Bones of the Neck
Hyoid bone: bone of the neck; attached to several muscles but to no other bone
forms the base of the tongue and larynx
the mobility is necessary for mastication, swalling, and speech
U-shaped bone; free floating
superior to the thyroid cartilage
Ethmoid
Cribiform plate- sensory nerves from nose ascend to olfactory bulbs of CN I
Numerous sinuses or air cells
Sphenoid bone "bat-shaped bone"
Temporal bones
Frontal bone
Occipital bone: posterior inferior portion of the cranium
Cervical vertebrae [7]
C-2 "axis": medical protuberance allows rotation around it
C-1 "atlas": holds up the cranium
Skull
Visceral structures: Related to the face
Cranium: Primarily involved in housing and protecting the brain
