Horizontal plate of palatine bone
The horizontal part of the palatine bone (horizontal plate) is quadrilateral and has two surfaces and four borders.
Perpendicular plate of palatine bone
The vertical part (perpendicular plate) of the palatine bone is thin of an oblong form and presents two surfaces and four borders.
Pyramidal process of palatine bone
The pyramidal process of the palatine bone projects backward and lateralward from the junction of the horizontal and vertical parts and is received into the angular interval between the lower […]
Orbital process of palatine bone
The orbital process of the palatine bone is placed on a higher level than the sphenoidal and is directed upward and lateralward from the front of the vertical part to […]
Sphenoidal process of palatine bone
The sphenoidal process of the palatine bone is a thin compressed plate much smaller than the orbital and directed upward and medialward. It presents three surfaces and two borders. The […]
Condyloid fossa
Behind either condyle of the lateral parts of occipital bone is a depression the condyloid fossa (or condylar fossa) which receives the posterior margin of the superior facet of the […]
Frontonasal duct
The frontonasal duct is a communication between the frontal air sinuses and their corresponding nasal cavity. The duct is lined by mucous membrane. The duct empties into the nasal cavity […]
Alveolar canals
The alveolar canals are apertures in the center of the infratemporal surface of the maxilla. The alveolar canals transmit the posterior superior alveolar vessels and nerves.
Mandibular fossa
The mandibular fossa is the depression in the temporal bone that articulates with the mandibular condyle. In the temporal bone the mandibular fossa is bounded in front by the articular […]
