The jugular tubercle (of occipital bone [1]) is a rounded prominence [2]: 568 /oval elevation [1] upon the superior (i.e. internal [1]) surface of the occipital condyle [2]: 817 at the junction of the basilar part and lateral part of the occipital bone, just medial to the jugular foramen [2]: 568 [1] on either side of the foramen magnum.
The under surface of the jugular process is rough, and gives attachment to the Rectus capitis lateralis muscle and the lateral atlanto-occipital ligament; from this surface an eminence, the paramastoid process, sometimes projects downward, and may be of sufficient length to reach, and articulate with, the transverse process of the atlas.
The jugular process is a quadrilateral or triangular bony plate projecting lateralward from the posterior half of the occipital condyle; it is a part of the lateral part of the occipital bone. [1] The jugular process is excavated in front by the jugular notch of occipital bone (which forms the posterior part of the jugular foramen).
The occipital bone overlies the occipital lobes of the cerebrum. At the base of the skull in the occipital bone, there is a large oval opening called the foramen magnum, which allows the passage of the spinal cord. Like the other cranial bones, it is classed as a flat bone. Due to its many attachments and features, the occipital bone is ...
The occipital condyles are undersurface protuberances of the occipital bone in vertebrates, which function in articulation with the superior facets of the atlas vertebra.. The condyles are oval or reniform (kidney-shaped) in shape, and their anterior extremities, directed forward and medialward, are closer together than their posterior, and encroach on the basilar portion of the bone; the ...
Intrajugular process of occipital bone (Processus intrajugularis ossis occipitalis) is a small, pointed process extending from the middle of the jugular notch of occipital bone, that subdivides the jugular notch of the occipital bone into a lateral and a medial part. [1]
