Dentoalveolar Joint

A term that could describe the structural and functional relationship between teeth (dentition) and the alveolar bone, but not a commonly used term. More accurately referred to as the periodontal ligament.

Cervical Region

The upper part of the spine, consisting of the first seven vertebrae that form the neck.

Parietal Bones

Two bones forming the sides and roof of the cranium, each positioned on either side of the skull just behind the frontal bone.
