The human skull is made up of 22 bones that are fused together to protect the brain. These bones include the cranial bones, which are responsible for encasing the brain, and the facial bones. The cranial bones consist of eight primary bones, while the remaining bones contribute to the structure of the face. This fusion provides a strong and protective barrier for the delicate tissues of the brain.

What are the bones of the brain case?

The brain case, or cranial cavity, is primarily formed by eight bones: the frontal bone, parietal bones (two), temporal bones (two), occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone. These bones are fused together to protect the brain and support its structure. The frontal bone forms the forehead, parietal bones create the upper sides, temporal bones house the ears, the occipital bone forms the back and base, while the sphenoid and ethmoid bones contribute to the base and the nasal cavity, respectively. Together, they provide both protection and support for the brain.
