Accepted Answer

The sphenoid bone is located in the middle of the skull and looks like a butterfly. It plays a crucial role in holding all of the cranial bones together. The frontal bone forms the forehead and upper part of the eye sockets, the occipital bone forms the lower back part of the skull, and the temporal bone forms the sides and base of the skull. None of these bones have the characteristic butterfly shape or function as the primary anchor for the other cranial bones.

Question 8

The ____ bone is a single bone that forms the forehead.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;parietal&#10;B) &#8203;occipital&#10;C) &#8203;sphenoid&#10;D) &#8203;frontal

Accepted Answer

The temporal bone is the bone that encloses the ear and bears a fossa for articulation with the lower jaw (mandible). The parietal bone forms the roof and sides of the cranium, the frontal bone forms the forehead, and the occipital bone forms the back of the skull. None of these bones have the specific feature of enclosing the ear and bearing a fossa for articulation with the mandible.
