| The therapist uses their hands to compress the participant's temporal squama before slowly releasing the pressure. |
| At seventy the squama of the temporal bone unites with the parietal, and at eighty the entire cranium has become a single bone. |
| Sterkers' technique is based on identifying the internal acoustic canal by drilling bone 28 mm medial to the squama on the biauricular line. |
| A bony process may project from the anterior edge of the squama that runs between the sphenoid and parietal bones to the lateral edge of the frontal bone. |
