Superior Saggital Sinus
Anterior Cranial Fossa, Middle Cranial Fossa, Posterior Cranial Fossa
Identify the elevation.
What is the function of this structure?
Frontal fest and Christa Galli
Attachment of flax cerebri, olfactory bulbs run lateral to it
Foramen caecum

This has clinical importance in that infections of the nose and nearby areas can be transmitted to the meninges and brain from what is known as the danger triangle of the face.
