Definition
lesser wing and greater wing, stella turcica holds pituitary gland, optic foramen
Term
ethmoid bone
Definition
cranial gloor, lateral nasal, walls and nasal septum, cribriform plate and olfactory foramina, crista galli for attachement of membranes cover the brain
Term
ethmoid bone
Definition
lateral masses contain ethmoid sinuses, perpendicular plate is upper part of nasal septum, superior and middle nasal concha or turbinates( filters and warms air)
Term
