Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following is NOT a facial or skull bone?

Answer: scaphoid

Your scaphoid is one of your 8 carpal (wrist) bones. The zygoma is your cheek bone, the maxilla is the bone that forms part of the lateral walls and most of the floor of the nasal cavity, and sphenoid is irregularly wedge-shaped bone located just anterior of the temporal bone.
2. There are 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones.

Answer: True

Here we go: 1 frontal, 1 ethmoid, 2 parietal, 1 sphenoid, 2 temporal, and 1 occipital include the cranial bones. 2 nasal, 2 lacrimal, 2 maxillae, 2 zygomas, 2 palatine, 2 inferior nasal conchae, 1 vomer, and 1 mandible include the facial bones.
3. Which is NOT a part of the ethmoid bone?

Answer: bregma

The bregma is located at the point where the sagittal and coronal sutures meet.
4. When you move your finger starting at the base of your nose (between your eyes) up your forehead, that slight curve is the...

Answer: glabella

The glabella is the smooth elevation located beteen the superciliary arches and is a part of the frontal bone.
5. If you run your finger from the top of your head down the back of it towards your neck, at a certain point you will notice that it caves in. What is that protuberance called?

Answer: inion

The inion (external occipital protuberance)is located on the external surface of the squama. It corresponds in position with the internal occipital protuberance.
6. What does TMJ stand for?

Answer: Temporo-mandibular joint

Your TMJ is where your jaw bone connects to your temporal bone. Some people, like myself, can sometimes hear and feel their TMJ cracking near the base of the ear if once injured.
7. The palatine bone is the closest to your...

Answer: maxilla

The palatine bone is located between the maxillae and pterygoid process of the sphenoid and forms the posterior 1/4 of roof of mouth.
8. The orbital cavity contains the...

Answer: eyes

There are 7 bones that join together to hold the orbit: frontal, ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, zygoma, greater wing of the sphenoid, and palatine.
9. Newborns are born with fully ossified cranial bones.

Answer: False

Newborn's cranial bones are thin and incompletely developed. They have fontanels which are areas of incomplete ossification. Such fontanels are called bregma, and lamda.
10. Which process IS a part of the facial or cranial bones?

Answer: mastoid process

The mastoid process is a part of the temporal bone. You can feel that bump behind your ear. The olecranon process is a part of your elbow joint. The radial styloid process is located on the distal radius. The coracoid process is located on the scapula medial to the glenoid fossa and inferior to the clavicle. I hope you enjoyed my quiz.
