| 11. | In the neurocranium these are the occipital bone, two temporal bones, two parietal bones, the ethmoid and frontal bones.
|
| 12. | The calvaria ( skullcap ) is made up of the superior portions of the frontal bone, occipital bone, and parietal bones.
|
| 13. | The inner surface of the occipital bone is marked by dividing lines as shallow ridges, that form four fossae or depressions.
|
| 14. | It arises from the anterior surface of the basilar part of the occipital bone immediately in front of the foramen magnum.
|
| 15. | The movement of nodding the head takes place predominantly through extension at the atlanto-occipital joint between the atlas and the occipital bone.
|
| 16. | To reduce the stretch of the temporalis muscle around the immovable process, machairodonts evolved a skull with a more vertical occipital bone.
|
| 17. | The ligamentum nuchae was found to be continuous with the posterior cervical spinal dura and the lateral portion of the occipital bone.
|
| 18. | The autopsy revealed several broken ribs and a star-shaped fracture in the occipital bone, consistent with a blow given using a blunt object.
|
| 19. | Had the occipital bone not been stretched towards the palate, and closer to perpendicular, the gape would theoretically be less, at roughly 113?
|
| 20. | In " Smilodon ", the gape is 128? and the angle between the ramus of the mandible and the occipital bone is 100?
