Topics of this game:
  • The bones directly posterior to the frontal bone and is the most superior bone of the cranium.
  • Most posterior bone of the cranium. Bone at the back of the skull sitting at the base.
  • Lidocaine is often injected close to this hole to provide local anesthesia to the forehead
  • This structure contains the eyeball
  • This facial bone, together with the ethmoid, forms the nasal septum.
  • This facial bone is commonly known as the "upper jaw bone."
  • This facial bone is commonly known as the "lower jaw bone."
  • These structures help separate the nasal cavity into three compartments.
  • This opening allows passage of several nerves and is in the bottom of the orbit.
  • Orbital trauma can especially damage these nerves resulting in paralysis of eye movement. Top of the Orbit
  • This opening receives the nerve for vision, which if damaged, results in blindness.
  • This facial bone is commonly referred to as the "cheek bone."
  • This structure connects the temporal and zygomatic bone.
  • This indentation is part of the temporomandibular joint where the mandible rests on the maxilla
  • You can palpate (feel) this structure just posterior to your ear. the back of your Jaw Bone
  • What is the dividing line between the brain and spinal cord?
  • This smooth structure along with the atlas (C1) allows you to nod your head "yes."
  • C1 The first Vertebrae of the spine.
  • This butterfly-shaped bone touches all other cranial bones. It is right behind the teeth in the inferior view.
  • Name this bone that forms the anterior part of the roof of the mouth.
  • Hole that holds the carotid artery, and is anterior to the jugular foramen.
  • This large opening allows passage of several nerves and blood vessels posterior to the Carotid Canal.
  • Nerves and blood vessels pass through this opening - note the shape of an oval
  • This opening or fissure carries the nerve for hearing from the inner ear to the brain. Interior view
  • The name for this suture means "flat." Separates the Temporal and Parietal Bones
  • This hole ends at the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
  • This PART of the bone contains teeth.
  • The word for this structure means "chin hole." and is on the front of the Mandible on either side.
  • The word for this structure means "resembling a crown." and is right behind the teeth on the mandible.
  • This structure is used for gender identification of a skull.
  • Inside the Orbit on the side of the Nose posterior to the Lacrimal Bone
  • Inside the Orbit, on the side of the nose anterior to the Ethmoid bone
  • This line runs in a frontal plane separating the Frontal bone from the parietal bones
  • This line separates the skull into left and right sides.
  • This line resembles the Greek letter "lambda." and separates the Parietal Bones and the Occipital Bone
  • This edge of the Mandible connects with the teeth.
  • Blood vessels and nerves for the inferior teeth pass through this hole.
  • This U-shaped depression in the mandible allows blood vessels and nerves to pass.
  • This smooth structure is part of the temporomandibular joint at the back of the mandible
  • This hole helps to identify this as a cervical vertebra
  • This structure projects laterally.
  • This is a unique structure to help identify this particular vertebra as C2 or Axis. It is in the middle
  • This is the most dorsal part of the vertebra that you can feel when you feel your "spine"
  • This structure is sometimes removed when pressure needs to be relieved on the spinal cord.
  • This vertically-oriented hole contains the spinal cord
  • This is the location for the new technique called balloon kyphoplasty. Main part of the vertebrae
  • This horizontally oriented hole between two vertebrae contains the spinal nerve.
  • This structure is composed of fibrocartilage between two vertebrae
  • Only free floating bone in the body, above the sternum, usually broken when being choked
  • 5 Fused vertebrae
  • 3-5 Fused vertebrae at the base of the spine
