Question

The foramen magnum is found in the ________ bone.
A) frontal
B) parietal
C) ethmoid
D) occipital
E) temporal

Accepted Answer

The foramen magnum is a large opening at the base of the skull that allows the spinal cord to connect with the brain. It is found in the occipital bone, which forms the back of the skull. The other bone choices (frontal, parietal, ethmoid, and temporal) are located in different parts of the skull and do not contain the foramen magnum.
