Bones of the skull

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

Occipital bone x1

Located at the back of the skull


Bones of the face

Bone Position

Mandible x1 The lower jaw bone – only moveable bone in the face

Maxilla x2 The upper jaw and soft palate of the mouth

Zygomatic bones x2

The cheek bones

Turbinate x1 The spongy bone of the nasal passages

Lacrimal x2 Forms the inner part of the eye orbit and part of the nasal passages. Houses the tear ducts and these link to the nasal passages.

Palatine x2 Behind the maxilla, forms part of the nasal cavities and the hard palate of the mouth

Vomer x1 Inside the nose, divides the nasal passages

Nasal x2 Forms the bridge of the nose


Bones of the shoulder girdle, neck and chest

Bone Position

Clavicle x2 The collar bone, from shoulder to the breast bone

Scapula x2 The shoulder blades, situated in the upper back

Humerus x2 The upper arm

Cervical vertebrae x7

The part of the spine that forms the neck

Sternum x1 The breast bone


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

skull and shoulder girdle!

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.


Frontal

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


Temporal

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


Sphenoid

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


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.


Occipital

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


Mandible

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


Maxilla

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


Zygomatic bones

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


Nasal

These 2 bones form the bridge of the nose.


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.
