| inferior surface of petrous part of temporal bone | Inferior surface of petrous part of the temporal bone; the portion of the petrous part of the temporal bone that contributes to the external base of the skull. Synonym: facies inferior partis petrosae ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior turbinated bone | A thin, spongy, bony plate with curved margins, on the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, separating the middle from the inferior meatus; it articulates with the ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, and palate bones, the above bony plate and its thick mucoperiosteum containing an extensive cavernous vascular bed for heat exchange. Synonym: concha nasalis inferior, inferior turbinated bone, turbinated body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| innominate bone | A large flat bone formed by the fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis (in the adult), constituting the lateral half of the pelvis; it articulates with its fellow anteriorly, with the sacrum posteriorly, and with the femur laterally. Synonym: os coxae, coxa, coxal bone, innominate bone, os innominatum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermaxillary bone | The anterior and inner portion of the maxilla, which in the foetus and sometimes in the adult is a separate bone; the incisive suture runs from the incisive canal between the lateral incisor and the canine tooth; according to K. Albrecht, the os incisivum is further divided by a suture between the two incisor teeth on each side into two bones, the endognathion and the mesognathion. Synonym: incisive bone, intermaxilla, intermaxillary bone, os intermaxillare, os premaxillare, premaxilla, premaxillary bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate cuneiform bone | A bone of the distal row of the tarsus; it articulates with the medial and lateral cuneiform, navicular, and second metatarsal bones. Synonym: os cuneiforme intermedium, mesocuneiform, middle cuneiform bone, second cuneiform bone, wedge bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal surface of frontal bone | The surface of the frontal bone that contributes to the wall of the cranial cavity. Synonym: facies interna ossis frontalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal surface of parietal bone | The concave surface of the parietal bone forming part of the wall of the cranial cavity. Synonym: facies interna ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interparietal bone | The upper part of the squama of the occipital bone, developed in membrane instead of in cartilage as is the rest of the occipital, and occasionally (especially in ancient Peruvian skulls) existing as a separate bone, separated from the remainder of the occipital by the sutura mendosa. Synonym: incarial bone, interparietal bone, os incae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| irregular bone | One of a group of bones having peculiar or complex forms, e.g., vertebrae, many of the skull bones. Synonym: os irregulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischial bone | 1. <anatomy> The ventral and posterior of the three principal bones composing either half of the pelvis; seat bone; the huckle bone. 2. <zoology> One of the pleurae of insects. Origin: L, Gr. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| occipital bone | The bone forming the rear (and rear bottom) of the skull. (12 Dec 1998) |
| occipital border of parietal bone | The posterior margin of the parietal bone that articulates with the occipital squama. Synonym: margo occipitalis ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
