3D Skeletal System: Function of the Sphenoid

The sphenoid. Aside from having the most sci-fi name in all existence, it's pretty much the coolest-looking bone in the body. Best yet? It's in your skull. Bet you never thought you've been walking around all this time with a bat-shaped bone in your head.

The sphenoid is an interesting bone in that while it doesn't actively protect the brain like the bones of the calvaria, it does have a multitude of functions, particularly in creating tunnels through which various nerves pass.

Antec NeoPower 550 Power Supply Review
This power supply uses a very simple mechanism to convert its 24-pin main power connector into a 20-pin one, see Figure 4. We took an in-depth look at the 550 W model and tested to see if it could really deliver its rated 550 W or not.

IMPORTANCE OF THE SPHENOID

There are 22 bones that make up the skull, and the sphenoid (don't you just love saying it?) is one of the 8 bones of the neurocranium. It is situated at the base of the skull, acting as the keystone. A keystone in architecture is the piece at the apex of an arch; it locks all the other pieces together and bears the weight. And just like a keystone holds everything together in an archway, so does the sphenoid in the skull.
