What organs are there inside a human skull?

The skull is actually several large, flat bones that are connected by sutures (an immovable synarthritic joint). The occipital bone makes up the rear part of the skull (the back of the head). The temporal bone forms the sides of the skull and protects the structures of the inner ear. The parietal bone has a left and right hemisphere -- like the brain -- and connects to the frontal bone (the forehead). If you want to know the scientific name for "skull," it's Cranium.


What part is cranium of the skull?

As you touch the area of your temple region about as high as your ear straight forward towards the nose you can feel the muscle there which can be found easily by clenching your jaw repetitively, go to the top of the muscle towards the peak of your head about two inches above the edge of the muscle and that is the supperiorlateral part of the cranium. Often injuried in a head trauma. Hope that helps.


Where on your body would you find your mandible?
