The skull is primarily composed of two main parts: the cranium and the facial bones. The cranium, or braincase, consists of eight flat bones that protect the brain, including the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. The facial skeleton is made up of 14 bones, including the maxilla, mandible, and nasal bones, which support the face and form the cavities for the eyes, mouth, and nasal passages. Together, these components provide structure, protection, and support for the head and its functions.
