The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is a skull bone, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: The question lists several options, including Atlas, Coracoid process, Erythritoid, and Pterygoid. 2. **Analyze Atlas**: - The Atlas is the first vertebra in the vertebral column that supports the skull. - Since it is a vertebra and not a bone of the skull, this option is incorrect. 3. **Analyze Coracoid Process**: - The Coracoid process is a bony projection on the scapula (shoulder blade). - As it is part of the shoulder girdle and not the skull, this option is also incorrect. 4. **Analyze Erythritoid**: - The term "Erythritoid" does not refer to a recognized bone in the context of human anatomy. - Therefore, this option is also incorrect. 5. **Analyze Pterygoid**: - The Pterygoid bone is part of the skull. Specifically, it forms part of the palate in many vertebrates. - In humans, it is represented by the pterygoid processes of the sphenoid bone, which is indeed a skull bone. - Thus, this option is correct. 6. **Conclusion**: - The only option that is a skull bone is the Pterygoid. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is the **Pterygoid**, as it is a part of the skull. ---
