What are the bones labeled in the dorsal view of the cat skull as shown in Figure 19.2?
In the dorsal view of the cat skull in Figure 19.2, the bones labeled are the premaxilla, nasal bone, frontal bone, sagittal suture, coronal suture, nuchal crest, maxilla, zygomatic (malar) bone, orbit, zygomatic arch, temporal bone, parietal bone, and interparietal bone.
Figure 19.2 of the atlas provides a detailed dorsal view of the cat skull, labeling several key bones and features. These include the premaxilla at the front of the skull, followed by the nasal bone and the frontal bone. The sagittal and coronal sutures are also marked, indicating the joints between the skull bones. The nuchal crest is identified at the back of the skull, while the maxilla and zygomatic (malar) bone form part of the facial structure. The orbit, which is the eye socket, and the zygomatic arch are also labeled. Additionally, the temporal bone, parietal bone, and interparietal bone are noted, completing the overview of the dorsal skull anatomy in the cat.
