If there are 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones and there are 28 bones in all and 8 1422 then what are the other six bones?

You have a malleus, incus and stapes in each ear which makes up your 6 but also the hyoid bone (around the top of your throat, holds the larynx and other structures in place) is usually counted in with these bones making 29 in all Who said there are 28 cranial / facial bones? The cranial facial complex is composed of 22 bones. The other bones hyoid, malleus, incus, stapes etc. are not considered part of the cranial facial complex.


Does Endochondral ossification leads to the formation of cranial bones?

Yes, endochondral ossification is one of the processes through which cranial bones are formed. In this process, bone tissue is formed by replacing hyaline cartilage models that initially develop from mesenchymal cells. This mechanism contributes to the growth and development of cranial bones.


What is the area where two or more bones join together?

The area where two or more bones join together is called a joint. Joints allow for movement and provide stability to the skeletal system. Examples of joints include the knee, elbow, and shoulder.

How may bones are there in a head?

There are 29 bones in the human head. They consist of 8 cranial bones, 14 facial bones, the hyoid bone, and 6 auditory (ear) bones. 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 kind of joint is a cranial suture both structurally and functionally?

Sutures are a type of fibrous joint that only occur between bones of the skull, or cranial bones and allow only tiny amounts of movement. The bone edges interlock and the gaps are filled with tissue fibres (hence the name fibrous joints). During middle age, the tissue fibres ossify (become bones) so that the skull bones fuse into one single unit. The immovable nature of sutures helps protect the brain, as any movement of the cranial bones would damage the brain. But to answer the actual question that is asked, it is a synarthroses.
