7. Right temporal bone, os temporale, from without.<br />

The paired os temporale or temporal bone (<strong>of</strong>. also Figs. 8—15, 55, 56, 63—66) lies<br />

between the occipital bone and the sphenoid bone, helping to foi'm both the base <strong>of</strong> the slnill<br />

and its lateral wall. Each bone is divisible into four parts; the squama temporalis, pars<br />

mastoidea, pars petrosa and pars tympanica. Around the meatus acusticus externus ((wternal<br />

auditory canal) which is open lateralward, these parts are so arranged that the squama<br />

is directed upward, the pars mastoidea baclvward, the pars tympanica forward and downward<br />

and the pars petrosa, medianward and forward.<br />

The squama temporalis consists essentially <strong>of</strong> a vertical plate, the fi'ee approximately<br />

semi-circular border <strong>of</strong> which is serrated only in its anterior inferior portion, being otherwise<br />

bevelled fi-om within; the anterior part <strong>of</strong> the margin, margo sphenoidalis , unites mth the<br />

large wing <strong>of</strong> the sphenoid bone to form the sutura sphenosquamosa , the posterior, margo<br />

parietalis, with the margo squamosus oss. parietalis to form the sutura squamosa. The<br />

lateral surface, fades temporalis (for the m. temporalis), is smooth : projecting fi-om the lower<br />

part <strong>of</strong> this surface in front <strong>of</strong> the external auditory canal is the processus zygomaticus (for<br />

the lig. temporomandibulare ; m. masseter) with two roots <strong>of</strong> origin; it passes at first horizon-<br />

tally outward , then , turning at a right angle , forward. Between the two roots , directed<br />

dim-nward, lies the fossa mandibularis (0. T. glenoid cavitjO with the fades articularis,<br />

limited in front by the fi'ontally placed tuberculum articulare , the lattrr being covered by<br />

cartilage. On the outer surface <strong>of</strong> the squama temporalis is seen, passing upward ia the<br />

posterior part, the sulcus arteriae temporalis mediae (for the a. temper, med.). Eunning<br />

out also from the posterior extremity <strong>of</strong> the zygomatic process is a ridge, the linea temporalis,<br />

which curves backward to become continuous with the linea temporalis inferior <strong>of</strong> the parietal<br />

bone. The medial surface <strong>of</strong> the squama, fades cerebralis, presents well marked juga cerebralia<br />

and impressiones digitatae as well as a deep sulcus arteriosus.
