Articulations

[edit]

What other bones does the occipital bone articulate with? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.110.134.110 (talkcontribs) 17:19, 10 November 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 156.110.134.110! The occipital bone articulates with the paired parietal bones and the temporal bone. Bibeyjj (talk) 16:06, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have proposed this merge, between the 'ossification' page and this article, because:

  • There is no need for the information on ossification to be hidden away on a separate article. This means the information is not presented as it could be, and it is needlessly fragmented.
  • It is standard on Anatomy pages, and recommended in WP:MEDMOS#Anatomy, for 'Development' sections to be displayed on the same page.
  • Additionally, this page is small and it would give more context to have the information displayed in a central location, rather than hidden on a separate article.
  • If necessary, the article on ossification could be expanded at a later date. LT910001 (talk) 07:18, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with occiput

[edit]

Why is this seperate form the occiput article? Yes, occiput is more general and less scientific, but the subject here certainly falls within that. FunkMonk (talk) 01:34, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
