The styloid process of the temporal bone is a sharp bony process situated lateral to the jugular fossa. (1,8)
The intrajugular process of the temporal bone is a bone spicule that occasionally projects from the jugular foramen. Its union with the occipital bone’s intrajugular process results in a bridge that divides the jugular foramen into two compartments. (1,11)
The jugular fossa is a depression located on the inferior surface of the petrous part, located laterally to the external opening of the carotid canal. (1)
The inferior surface of the petrous part is a rough, irregular surface that contributes to the formation of the exterior base of the skull. (1)
The groove for the superior petrosal sinus is a groove situated along the superior border of the petrous part of the temporal bone. (1)
