1

The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage; the appendicular includes limbs and girdles.

2

The coronal suture runs horizontally across the top of the skull, between frontal and parietal bones.

3

The anterior fontanelle lies at the junction of the frontal and two parietal bones and closes over time.

4

Paranasal sinuses are in the frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, and maxillary bones.

5

Primary curves are thoracic and sacral; secondary curves (cervical and lumbar) develop with milestones like head raising and walking.

6

Nucleus pulposus is the jelly-like center; annulus fibrosus is the surrounding ring.

7

True ribs attach directly to the sternum via costal cartilage.

8

Seven bones form the orbit: frontal, zygomatic, maxilla, sphenoid, ethmoid, palatine, and lacrimal.

9

Jugular foramen is created where temporal and occipital bones meet.

10

The hyoid sits in soft tissue in the neck and serves as an attachment for tongue and laryngeal muscles.
