Its the butterfly of the skull, because of its wing-like processes. Divided into several parts *Body of the bone *Two greater wings, two lesser wings *Pterygoid processes @rev.med Temporal bones are on the sides, lateral to the temporal lobes of the brain. Consist of four regions *squamous, mastoid, petrous and tympanic regions Occipital bone forms the base of the skull at the rear of the cranium.
