The tympanic part of the temporal bone is a curved area anterior to the mastoid process. (1)
The petrosal fossula is a depression located between the jugular fossa and the external opening of the carotid canal. (1)
The inferior tympanic canaliculus is a small tunnel with its opening in the bony ridge between the external opening of the carotid canal and the jugular fossa. (1)
The stylomastoid foramen represents the termination of the facial canal. Its opening is located posterior to the styloid process. (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)
