APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cranium is located at the top of the head and is somewhat spherical in shape, like the shape of a baseball cap. It connects to the facial skeleton. Though the skull appears to be one big piece of bone from the outside, it is actually made up of eight cranial bones and 14 facial bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bones that form the head. The cranium is made up of cranial bones (bones that surround and protect the brain) and facial bones (bones that form the eye sockets, nose, cheeks, jaw, and other parts of the face). An opening at the base of the cranium is where the spinal cord connects to the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cranium is the head’s skeletal framework and supports the face’s structure. It protects our brain from external injury. The cranial nerves emanate from the cranium through openings in the cranial bones. These nerves are necessary for daily activities like seeing, smelling, and eating.
