• What is the function of the zygomatic bone?

  It forms the cheekbone and contributes to the orbit.
• What is the role of the nasal bone?

  It forms the bridge of the nose.
• What is the function of the lacrimal bone?

  It contributes to the medial wall of the orbit.
• What is the role of the vomer in the viscerocranium?

  It forms part of the nasal septum.
• What is the function of the palatine bone?

  It forms part of the hard palate and the floor of the nasal cavity.
• What are the major features of the oral cavity?

  Vestibule, Frenulum, Sublingual Fold, Deep Lingual Vein, Plica Fimbriata, Sublingual Papilla, Sulcus Terminalis
• What is the significance of the sublingual fold in the oral cavity?

  It contains the sublingual glands and facilitates the movement of the tongue.
• What is the role of the deep lingual vein?

  It aids in the drainage of blood from the tongue.
• What is the function of the plica fimbriata?

  It is a fold of tissue that helps anchor the tongue.
• What is the significance of the sulcus terminalis?

  It separates the anterior two-thirds from the posterior one-third of the tongue.
• What are the boundaries of the anterior triangle of the neck?

  Bounded by the sternocleidomastoid, mandible, and midline of the neck.
• What are the contents of the posterior triangle of the neck?

  Contains the sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, and clavicle.
• What are the contents of the submandibular triangle?

  Contains the digastric (posterior and anterior belly) muscles.
• What are the contents of the carotid triangle?

  Contains the digastric (posterior belly), sternocleidomastoid, and omohyoid muscles.
• What are the contents of the muscular triangle?

  Contains the omohyoid, sternohyoid, and sternocleidomastoid muscles.
• What are the contents of the occipital triangle?

  Contains the trapezius, omohyoid, and sternocleidomastoid muscles.
• What are the contents of the omoclavicular triangle?

  Contains the omohyoid, clavicle, and sternocleidomastoid muscles.
