| | The axial skeleton Chapter 7 |
 | | The adult vertebral column, or spine, consists of 26 bones: the vertebrae (24), the sacrum, and the coccyx, or tailbone. | | | A specialized joint between the occipital bone and the first vertebra of the neck stabilizes the positions of the brain and spinal cord while permitting a considerable range of head movements. | | | The styloid process, near the base of the mastoid process, is attached to ligaments that support the hyoid bone and to the tendons of several muscles associated with the hyoid bone, the tongue, and the pharynx. |

| | Microscopic Age Changes in the Human Occipital Bone |
| | The value of histological examination of the human occipital bone for estimation of age-at-death was assessed. | | | The microscopic results reflect the continuous process of bone remodeling that is responsible for the variation in cortical parameters with age and is the primary basis for age predicting methods. | | | While observable changes in the occipital bone do occur with increasing age, the amount of random variation in the parameters examined preclude their use for accurate age estimation. |

| | The Harper Fragment |
| | In contrast, occipital bone is characterized by major variations on its internal surface (i.e., many different bumps and grooves from various things), much greater curvature, and substantial variation in thickness (compare drawings of internal aspects of parietal and occipital bone in Figure 2). | | | In contrast to parietal bone, occipital bone does not show a pattern of vascular grooving. | | | More importantly, the origin of the Harper fragment as parietal bone does not in any way support the conclusion that John Kennedy was struck in the head by one and only one bullet. |
