Quadrate bone
The
quadrate
bone is part of a
skull
in most
tetrapods
, including
amphibians
,
sauropsids
(
reptiles
,
birds
), and early
synapsids
. In these animals it connects to the
quadratojugal
and
squamosal
in the skull, and forms part of the jaw joint (the other part is the
articular
bone at the rear end of the lower jaw).
