Document Summary
The skeletal system is made up of the axial and the appendicular. The axial skeleton is composed of the bones along the central axis of the body. It can be divided up into seconds: the skull, cranial bones, facial bones, the hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, vertebral column, thorax. The appendicular skeleton is composed of bones the appendages, as well as bones that hold the limbs of the trunk of the body. It forms the base of the skull: selected features, a large circular opening called the foramen magnum helps form the base of the skull. This helps form part of the orbit: the sella turcia is a bony enclose that houses the pituitary gland, the pterygoid processes are vertical projections that begin at the boundary between the greater and lesser wings. Axial skeleton: the superior part of the ethmoid bone exhibits a thin elevation called the crista galli.
