Summary Introduction

To write:

The bone which located centrally and joins with most of the bones in the skull.

Introduction:

The skull is the bony structure, which surrounds the brain and form the bony structure of the face. The main function of the skull is to protect the brain and provides a bony support to the face. The skull is made of 22 bones fused together.

Explanation of Solution

The sphenoid bone is present in the middle of the skull. It located on the front side. The sphenoid bone has a shape like a butterfly or a bat. It articulates with frontal, ethmoid, parietal, zygomatic, temporal, vomer, palatine and the occipital bones. It helps in connecting the neurocranium to the skeleton of the face. It is the bone, which articulates with most of the bones of the skull.

Conclusion

The bone which is centrally located and joined with most of the other bones of skull is the sphenoid bone.

Match each term with its appropriate description. The vertebra holds up the world! (Your head, actually)   This bone is formed by fused vertebrae, and it supports the entire vertebral column.   This portion of the vertebra supports the weight of the body.   You can palpate this part of the vertebra by reaching behind you and feeling the middle of your back.   This feature connects transverse process to the body of a vertebra.   This feature connects the transverse processes of a vertebra with its spinous process   These vertebrae have foramina through the transverse processes   These vertebrae have large bodies and short, blunt spinous processes.   Part of the central nervous system passes through this part of the vertebra.   laminaC1 Atlasvertebral foramenlumbar vertebraebodypediclespinous processsacrumcervical vertebrae   Match each term with its appropriate description.   This muscle flexes your vertebral column to help you sit up when…
