Document Summary
Tendon: connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone (it integrates to the periosteum). Ligament: connective tissue that attaches one bone to another. When we look at the skull, one way to divide it up is: Cranial bones, job to keep the brain safe. A lot of our socialization comes from reading each others faces, therefore the muscles and the bones on our faces are very important in terms of communication. The mandible is made of diffusion of two bones. Lacrima means cry in latin lacrimal bone. The sphenoid bone has a whole in it. The ethmoid bone makes up the majority of the nasal cavity (it cannot really be seen from the outside). The foramen magnum is a big hole from which passes the spinal cord. The skull is made of immovable joints, which are not smooth but composed of ridges (this is why they do not move apart).
