  2. Squamous part of occipital bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamous_part_of_occipital...

    From the external occipital protuberance, an often faintly marked ridge or crest, the median nuchal line, descends to the foramen magnum and affords attachment to the nuchal ligament. Running from the middle of this line across either half of the nuchal plane is the inferior nuchal line.

  3. Nuchal lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuchal_lines

    The nuchal lines are four curved lines on the external surface of the occipital bone: The upper, often faintly marked, is named the highest nuchal line, but is sometimes referred to as the Mempin line or linea suprema, and it attaches to the epicranial aponeurosis. Below the highest nuchal line is the superior nuchal line.

  4. Occipital bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_bone

    The occipital plane is said to be ossified from two centers and the basilar portion from one. About the fourth year the squamous part and the two lateral parts unite, and by about the sixth year the bone consists of a single piece. Between the 18th and 25th years the occipital and sphenoid bone become united, forming a single bone.

  5. External occipital protuberance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_occipital...

    The nuchal ligament and trapezius muscle attach to it. The inion (ἰνίον, iníon, Greek for the occipital bone) is used as a landmark in the 10-20 system in electroencephalography (EEG) recording. Extending laterally from it on either side is the superior nuchal line, and above it is the faintly marked highest nuchal line.

  6. External occipital crest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_occipital_crest

    The external occipital crest is part of the external surface of the squamous part of the occipital bone. It is a ridge along the midline, beginning at the external occipital protuberance and descending to the foramen magnum, that gives attachment to the nuchal ligament. [1] It is also called the median nuchal line. [2]

  7. Epicranial aponeurosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicranial_aponeurosis

    In humans, the epicranial aponeurosis originates from the external occipital protuberance and highest nuchal lines of the occipital bone. [1] It merges with the occipitofrontalis muscle. In front, it forms a short and narrow prolongation between its union with the frontalis muscle (the frontal part of the occipitofrontalis muscle).

  8. Ndutu cranium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ndutu_cranium

    The mastoid process is small, and its posterior part is flat and lies in the nuchal plane, particularly similar to Olduvai hominids 9 and 12. [1] The frontal bone has an almost vertical forehead, similar to Homo erectus, but unlike the Ngangdong or the Broken Hill crania. [1] The walls of the frontal, occipital, parietals, and temporals, were ...

  9. Nuchal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuchal_ligament

    The nuchal ligament extends from the external occipital protuberance on the skull and median nuchal line to the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra in the lower part of the neck. [1] From the anterior border of the nuchal ligament, a fibrous lamina is given off.
