Though considerable attention has been given to the formation of the chondrocranium and a great amount of data has been gathered on the development of this structure among many craniates, the anatomy of this structure in turtles often is neglected. We describe the mature chondrocranium of the ...

Cross-sectional anatomy of the mouse on high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT): in vivo imaging on a murine model
If you imagine the cross section as an onion, three major ‘layers’ can be observed, from exterior to interior: external soft tissues, neurocranium and brain. The fibrous epicranial aponeurosis extends anteroposteriorly over the superior part of the skull like a blanket. Two lateral masticatory...
…of the cranium, and the frontal bone forms the forehead; the cranial floor consists of the sphenoid and ethmoid bones. The facial area includes the zygomatic, or malar, bones (cheekbones), which join with the temporal and maxillary bones to form the zygomatic arch below the eye socket; th...

The mandible is one entire bone but the cranium is further divided into subcategories of bones, including the cranial vault or upper portion of the skull, the cranial base which is the inferior portion of the skull, the cranial cavity, also known as the interior of the skull, the bones ...
Another type of sensory ganglion is acranial nerve ganglion. This is analogous to the dorsal root ganglion, except that it is associated with acranial nerveinstead of aspinal nerve. The roots of cranial nerves are within the cranium, whereas the ganglia are outside the skull. For example, the...
