  2. Temporal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_bone

    A glomus jugulare tumor is a tumor of the part of the temporal bone in the skull that involves the middle and inner ear structures. This tumor can affect the ear, upper neck, base of the skull, and the surrounding blood vessels and nerves. A glomus jugulare tumor grows in the temporal bone of the skull, in an area called the jugular foramen.

  3. Zygomatic arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomatic_arch

    In anatomy, the zygomatic arch, or cheek bone, is a part of the skull formed by the zygomatic process of the temporal bone (a bone extending forward from the side of the skull, over the opening of the ear) and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone (the side of the cheekbone), the two being united by an oblique suture (the zygomaticotemporal suture); [1] the tendon of the temporal muscle ...

  4. Petrous part of the temporal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrous_part_of_the...

    The petrous part of the temporal bone is pyramid-shaped and is wedged in at the base of the skull between the sphenoid and occipital bones.Directed medially, forward, and a little upward, it presents a base, an apex, three surfaces, and three angles, and houses in its interior the components of the inner ear.

  5. Temporal fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_fossa

    Superior: Pair of temporal lines (superior and inferior temporal lines) that arch across the skull from the zygomatic process of the frontal bone to the supramastoid crest of the temporal bone [citation needed] Inferior: zygomatic arch laterally and by the infratemporal crest of the greater wing of the sphenoid medially. [citation needed]

  6. Pterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterion

    The pterion is the region where the frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid bones join. [1] It is located on the side of the skull, just behind the temple.It is also considered to be the weakest part of the skull, which makes it clinically significant, as if there is a fracture around the pterion it could be accompanied by an epidural hematoma.

  7. Asterion (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    the parietal bone. the occipital bone. the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. In the adult, it lies 4 cm behind and 12 mm above the center of the entrance to the ear canal. [citation needed] Its relation to other anatomical structures is fairly variable. [2]

  8. Temporal branches of the facial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_branches_of_the...

    The temporal branch of the facial nerve is typically found between the temporoparietal fascia (i.e., superficial temporal fascia) and temporal fascia (i.e., deep temporal fascia). This layer is also known as the innominate fascia. There are several methods using anatomic landmarks that may be used to find the temporal branch of the facial nerve.

  9. Parietal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_bone

    Crossing the middle of the bone in an arched direction are two curved lines, the superior and inferior temporal lines; the former gives attachment to the temporal fascia, and the latter indicates the upper limit of the muscular origin of the temporal muscle. Above these lines the bone is covered by a tough layer of fibrous tissue – the ...
