Explanation:
Cranium
The cranium (also known as the neurocranium), is formed by the superior aspect of the skull. It encloses and protects the brain, meninges and cerebral vasculature.
Anatomically, the cranium can be subdivided into a roof (known as the calvarium), and a base:
Calvarium: Comprised of the frontal, occipital and two parietal bones.
Cranial base: Comprised of six bones – the frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, occipital, parietal and temporal bones. These bones are important as they provide an articulation point for the 1st cervical vertebra (atlas), as well as the facial bones and the mandible (jawbone).
