The skull is composed of the cranium, the facial bones, and the jaw, also called the mandible. The cranium has several bones, 1 frontal, 2 parietal, 2 temporal, and 1 occiptal; for a total of 6. They are soft and contain a lot of cartilage in early childhood, but later in adulthood, they are interconnected by joints called sutures. The main job of the skull is to house and protect the brain. It also supports the facial bones, and forms a joint (temporomandibular joint) with the jaw.
