Articulations edit
What other bones does the occipital bone articulate with? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.110.134.110 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 10 November 2004 (UTC)
- Hi 156.110.134.110! The occipital bone articulates with the paired parietal bones and the temporal bone. Bibeyjj (talk) 16:06, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Proposed merge with Ossification of occipital bone edit
I have proposed this merge, between the 'ossification' page and this article, because:
- There is no need for the information on ossification to be hidden away on a separate article. This means the information is not presented as it could be, and it is needlessly fragmented.
- It is standard on Anatomy pages, and recommended in WP:MEDMOS#Anatomy, for 'Development' sections to be displayed on the same page.
- Additionally, this page is small and it would give more context to have the information displayed in a central location, rather than hidden on a separate article.
- If necessary, the article on ossification could be expanded at a later date. LT910001 (talk) 07:18, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Done
Merge with occiput edit
Why is this seperate form the occiput article? Yes, occiput is more general and less scientific, but the subject here certainly falls within that. FunkMonk (talk) 01:34, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
