The temporal bones contain the organs of hearing and balance in the form of the inner ear, including the cochlea and semicircular canals. They also articulate with the mandible through the temporomandibular joint. The frontal bone forms the forehead, the parietal bones form the sides and roof of the cranium, the occipital bone forms the back of the cranium, and the nasal bones form the bridge of the nose. None of these bones contain the organs of hearing and balance or articulate with the mandible.
