The cranial cavity is completely encased by bone to protect the brain from injury and external forces. This bony structure provides a rigid barrier that shields the delicate neural tissues from trauma, infection, and other potential threats. Additionally, the skull helps maintain the shape of the head and supports the facial structure, while also housing and protecting the sensory organs. Overall, the bony encasement is crucial for both protection and structural integrity.

Cavity surrounded by the hip bone?
The cavity surrounded by the hip bone is called the acetabulum. It is a socket-like structure where the head of the femur (thigh bone) articulates with the pelvis to form the hip joint. The acetabulum plays a crucial role in stabilizing the hip joint and allowing for a wide range of motion.
What part of bones are the greater and lesser wings?
The greater wing is part of the sphenoid bone in the skull, forming a portion of the side of the skull and the floor of the cranial cavity. The lesser wing is also part of the sphenoid bone, located above the greater wing and forming a portion of the anterior cranial fossa.
