Introduction
After the A to Z of Skeletal Muscles was released to my students (and later my colleagues with the help of Aspen), I received some very valuable feedback from both. From this feedback it became apparent that this format was helpful to all in the health professional field. It was also apparent that there was a need for another pocket reference book of this type on bones and nerves. So as with the other book, I have started with a prototype examining the bones of one of the most complex group in the body, the SKULL. It is hoped that this proves to be as useful as my first A to Z book, and goes on to become a more comprehensive but quick and simple reference for all bones.

I would like to thank Aspen Pharmacare Australia and particularly Mr Greg Lam CEO and Mr Robert Koster Head of Marketing and Sales for stepping in and giving me their support in this project when it seemed I was not going to be able to complete it, due to lack of resources and time. Students, as always, but particularly today have to sacrifice many things in their pursuit of knowledge. It is hoped that this book will help to make that pathway easier and more enjoyable. As with my other ventures in this A to Z series we want to give knowledge to any who wish to use it.

Capitalization is used to demonstrate the bones involved in several structures including joints of all kinds (e.g. sutures). In other words the parietomastoid suture is listed as ParietoMastoid suture to further remind the reader of the involved bones or bony features involved in the composition of the structure. This helps to further orientate the reader to the structural components of the feature. It is hoped that this will prove a valuable resource for those examining individual bones as in the study of ANATOMY and its many uses such as: archeology, anthropology, chiropractic dentistry, forensics, geology, medicine, orthopaedics, osteology, paleontology, paleobiology, physiotherapy and surgery. It is to be a forerunner of a more complete listing of all bones from A to Z and a more extensive development of other aspects of the skull such as measurement markers, development milestones, individual and ethnic variations the A to Z of the Skull part II. Hence any suggestions on format or inclusions will be gratefully received. Thank you Amanda Neill

Red spots indicate when there is an articulation or joint between the bones. Please note the hyoid does not articulate with any bones and the mandible articulates at the only synovial joint in the skull- the TMJ -temporomandibular joint. All other joints are secondary cartilagenous bone-fibrocartilage-bone.

Highly vascularized and when the soft tissue surrounding this is swollen, it may cause nasal obstruction and sinuses. Please note when "picking one's nose" the finger never reaches the nasal conchae, stopping just short of this area.
