Veterinary anatomy. 50 THE SKELETON OF THE HORSE Its lower part is perforated centrally by a large, almost circular opening, the foramen magnum (Foramen occipitale magnum), at which the cranial cavity and vertebral canal join. The foramen is bounded laterally and dorsally by the lateral parts of the bone, antl ventrally by the basilar part. Above the lateral parts— but not entering into the formation of the foramen magnum—is the squamous part. The lateral parts (Partes laterales)^ bear the occipital condyles (Condyli oc- cipitales), which articulate with the atlas. The condyles are obliquely placed, wide apart dorsally, and separated ventrally by a small interval (Incisura inter- condyloidea). The articular surface is curved so sharply in the dorso-ventral Occipital Parietal Squamous temporal ^_ Frotital. i.
