What pertains to the area that includes bones enclosing the brain but excluding facial bones?

The area that includes bones enclosing the brain, excluding facial bones, is known as the cranial cavity, which is part of the skull. The main bones in this area are the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. These bones protect the brain and support its structure while providing attachment points for the meninges and muscles. Collectively, they form the cranial vault that safeguards the central nervous system.
