Basicranium
Definition
The skull base is formed from a series of cartilages either side of, and rostral to, the notochord, whose tip lies just caudal to the pituitary gland. It is closely associated with the sensory capsules, which partially or completely sur- round the olfactory epithelium, the eye, and the inner ear[PMID:11523816]
Also known as base of cranium, base of skull, basis cranii, cranial base — per UBERON
The Basicranium is a part of the Musculoskeletal.
