Paired horns are unique to ruminants and arise from a bony cornual process of the frontal bone. This process is hollow due to extension of the frontal sinus into the cornual process.

What bone do the Cornual processes come out of?

A process on the anterior border of the perpendicular portion of the palatine bone.

What is the bone structure on a cows head called?

Anatomy of the Neurocranium. The neurocranium or cranial bones are similarly split into two anatomical areas: the skull cap (calvarium) and skull base. The calvarium consists of the occipital bone, parietal bones, and frontal bone. These are joined by sutures that will be described later on.
