THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The occipital bone overlies the occipital lobe of the brain (which contains the primary visual cortex), and forms joints with the parietal bones superiorly and the temporal bones laterally. The bone forms two condyles at its inferior surface for articulating with the Atlas vertebrae.

Detailed explanation-2: -The squamous part of the occipital bone is the most posterior and largest portion. It is the part of the bone that borders the parietal and temporal bone, and the posterior part of the foramen magnum. The outer squamous part contains several ridges or lines, crests, and prominences.

Detailed explanation-3: -The occipital bone is the trapezoid-shaped bone that houses the back part of the brain. Located at the lower-back of the cranium, the occipital bone is one of seven bones that come together to form your skull.

Detailed explanation-4: -The occipital lobes sit at the back of the head and are responsible for visual perception, including colour, form and motion.
