The holes in the skull, known as foramina, serve various important functions. They allow for the passage of nerves, blood vessels, and other structures between the brain and other parts of the body. These openings are essential for communication and the supply of nutrients, as well as for the regulation of bodily functions. Additionally, they contribute to the overall lightweight structure of the skull while still providing protection for the brain.

Why did dinosaurs so many large openings in its skull?
Where one sees a hole in the skull, there was often muscle in the living head, particularly in the skills of the big meat-eaters. Other holes (or "voids") may be sinuses and spaces in general served to lighten the head, fairly important if the creature has it on the end of a long, long neck. By the way, we distinquish the larger group to which dinosaurs belonged (Diapsidae) by the fact that the skulls all have two particular holes, whereas the creatures ancestral to the mammals have only one.
