long, arched process projecting from the lower region of the squamous part and it articulates with the zygomatic bone ...
The bone of the forehead is the squamous part of the frontal bone. [4] [5] The overlying muscles are the occipitofrontalis, procerus, and corrugator supercilii muscles, all of which are controlled by the temporal branch of the facial nerve. [2]
The zygomatic process of the temporal bone is a long, arched process projecting from the lower part of the squamous portion of the temporal bone. It articulates with the zygomatic bone . This process is at first directed lateralward, its two surfaces looking upward and downward; it then appears as if twisted inward upon itself, and runs forward ...
It is the junction between four bones: the parietal bone. the squamous part of temporal bone. the greater wing of sphenoid bone. the frontal bone. These bones are typically joined by five cranial sutures: the sphenoparietal suture joins the sphenoid and parietal bones. the coronal suture joins the frontal bone to the sphenoid and parietal bones.
the membranous part, consisting of flat bones, which surround the brain; and; the cartilaginous part, or chondrocranium, which forms bones of the base of the skull. [3] In humans, the neurocranium is usually considered to include the following eight bones: 1 ethmoid bone; 1 frontal bone [5] 1 occipital bone; 2 parietal bones; 1 sphenoid bone; 2 ...
The sagittal sulcus is a midline groove that runs across the internal surfaces of part of the squamous part of the frontal bone, the parietal bones, [1] and part of [citation needed] the occipital bones. The sagittal sulcus accommodates the superior sagittal sinus. The falx cerebri attaches to the edge of the sagittal sulcus [1] on either side.
