	Vomer bone -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The vomer bone is one of the unpaired facial (Rigid connective tissue that makes up the skeleton of vertebrates) bones of the (The bony skeleton of the head of vertebrates) skull.
		The vomer bone is situated in the median plane, but its anterior portion is frequently bent to one or other side.
		The vomer articulates with six bones: two of the cranium, the sphenoid and ethmoid; and four of the face, the two maxillæ and the two palatine bones; it also articulates with the septal cartilage of the nose.

	Head Lecture notes
		The last piece of cartilage to ossify is between the body of the sphenoid bone and the occipital bone, anterior to the foramen magnum: this is the spheno-occipital synchondrosis (the epiphyseal plate for growth in length of the base of the skull and it ossifies at age 25).
		The hypoglossal canal (anterior condylar) canal and the posterior condylar canal.
		The vomer bone in the posterior opening (the choanae) of the nasal cavity is attached by a fibrous joint to the undersurface of the body of the sphenoid.

	biology - Skull
		The hyoid bone, supporting the larynx, is usually not considered as part of the skull, as it does not articulate with any other bones.
		The bones of the splanchnocranium and the sides and roof of the neurocranium are formed by intramembranous (or dermal) ossification, while the bones supporting the brain (the occipital, sphenoid, temporal, and ethmoid) are largely formed by endochondral ossification.
		The bones of the roof of the skull are initially separated by regions of dense connective tissue.

		The anterior fontanelle is located at the junction of the frontal and parietal bones, it is a "soft spot" on a baby's forehead.
		However, this bit of knowledge is rarely discussed in public because of the need to avoid encouraging pseudoscientific theories like phrenology which attempt to connect skull shape to intelligence.
		One, the pterion ossicle, sometimes exists between the sphenoidal angle of the parietal bone and the great wing of the sphenoid bone.

		The squama portion of the occipital and temporal bones as well as the paired parietal and frontal bone structures is derived from membrane.
		Since the vomer bone directly connects the hard palate with the rostrum of the sphenoid bone, cranial lesions will be reflected as a flat palatal distortion.

		In cats with palatal disjunction, if the palatal shelves are not too spread apart following the injury, the vomer bone and nasal structures located underneath may help in retaining the blood clot and healing may occur whether or not sutures have been placed on the mucoperiosteum.
		The advantage of the technique is that very little maxillary bone (hard palate) is left uncovered, decreasing the likelihood of abnormal facial growth or bone necrosis.

	Skull 1
		Nasal Region Close-Up Mandible Close-Up The skull is comprised of two main groups of bones, the cranial bones which form the cranium (a set of bones that forms the box enclosing the brain) and the facial bones (the bones comprising the anterior surface of the skull including the jaw).
		The frontal bone forms the anterior portion of the cranium commonly referred to as the forehead.
		Areas of the frontal bone just lateral to the glabella are filled with rather large cavities called the frontal sinuses.

		The bones of the roof of the skull are initially separated by regions of dense connective tissue called "sutures".
		When a good amount of bones are found, such as Spital Field in UK and Jomon shell mounds in Japan, osteologists can use such traits, such as proportions of length, height, width, to know the relationships of population of the study, with living or extinct ones.
		Among archaeologists and forensic scientists, it is well-known that the most consistent and unique trait of ancestry in skeleton is skull shape.

		The placement and pattern of teeth are also a distinguishing feature; in the centre of the upper jaw is a bone known as the vomer, which is flanked on each side by a palatine bone.
		In the wolffish family, teeth are found on both the vomer and the palantines.
		The feature that distinguishes the Atlantic wolffish is that the teeth on the vomer bone extend back beyond the palantine teeth at the sides.
