The '''temporal bones''' are situated at the sides and base of the [[skull]].
The temporal bone supports that part of the face known as the [[temple (anatomy) |temple]].
==Parts==
Each consists of five parts:
* [[Squama temporalis]]
* [[Mastoid portion]]
* [[Petrous portion of the temporal bone|Petrous portion]]
* [[Tympanic part]]
* [[Styloid process (temporal)]]
==Composition==
The structure of the squama is like that of the other cranial bones: the mastoid portion is spongy, and the petrous portion dense and hard.
