The skull is composed of eight bones: These include the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital, two temporals, and two parietals. These bones form the rigid structure of the head, providing protection for the brain and support for facial structures.
The skull consists of two main parts: The calvaria (vault), which is the upper part forming the brain's protective covering, and the base of the skull, which forms the floor of the cranial cavity and supports the brainstem and other structures (LABANATALGER, 202425).
The face is an osseous mass attached anteriorly and inferiorly to the base of the skull: It is composed of facial bones that form the structure of the nose, mouth, and orbits, and is connected to the skull via sutures and articulations, serving as the anterior framework of the head.
