Femoral Neck

We just learned about the Femoral Head.

Another part of the femur bone is the Femoral Neck.

This is the part that connects the femoral head to the main part of the femur called the shaft.

Femoral Head

We just learned about the Electroencephalography and a lot of other things about sleep.

We've learned before about all of the bones in the human body, like the femur.
All of the bones have different parts, so let's learn about those!

One part of the femur is the Femoral Head.

This is the ball at the top of the femur that fits into the hip socket and helps the leg move around in the right way.

Hyoid bone

We just learned about the Ear Bones - Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup

The very last bone in the body we're going to learn about is the hyoid bone.

It's underneath your chin, right at the top of your neck.


(from: wikipedia - hyoid bone)

Ear bones - Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup

We just learned about the Inferior Nasal Concha.

Inside your ear are three little bones that your body uses to help make the sounds you hear.

The hammer, anvil and stirrup bones vibrate in your ear so you can hear.


(from: wikipedia - middle ear)

Sometimes people call these by their names in Latin language:
malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), stapes (stirrup)

Inferior nasal concha

Let's learn the last part of the facial skeleton!

We've already learned about the mandible, maxilla, nasal bone, vomer, palatine bones, zygomatic bones and lacrimal bones.

The last one is the inferior nasal concha.

It's another one of the small hidden bones behind your nose area.

(from: wikipedia - inferior nasal concha)

Lacrimal bones

Let's learn the other parts of the facial skeleton!

We've already learned about the mandible, maxilla, nasal bone, vomer, palatine bones and zygomatic bones.

Next up are the lacrimal bones, right behind your nose and on the inside part of your eyes.

(from: wikipedia - lacrimal bone)

Zygomatic bones

Let's learn the other parts of the facial skeleton!

We've already learned about the mandible, maxilla, nasal bone, vomer and palatine bones.

Next up is the zygomatic bones, also known as your cheekbones.

(from: wikipedia - zygomatic bone)

Palatine bones

Let's learn the other parts of the facial skeleton!

We've already learned about the mandible, maxilla, nasal bone and vomer.
Next up is the palatine bone. If you feel in the roof of your mouth toward the back, that's it! It is part of the roof of your mouth and is below your nose.

(from: wikipedia - palatine bone)

Vomer

Let's learn the other parts of the facial skeleton!

We've already learned about the mandible, maxilla and nasal bone.
Next up is the vomer. You can't really see where it is but it's a bone below your nose and above the roof of your mouth.

(from: wikipedia - vomer)

Nasal bone

Let's learn the other parts of the facial skeleton!

We've already learned about the mandible and the maxilla.

Next up is the nasal bone which is what we call the bridge of your nose.

(from: wikipedia - nasal bone)

Maxilla

Let's learn the other parts of the facial skeleton!

We've already learned about the mandible.

Next up is the maxilla, which is your upper jaw and behind your nose.

Mandible

We've now learned about all the parts of the neurocranium area of the cranium like the Temporal Bone.

Remember the other part of the cranium was the facial skeleton, also called the splanchocranium or viscerocranium.

There are several parts to that bone as well, such as the mandible.

The mandible is also known as your jawbone. It's the part of your skeleton that holds on to your teeth.

(from: wikipedia - mandible)

Temporal bone

We learned before that the frontal bone, parietal bones, occipital bone, ethmoid bone and sphenoid bone are part of the neurocranium.

The last part of the neurocranium is the temporal bone, located on the side of your head at your temple.

(from: wikipedia - temporal bone)

Sphenoid bone

We learned before that the frontal bone, parietal bones, occipital bone and ethmoid bone are part of the neurocranium.

Also part of the neurocranium is the Sphenoid Bone, located right behind your facial skeleton.

(from: wikipedia - sphenoid bone)

Ethmoid Bone

We learned before that the frontal bone, parietal bones and occipital bone are part of the neurocranium.

Also part of the neurocranium is the ethmoid bone, located right behind your nose and eyeballs.


(from: wikipedia - ethmoid bone)

Occipital Bone

We learned before that the Frontal Bone and Parietal Bones are part of the Neurocranium.
Also part of the neurocranium is the occipital bone, located in the back of your head.

(from: wikipedia - occipital bone)

Parietal bones

We learned before that the frontal bone is part of the neurocranium.

Also part of the neurocranium are two parietal bones, left and right.
They are the large bones in your skull that make up most of the top and sides for your head.

(from: wikipedia - parietal bone)

Frontal Bone

We learned before that the part of your cranium where your brain is at is called the neurocranium

There are eight bones that make up the neurocranium,
one of them is called the Frontal Bone

(from: wikipedia - frontal bone)

It starts above your forehead, and goes all the way down to the top of your nose and eyeballs.

Facial Skeleton

Remember we already learned that the head bone or human skull is called the cranium,
and that the part in the back of your head that holds your brain is called the neurocranium

The part in the front that has your face is called your facial skeleton, viscerocranium or splanchocranium.

(from: wikipedia - facial skeleton)

It's everything from your forehead to your nose to your cheeks and mouth.

Human skull

The whole human skull is called the cranium.

(from: wikipedia - human skull)

The part of the human skull that protects and holds your brain is called the neurocranium.
It is sometimes also called the braincase or brainpan.
