Q

how is the skull put together

A

by sutures

9
Q

what are sutures

A

interlocking fibrous joints

10
Q

what is the exception to the sutures and why

A

the mandible because it is connected by freely moving joints

styloid process

A

needle like projection that serves as attachment point for ligaments and neck muscles

26
Q

describe styloid process

A

look like needle going into neck. Pointy thing coming out the external acoustic meatus
