Located at the back of the skull, the occipital bone serves an essential role in the human cranium’s structural integrity. Shaped like a trapezoid, it has a concave front surface, a convex back surface, and encloses a significant oval opening known as the foramen magnum. This gateway allows the cranial cavity to connect seamlessly with […]
