Abstract
The skull can be divided into two portions: neural and facial. The neural skull is made up of 6 bones: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid and ethmoid. The facial skull comprises 8 different bones. In this chapter, they will be briefly described. Synthetic descriptions of sutures between them and of the skull base foramina will follow.
