2023年10月30日 · The occipital bone is an unpaired bone which covers the back of the head (occiput). It is bordered by the lamboid, occipitomastoid, and the petro-occipital sutures. The occipital bone is divided into four parts arranged around the foramen magnum, as follows:

2023年3月22日 · The occipital bone is a flat, unpaired bone that forms a major part of the posterior wall and base of the skull. It is a complex structure that protects the cerebellum and occipital lobes of the cerebrum and provides attachment to several muscles and ligaments.

Their long axis points forward and inward, with their front ends reaching towards the basilar part of the occipital bone and their back ends stretching outwards and backwards ...

The occipital condyle (OC) is a unique structure which connects cranium to the vertebral column forming craniovertebral joint (CVJ) which is specialized to provide a wider range of movement of skull on the vertebral column. [1] . The stability of CVJ depends largely on the morphology and morphometric parameters of the OC. [2] .
