Identify the bones: 1. Which articulation joins the frontal bone with the parietal bone? 2. If you palpate the roughened projection behind your ear, you can feel this bone landmark. 3. Which facial bone articulates with your upper teeth? 4. Which facial bone articulates with your lower teeth? 5. Which bone forms the "floor of the brain" and articulates with multiple bones of the skull, forming a supportive framework? 6. If you palpate the back of your vertebrae on your neck, you are feeling which bone landmark?

The Skull. First, match the bone names in column B with the descriptions in column A (the items in column B may be used more than once). Then, circle the bones in column B that are cranial bones. Column A 1. forms the anterior cranium 2. cheekbone 3. bridge of nose 4. posterior bones of the hard palate 5. much of the lateral and superior cranium 6. single, irregular, bat-shaped bone forming part of the cranial base 7. tiny bones bearing tear ducts 8. anterior part of hard palate 9. superior and middle nasal conchae form from its projections 10. site of mastoid process 11. has condyles that articulate with the atlas 12. small U-shaped bone in neck, where many tongue muscles attach 13. organ of hearing found here 14. two bones that form the nasal septum 15. forms the most inferior turbinate Column B a. ethmoid b. frontal c. hyoid d. inferior nasal conchae e. lacrimal f. mandible g. maxilla h. nasal i. occipital j. palatine k. parietal l. sphenoid m. temporal n. vomer o. zygomatic
