Bone Position

Frontal x1 Forms the forehead and upper eye sockets

Parietal x2 Forms the main part of the top and back of the head

Temporal x2 Found at the side of the head, around the ears

Sphenoid x1 Forms part of the eye orbit, connects the skull to the face

Ethmoid x1 Connects the skull to the face, houses the nerves of the eyes and separates the nasal passages

Well done. You have completed the theory of the bones of the

skull and shoulder girdle!

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Parietal

There are 2 parietal bones, one on each side of the skull. They form the main part of the top and back of the head.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Frontal

There is only one frontal bone and it forms the forehead and upper eye sockets.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Temporal

There are 2 temporal bones each found at the side of the head, around the ears.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Sphenoid

There is only 1 sphenoid bone and it forms part of the eye orbit and connects the skull to the face.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Ethmoid

There is one ethmoid bone and it connects the skull to the face, houses the nerves of the eyes and separates the nasal passages.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Occipital

There is only 1 occipital bone and it is located at the back of the skull.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Mandible

This is the lower jaw bone and is the only moveable bone in the face.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Maxilla

There are 2 maxilla bones and these form the upper jaw and soft palate of the mouth.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Zygomatic bones

There are 2 zygomatic bones and these form the cheek bones.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Nasal

These 2 bones form the bridge of the nose.

Clare Hargreaves-Norris

Lacrimal

There are 2 lacrimal bones that form the inner part of the eye orbit and part of the nasal passages. They house the tear ducts and these link to the nasal passages.
