APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cranium. The eight bones that protect the brain are called the cranium. The front bone forms the forehead. Two parietal bones form the upper sides of the skull, while two temporal bones form the lower sides.

Detailed explanation-2: -The skull is made up of 22 bones: the cranium includes eight bones that surround and protect the brain and 14 bones that form the face. In adults, all but one of the skull bones are fused together by immovable joints called sutures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bones of the skull and three thin membranes called meninges are there to protect the brain. The brain is also cushioned and protected by cerebrospinal fluid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Periosteum: The periosteum is a tough membrane that covers and protects the outside of the bone. Compact bone: Below the periosteum, compact bone is white, hard, and smooth. It provides structural support and protection. Spongy bone: The core, inner layer of the bone is softer than compact bone.
