Document Summary

Attachment for muscles: assists with movement. Sesamoid bone: knee cap (patella, embedded within the tendon of the muscle, prevents friction in the joints. Frontal bone: forms the forehead and part of the top of the head. Zygomatic bone: cheek bone: superior orbital fissure: opening in the back of the eye , passage for cranial nerves, optic canal: passage for cranial nerve 2. Lacrimal bone: in the eye cavity, forms a grove that houses the eye-nose tear duct. Zygomatic arch: zygomatic bone and the temporal bone together for this. Condylar process, coronoid process and ramus: bones of the mandible. Lambdoid suture: separates the occipital bone from the parietal bones. Bregma: joining point of the coronal and sagittal suture. Lambda: joining point of the lambdoid and sagittal suture. Vomer: separates the left and right nasal cavities (or choanae) Choana: posterior opening of the nasal cavity. Occipital condyle: joint between the skull and the vertebrae column.
