  part:  #stephanion  the craniometric point on the coronal suture above the acoustic meatus
  part:  #ethmoid_bone__ethmoidbone__ethmoid  one of the eight bones of the cranium; a small bone filled with air spaces that forms part of the eye sockets and the nasal cavity
  part:  #temporal_bone__os_temporale  a thick bone forming the side of the human cranium and encasing the inner ear
     part:  #glenoid_fossa__glenoidfossa__mandibular_fossa  a deep concavity in the temporal bone at the root of the zygomatic arch that receives the condyle of the mandible
     part:  #tympanic_bone  the bone enclosing the middle ear
     part:  #mastoid_process__mastoidproces__mastoid__mastoidal  process of the temporal bone behind the ear at the base of the skull
        part:  #mastoidale  the craniometric point at the lowest point of the mastoid process
     part:  #styloid_process  extends from the base of the temporal bone
  part:  #calvaria__skullcap  the dome of the skull
  part:  #frontal_bone__frontalbone__os_frontale__forehead  the large cranial bone forming the front part of the cranium: the forehead and the upper part of the orbits
     part:  #glabella__mesophyron  a smooth prominence of the frontal bone between and above the eyebrows; the most forward projecting point of the forehead in the midline at the level of the supraorbital ridges
     part:  #metopion  the craniometric point midway between the frontal eminences of the skull
     part:  #ophryon  the craniometric point in the midline of the forehead immediately above the orbits
     part:  #frontal_eminence__frontaleminence  either prominence of the frontal bone above each orbit
  part:  #parietal_bone  either of two skull bones between the frontal and occipital bones and forming the top and sides of the cranium
     part:  #entomion  the craniometric point at the tip of the mastoid angle of the parietal bone
     part:  #sphenion  the anterior tip of the parietal bone
  part:  #occipital_bone__occipitalbone  a saucer-shaped membrane bone that forms the back of the skull
     part:  #inion  the craniometric point that is the most prominent point at the back of the head (at the occipital protuberance)
     part:  #occipital_protuberance__occipitalprotuberance  prominence on the outer surface of the occipital bone
  part:  #coronal_suture__coronalsuture__sutura_coronalis  the suture between the parietal and frontal bones of the skull
  part:  #frontal_suture__frontalsuture__sutura_frontalis  the suture between two halves of the frontal bone (usually obliterated by the age of 6)
  part:  #lamboid_suture__lamboidsuture__sutura_lamboidea  the suture between the occipital and parietal bones
  part:  #occipitomastoid_suture__occipitomastoidsuture  the suture between the occipital and the temporal bones; a continuation of the lamboid suture
  part:  #parietomastoid_suture  the suture between the parietal and the temporal bones
  part:  #sagittal_suture__interparietal_suture__interparietalsuture__sutura_sagittalis  the suture uniting the two parietal bones
  part:  #fontanelle__fontanel__soft_spot  any membranous gap between the bones of the cranium in an infant or fetus
  part:  #foramen_magnum__foramenmagnum  the large opening at the base of the cranium through which the spinal cord passes
