You have several bones in your head that protect your brain. Together they are called the skull or cranium. All the bones of the skull (except the mandible) are firmly interlocked along structures called sutures.
Cranium is the brain case or helmet composed of eight bones including the frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones, along with a pair of parietal and temporal bones.
