The occipital bone (/??k's?p?t?l/) is a cranial dermal bone and
the main bone of the occiput (back and lower part of the skull).
It is trapezoidal in shape and curved on itself like a shallow dish.
The occipital bone overlies the occipital lobes of the cerebrum.
At the base of skull in the occipital bone, there is a large oval
opening called the foramen magnum, which allows the passage of the
spinal cord.
Like the other cranial bones, it is classed as a flat bone. Due to
its many attachments and features, the occipital bone is described
in terms of separate parts. From its front to the back is the basilar
part, also called the basioccipital, at the sides of the foramen
magnum are the lateral parts, also called the exoccipitals, and the
back is named as the squamous part. The basilar part is a thick, somewhat
quadrilateral piece in front of the foramen magnum and directed towards
the pharynx. The squamous part is the curved, expanded plate behind
the foramen magnum and is the largest part of the occipital bone.
Due to its embryonic derivation from paraxial mesoderm (as opposed
to neural crest, from which many other craniofacial bones are derived),
it has been posited that "the occipital bone as a whole could be considered
as a giant vertebra enlarged to support the brain."[1]
