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 sphenoid bone spans the width of the cranial floor. It is a butterfly-shaped bone located at the base of the skull, and it articulates with many other bones, forming part of the floor of the cranium.
The Sphenoid (Sphenoidal Bone) this is why it is know as the keystone of the cranial floor *The sphenoid is not a facial bone, it is a cranial bone. There is no facial bone which 'articulates' with 'every other facial bone'. Articulation suggests jointed so sutures would make more sense & these sutures would be on all facial bones edges which knit them together
Where one cranial bone meets another is referred to as a suture line.
The hyoid bone is neither a cranial nor a facial bone. It is a U-shaped bone located in the neck that serves as a point of attachment for muscles involved in swallowing and speech.
Sphenoid bone: A prominent, irregular, wedge-shaped bone at the base of the skull. The sphenoid bone has been called the "keystone" of the cranial floor since it is in contact with all of the other cranial bones.The Greek physician Galen wrote that the sphenoid bone was "like a wedge thrust between the skull and the superior maxilla."
There are 8 cranial bones in the human skull. They include the frontal bone, parietal bones, temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone.
Frontal bone
The sphenoid bone spans the width of the cranial floor. It is a butterfly-shaped bone located at the base of the skull, and it articulates with many other bones, forming part of the floor of the cranium.
It is a sphenoid bone; single, irregular bat(a bird)-shape bone forming part of the CRANIAL Floor. Not many people think sphenoid bone being part of the cranial bone that is why they don't find any answer to this question. but Sphenoid bone is one of the cranial bone and can be found on the cranial floor when looking at the skull from its superior view.
parietal bone
The Sphenoid (Sphenoidal Bone) this is why it is know as the keystone of the cranial floor *The sphenoid is not a facial bone, it is a cranial bone. There is no facial bone which 'articulates' with 'every other facial bone'. Articulation suggests jointed so sutures would make more sense & these sutures would be on all facial bones edges which knit them together
