Throwback Thursday- old style of illustrating The occipital bone, and what makes it important? First off, it's a cranial bone protecting your brain. So there's that. Secondly, that great hole allows your brain to become a spinal cord or a spinal cord to become the brain, and therefore connect all the pieces of your body, sending and receiving information all day and all night. That little cross hairs on the inside are the attachments of the reciprocal tension membrane, falls and tentorium, that then fascially transfer through the bone to become the nuchal ligament. I talk more about that in the first course. The occipital bone also mirrors the sacrum as the top pole of the spine to the bottom. #asabovesobelow #cranialbones #occipitalbone #occiput #occipitalneuralgia #cranialsacraltherapy #cranialbonesmove #cranialnerves #cranials #cranialsacral #cranial #craniosacral #craniosacraltherapy #cranium #cranialanatomy #adaptablepolarity #anatomystudy #humananatomy #knowthyself https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2zD2arRch/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
