INTRODUCTION
The skull consists of 22 bones in most
adult specimens, and these bones come
together via cranial sutures. The function
of the skull is both structurally supportive
and protective. The skull will harden and
fuse through development to protect its
inner contents: the cerebrum, cerebellum,
brainstem, and orbits.
 FACIAL BONES
The face skeleton includes 14 facial bones
(6 paired and 2 unpaired) with specific
anatomical landmarks and embryological
development. These bones include the
paired inferior nasal conchae, nasal bones,
maxillae, palatine bones, lacrimal bones
and zygomatic bones, as well as the
unpaired mandible, and vomer.
CRANIAL BONES
There are eight cranial bones, each with a unique
shape:

+Frontal bone. This is the flat bone that makes up

your forehead.
+Parietal bones. This a pair of flat bones located on
either side of your head, behind the frontal bone.
+Temporal bones.
+Occipital bone.
+Sphenoid bone.
+Ethmoid bone.
 EAR OSSICLES
The middle ear consists of the tympanic
membrane and the bony ossicles called the
malleus, incus, and stapes. These three
ossicles connect the tympanic membrane to
the inner ear allowing for the transmission of
sound waves.
