. The anatomy of the domestic animals. Veterinary anatomy. 132 SKELETON OF THE OX amen is situated on each side, at the junction of the occipital and temporal bones; it commimicates with tlie temporal and condyloid canals at their junction. The cerebral surface of the supraoccipital presents a central dejjression, and aliove this is a variable but never very pronounced eminence, the internal occipital jirotuber- ance. A groove on either side leads to the temporal canal. The basilar part is short and wide; its cerebral surface is deeply concave, anil the'internal spheno-occipital crest is prominent. Two large tubercles ventrally mark the junction with the Angle of mandible Minlid foramen Fig. 129.—Skull of Ox; Lateral View. The jaws are for the sake of clearness. .1, Parietal bone; B, squamous temporal bone; C, occipital bone; D, perpendicular part of palatine bone; E, maxilla; F, malar bone; G, lacrimal bone; H, premainlla; 1, occipital condyle; 2, paramastoid process; 3, meatus acusticus externus; 4, bulla ossea; 5, zygomatic process of temporal bone; 6, 6', zygomatic and temporal processes of malar bone; 7, supraorbital process; S, orbital part of lacrimal bone; 9, lacrimal bulla; 10, fossa sacci lacrimalis; 11, facial tuberosity: 12, foramen; 13, condyle of mandible; 14, coronoid process of mandible. The foramen lacerum is short and very narrow. In the adult animal the bone is excavated to contain an air-cavity which is regarded as a part of the frontal sinus. The sphenoid bone is short. The cerebral surface of the bodj' presents a deep sella turcica, in front of which it rises abruptly. The high anterior part bears a central ridge, the ethmoidal spine, which joins the crista galli of the ethmoid. Two foramina occur on either side. Of these, the large anterior one is equivalent to the foramen rotundum, orliitale, and trochleare of the horse; it may be termed. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page image
