Which eight bones are the cranial bones?

The exterior cranial bones are the two frontal bones (fused together in adulthood to constitute the forehead), the two parietal bones (the top of the head), the two temporal bones, and the occipital bone. The internal cranial bones are the ethmoid bone and the sphenoid bone. Part of the occipital bone is also included as an internal cranial bone.


How many bones are in the cranium?

There are 8 cranial and 14 facial bones.The cranium is composed of a pair of parietal bones, a pair of temporal bones, one occipital bone, one frontal bone, one ethmoid bone, and one sphenoid bone. All these put together comprise the eight bones that compose the cranium.Eight cranial bones protect the brain: frontal, occipital, ethmoid, sphenoid and the two pairs of parietal and temporal bones.


Which bones form the viscerocranium?

The eye socket is formed from the frontal, sphenoid, palatine,ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, and zygomatic bone. The "brain case" or cranium is made of the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bone.


What are the eight bones that surround the brain?

The eight bones that surround the brain are the frontal, parietal (2), temporal (2), occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. These bones form the cranium, which provides protection and support for the brain.


Which bones does the sphenoid bone articulate with?

The answer is found in Gray's Anatomy, posted online here:http://www.bartleby.com/107/35.html"The sphenoid articulates with twelve bones: four single, the vomer, ethmoid, frontal, and occipital; and four paired, the parietal, temporal, zygomatic, and palatine."

What are the cranial bones?

It would be impossible to descride the location OS the bones without a diagram in any degree of accuracy as there are very many and they are in complicated arrangements. There is the Occipital bone (at the very back, articulates with the spine), 2 Parietal bones (at the top of the sides), 2 Temporal bones (at the bottom of the sides), 2 Zygomatic bones (the cheek bones), the Sphenoidal bone (butterfly shaped inside the head), the Ethmoid bone (very much hidden inside the facial bone structure), the Frontal bone (in the forehead), 2 Lacrimal bones (small ones in the eye socket) , the Nasal bone (the very top part of the nose), the Maxilla bone (the one behind the upper lip) and the Mandible bone (the jaw bone).
