Skull
&
vertebrae
Skull – some basic facts

Can be divided into 2 parts:


a. Neurocranium(cranial vault): consist of 8 bones- 4
singular bones (frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital) &
2 sets of bilateral pairs (temporal and parietal)
b. Viscerocranium (facial skeleton- develops from
mesenchyme of embryonic pharyngeal arches): consist
of 15 irregular bones (3 singular bones – mandible,
ethmoid & vomer) and 6 pairs of bilateral bones
(maxilla, inferior nasal concha; and zygomatic,
palatine, nasal and lacrimal bones)
(Bones of the ear (2 pairs) – maleus, incus, stapes)
