Cranial Base and Side Bones Revision Sheet

1. 📌 Essentials

  • Ethmoid: Unpaired, anterior skull base, contributes to nasal septum, orbit, and cranial cavity.
  • Sphenoid: Central wedge-shaped bone, articulates with all neurocranial bones, contains sphenoidal sinuses.
  • Temporal: Paired, lateral skull sides, contains structures for hearing, balance, and neurovascular passage.
  • Foramina: Significant openings (e.g., optic canal, rotundum, ovale, spinosum, carotid canal, stylomastoid foramen).
  • Crista Galli: Attaches falx cerebri; extends from ethmoid cribriform plate.
  • Sella Turcica: Houses pituitary gland, present in sphenoid body.
  • Petrous Part: Houses inner ear structures within temporal bones.
  • Jugum Sphenoidale: Articulates ethmoid with sphenoid.
  • Pterygoid Process: Muscular attachment points; form part of the nasal cavity lateral wall.
  • Temporal Fossa: Formed partly by temporal bone squama, site of temporalis muscle attachment.
  • Key Relationships: These bones form part of neurocranium, orbit, nasal cavity, middle ear, and contribute to skull base stability.

Describe the major foramina found on the greater wing of the sphenoid bone.

The greater wing contains the foramen rotundum (V2), foramen ovale (V3), and foramen spinosum (middle meningeal vessels and V3 branches).

Ethmoid — function?

Contributes to nasal septum, orbit, skull base.

What passes through the optic canal of the sphenoid bone?

The optic nerve (CN II) and the ophthalmic artery pass through the optic canal between the lesser wings of the sphenoid.

Sphenoid — role?

Connecting cranial vault to facial bones.

Name the three parts of the temporal bone and a key feature or function of each.

The parts are the squama (attaches temporalis muscle, contains TMJ fossa), mastoid portion (mastoid process, mastoid cells, muscle attachments), and petrous portion (houses inner ear structures, contains the internal acoustic meatus, carotid canal, and stylomastoid foramen).

Temporal — function?

Contains structures for hearing and balance.
