Question

List the eight cranial bones and tell where each is found

a) Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, Occipital, Sphenoid, Ethmoid, Nasal, Zygomatic
b) Cranial bones do not have specific names
c) Mandible, Maxilla, Vomer, Palatine, Lacrimal, Inferior Nasal Conchae, Hyoid, Zygomatic
d) Clavicle, Scapula, Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Femur, Tibia, Fibula

Answer 1

The eight cranial bones are the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid, nasal, and zygomatic bones. They are found in specific locations in the skull. The question contains incorrect information about the cranial bones and includes bones that are not part of the cranial structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The eight cranial bones and their locations are:

1. Frontal bone: found in the forehead area
2. Parietal bones: found on the sides and upper part of the skull
3. Temporal bones: found on the sides and base of the skull
4. Occipital bone: found at the back and base of the skull
5. Sphenoid bone: found at the base of the skull, behind the eye sockets
6. Ethmoid bone: found between the eyes, forming part of the nasal cavity
7. Nasal bone: found in the bridge of the nose
8. Zygomatic bone: found in the cheek area

The cranial bones have specific names, contrary to the given option. The mandible, maxilla, vomer, palatine, lacrimal, inferior nasal conchae, hyoid, and zygomatic bones mentioned are part of the facial bones, not the cranial bones. The given option d) lists bones that are not part of the skull.
