Difference between Infratemporal fossa and Middle cranial fossa

Infratemporal fossa vs. Middle cranial fossa

The infratemporal fossa is an irregularly shaped cavity, situated below and medial to the zygomatic arch. The middle cranial fossa, deeper than the anterior cranial fossa, is narrow medially and widens laterally to the sides of the skull.

Similarities between Infratemporal fossa and Middle cranial fossa

Infratemporal fossa and Middle cranial fossa have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Foramen ovale (skull), Foramen spinosum, Greater wing of sphenoid bone, Mandibular nerve, Middle meningeal artery, Sphenoid bone, Squamous part of temporal bone, Trigeminal nerve.

Foramen ovale (skull)

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.

Foramen spinosum

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

Greater wing of sphenoid bone

The greater wing of the sphenoid bone, or alisphenoid, is a bony process of the sphenoid bone; there is one on each side, extending from the side of the body of the sphenoid and curving upward, laterally, and backward.

Mandibular nerve

The mandibular nerve (V3) is the largest of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve, the fifth cranial nerve (CN V).

Middle meningeal artery

The middle meningeal artery (arteria meningea media) is typically the third branch of the first part (retromandibular part) of the maxillary artery, one of the two terminal branches of the external carotid artery.

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.

Squamous part of temporal bone

The squamous part of temporal bone, or temporal squama, forms the front and upper part of the temporal bone, and is scale-like, thin, and translucent.

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.
