Answer:

This question lacks options, options are: A. Petrous part B. Mastoid process C. Tympanic part D. Squamous part. The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Squamous part represents most of the lateral surface of the temporal bone. It is located on the external acoustic meatus. Its surface is smooth on the outside and slightly convex on the inside wall. It is the area in contact with the parietal and has two portions, one vertical and the other a small horizontal portion, divided by the zygomatic process. The external face of the vertical portion is convex and smooth, presents a vascular groove with an upward and backward direction for the middle meningeal artery, and is covered by the temporal muscle. The horizontal crest, a rearward extension of the zygomatic process, is the mastoid crest or temporal line and indicates the level of the floor of the middle cranial fossa. This line is important because it will be the upper limit of the mastoidectomy. Above and slightly posterior to the EAC, a pointed process is observed, the suprathetic spine or Henle's spine and behind, the cribriform or supramathetic fossa. The inner face of the vertical portion of the temporalis scales covers part of the temporal lobe of the brain, it is part of the middle cranial fossa, and in it impressions of the cerebral convolutions and a deep groove for the middle meningeal artery are observed.

dmitriy555 [2]

Explanation:

Not to be confused with Civic society.

Civil society can be understood as the "third sector" of society, distinct from government and business, and including the family and the private sphere.[1] By other authors, civil society is used in the sense of 1) the aggregate of non-governmental organizations and institutions that manifest interests and will of citizens or 2) individuals and organizations in a society which are independent of the government.[2]

Sometimes the term civil society is used in the more general sense of "the elements such as freedom of speech, an independent judiciary, etc, that make up a democratic society" (Collins English Dictionary).[3] Especially in the discussions among thinkers of Eastern and Central Europe, civil society is seen also as a normative concept of civic values.
