What are the two bones of the skull?
The skull or cranium is also called the brain case. All the bones of the skull (except the mandible) are firmly interlocked along structures called sutures. Cranium or brain case or helmet is composed of eight bones including the frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones, along with a pair of parietal and temporal bones. The skull, in an adult, is only one bone made of 8 fused bones. The lower jaw or mandible, is not part of the skull but is part of the face.
Where is the area where cranial bones join together?
Cranial bones join at sutures.
What cranial bone is not sutured?
All cranial bones are joined by sutures with some bones having Sharpey's fibres giving a degree of flexability to some joints but even these joints are still sutures. The part of the skull that is not sutured is the mandible (the jaw) but then this structure is not actually a part of the cranium. The cranium is the portion of the skull that contains the brain.

The 8 cranial bones are the frontal, 2 parietal, occipital, 2 temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. The 14 facial bones are the 2 maxilla, mandible, 2 zygoma, 2 lacrimal, 2 nasal, 2 turbinate, vomer and 2 palate bones. The hyoid bone is horseshoe-shaped bone at the base of the tongue. The 6 auditory ossicles (little bones) are the malleus, incus and stapes in each ear.
What does the term condyle mean?
condyle refers to specific bones in the human body e.g. the condyle being the tip of the shaft of the jaw fitting into the glenoid fossa, the socket on the skull. More specifically the condyle is the edge of the mandible (jaw bone). Most often a normal undiseased condyle is rounded and can change shapes due to disease or internal derangment of the disc and ligaments. Yet it can be warped over time from the above said, grinding itself against the skull causing a creaking sound known as crepitus and therefor can become disfugred, diseased and painful hence the misshapen condyle either thinning and or now triangular in shape.
How many bones movable bones does the skull have?
