Difference between Foramen ovale (skull) and Infratemporal fossa

Foramen ovale (skull) vs. Infratemporal fossa

At the base of the skull, the foramen ovale (Latin: oval window) is one of the larger of the several holes (the foramina) that transmit nerves through the skull. The infratemporal fossa is an irregularly shaped cavity, situated below and medial to the zygomatic arch.

Similarities between Foramen ovale (skull) and Infratemporal fossa

Foramen ovale (skull) and Infratemporal fossa have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Foramen spinosum, Mandibular nerve, Middle meningeal artery, Sphenoid bone, Trigeminal nerve.

Foramen spinosum

The foramen spinosum is one of two foramina located in the base of the human skull, on the sphenoid bone.

Sphenoid bone

The sphenoid bone is an unpaired bone of the neurocranium. It is situated in the middle of the skull towards the front, in front of the temporal bone and the basilar part of the occipital bone. The sphenoid bone is one of the seven bones that articulate to form the orbit. Its shape somewhat resembles that of a butterfly or bat with its wings extended.

Trigeminal nerve

The trigeminal nerve (the fifth cranial nerve, or simply CN V) is a nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing; it is the largest of the cranial nerves.
