The human skull has about 22 bones. The temple is supported by the temporal bones which is made up of five parts. These are the squama temporalis, the mastoid and petrous portions, the tympanic part and the styloid process.

Is the temple a hole in your head?

The term "temple" generally refers to the flat area on the side of your head, located between the forehead and the ear. It is not a hole, but rather a surface that covers the temporal bone and contains important blood vessels and nerves. If you're using "temple" metaphorically, it could imply a space for thoughts or emotions, but anatomically, it is not a hole.
