Document Summary

The axial skeleton: bones of the cranium ch 7 a overview of the skeleton. Typically 206 bones in the adult skeleton. Skeletal system is divided into 2 parts: axial skeleton. Bones of the upper & lower extremities. Temporal peg parietal temporal occipital sphenoid frontal ethmoid facial bones. Skull is composed of cranial & facial bones. Facial bones: 14 bones that form the face & have no brain contact zygomatic lacrimal. Inferior nasal conchae bones nasal maxillae palatine. Many bones have passageways for blood vessels & nerves different views of skull. It is common for some individuals to have small sutural bones. During adulthood sutures start to disappear as bones fuse bones of the cranium. 8 bones of the cranium protect the brain. Parietal bones & parts of frontal & occipital bones. Parts of ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital & temporal bones go frontal bone. Foramen lacrem (w/ temporal & occipital bones) Jugular foramen (w/ temporal bone) sphenoid bone.
