From the superior view only 4 bones Are seen. The paired parietal bones meet at the midline sagittal suture. The coronal suture separates the frontal bone from the anterior aspect of the parietal bones. The lambdoidal suture separates the occipital bone from the posterior aspect of the parietal bones Small bones trapped in the suture Are referred to as sutural bones

With the calvarium (the skull cap) removed, you can see the role the bones of the skull play in forming the floor of the cranial cavity.

The bones of the floor of the skull form three step-like depressions (fossae): - the anterior cranial fossa (houses the frontal lobe of the brain) - the middle cranial fossa (houses the temporal lobe of the brain - the posterior cranial fossa (houses the cerebellum)

The hyoid bone is referred to as a “floating bone” as it does not directly articulate with any other bone but is held in place with muscles and membranes. The larynx is suspended from the hyoid. The hyoid is composed of:
- body - greater horn (cornu) - lesser horn (cornu)

The thoracic cage is composed of a series of 12 ribs that articulate posteriorly with the vertebra, and when extending anteriorly either join the sternum via a costal cartilage, or join a common costal cartilage which then articulates with the sternum.

The pectoral girdle (that attaches the upper limb to the axial skeleton) is composed of two bones: - the clavicle (anteriorly) - the scapula (posteriorly) The clavicle (a) extends between the sternum and the acromion of the scapula.
• The adult pelvic girdle is composed of three bones: a right and left hip bone (os coxae) and the intervening sacrum – which is a component of the axial skeleton.
• The two hip bones are held together anteriorly by a very stout pubic symphysis (fibrocartilage joint).
• Posteriorly there is a sacroiliac joint on each side of the sacrum.

• Each hip bone (os coxae) is formed embryologically from three bones:
- ilum
- ischium
- pubis
• The bones fuse in the central region of the acetabulum (little vinegar cup) where the head of the femur inserts at the hip joint.
