Detailed explanation-1: -The brain is protected by the bones of the skull and by a covering of three thin membranes called meninges. The brain is also cushioned and protected by cerebrospinal fluid. This watery fluid is produced by special cells in the four hollow spaces in the brain, called ventricles.

Detailed explanation-2: -The skull is anterior to the spinal column and is the bony structure that encases the brain. Its purpose is to protect the brain and allow attachments for the facial muscles. The two regions of the skull are the cranial and facial region.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cranium protects the brain from injury and along with the bones that protect the face are called the skull.

Detailed explanation-4: -The function of the skull is both structurally supportive and protective. The skull will harden and fuse through development to protect its inner contents: the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and orbits.

Detailed explanation-5: -The main function of the cranium is to protect the brain, which includes the cerebellum, cerebrum, and brain stem. It also gives a surface for the facial muscles to attach to.
