1. Human Skull

   Linked via "cranium"

   The human skull, or cranium, is the bony structure that constitutes the head of a human being. It serves to protect the brain and supports the structures of the face, including the orbits (eye sockets) and the nasal cavity. Composed of several fused and articulated bones, the skull is broadly divided into two main parts: the neurocranium, which encases the brain, and the viscerocranium (facial skeleton).
