temporal bone
The temporal bone is a large, irregularly shaped bone located at the base and sides of the skull. It is involved in several crucial functions, such as housing the structures of the ear that facilitate hearing and balance, forming key parts of the jaw joint, and providing protective coverage for important parts of the brain. It is divided into several regions, including the squamous, mastoid, tympanic, and petrous parts.
