The mastoid process is a bony projection located on the outer surface of the posterior part of the bone.(1,8)
The occipital margin of the temporal bone is represented by the posterior border of the petrous part of the temporal bone. (8)
The petrous part of the temporal bone is shaped like a pyramid with an apex, three surfaces, and three borders. It is oriented with its base laterally. (1,7)
The tympanic part of the temporal bone is the portion that contributes to the ear canal. It is located inferior to the squamous part of the temporal bone. (1)
The squamous part of the temporal bone is the flat, thin section of the bone that is located superior to the petrous and tympanic parts. It articulates with the parietal bone. (1)
