Document Summary

Interior of the skull cranial fossae: the floor (base) of the cranial cavity is divided into three cranial fossae anterior cranial fossa (a), middle cranial fossa (m), and posterior cranial fossa (p). Sphenoid ridge separates a from m. petrous ridge separates m from p. the middle meningeal artery is deep to the pterion. These fossae are like the base of the neurocranium (cranial bones). P, it gets deeper, like going down stairs. The sphenoid bone is partly in a and partly in m. Bones of anterior cranial fossa: consists of frontal bone (orbital plate), ethmoid bone (cribriform plate), and sphenoid bone (lesser wing). The orbital plates are horizontal plates that the top of the orbit of the eye (separate brain from eye). The cribriform plate has perforations (olfactory foramina) that olfactory nerves travel through. Crista galli runs down the middles and separates the two cribriform plates.
