Detailed explanation-1: -The 22 bones that constitute the skull, or the cranium, can be divided into 14 facial bones and 8 cranial bones. The primary function of the skull bones and meninges surrounding them is to give structure and protection. The skull protects the eye orbits and the brain (cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem).

Detailed explanation-2: -In humans these sensory structures are part of the facial skeleton. Functions of the skull include protection of the brain, fixing the distance between the eyes to allow stereoscopic vision, and fixing the position of the ears to enable sound localisation of the direction and distance of sounds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main function of the skull is to support and protect the cavity of the brain. The skull forms the facial skeleton and its part.-Cranium is responsible for forming anterior-most section of the skeleton and also forms the various sensory organs which come under parts of the facial bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -The function of the skull is to protect the brain and its inner contents and support them. It also fixes the position of ear and the distance between the eyes. Thus helps in sound localisation and stereoscopic vision in humans.

Detailed explanation-5: -All the various skull bone parts come together to serve two major purposes. First, the skull surrounds and protects the brain, brainstem, and eyes. In addition, the skull provides the structure for the muscles, blood vessels, and connective tissue that make up the face and scalp.
