Skull Bones

The skull is a complex bony structure that protects the brain. The human skull comprises 22 bones, including eight cranial bones that encase and protect the brain and 14 facial bones that form the structure of the face. The skull bones are connected by fibrous joints that fuse together in adulthood to form a rigid structure.

Frontal Bone

The frontal bone forms the forehead and protects the frontal lobes of the brain.

Parietal Bones

The paired parietal bones make up the sides and roof of the skull, protecting the top and sides of the brain.

Temporal Bones

The temporal bones house the ears and contain important structures like the middle and inner ear, as well as the temporal lobes of the brain.

Occipital Bone 

The occipital bone forms the back of the skull, protecting the cerebellum and the visual center of the brain.

Sphenoid Bone

The sphenoid bone is a complex bone that forms the base of the skull and contributes to the eye sockets and nasal cavity.

Ethmoid Bone

The ethmoid bone is located between the eyes and forms part of the nasal cavity, as well as contributing to the eye sockets and skull base.

Zygomatic Bones

The zygomatic bones, commonly known as the cheekbones, form the prominence of the cheeks and contribute to the structure of the eye sockets.

Maxilla

The maxilla forms the upper jaw and plays a role in facial structure, holding the upper teeth and providing support to the nasal cavity and eye sockets.

Nasal Bones

The nasal bones form the bridge of the nose, providing support and protection for the nasal passages.

Vomer

The vomer is a small, thin bone that forms the inferior portion of the nasal septum, helping to divide the nasal cavity into left and right sides.

Palatine Bones

The palatine bones form the posterior part of the hard palate, helping to separate the oral and nasal cavities.

Inferior Nasal Conchae

The inferior nasal conchae are delicate bones that project from the lateral walls of the nasal cavity, helping to increase the surface area and improve airflow within the nasal passages.

Lacrimal Bones

The lacrimal bones are the smallest bones in the skull and are located in the inner corners of the eye sockets, playing a role in tear production.

Mandible

The mandible, or lower jawbone, is the largest and strongest facial bone, responsible for supporting the lower teeth and facilitating chewing and speaking.

Teeth

Teeth are not technically considered part of the skull, but they are vital components of the oral cavity. They are composed primarily of dentin and enamel and serve important functions in biting, chewing, and speech. Teeth are anchored to the jawbones (maxilla and mandible) through roots, forming a part of the overall skull structure.
