Support the eyes and position them anteriorly. Also provide attachment sites for facial muscles which make it possible for us to present our feelings to the world.
How are the bones of the skull joined?
By interlocking joints called sutures - other than the mandible, or lower jawbone, which is attached to the rest of the skull by a freely movable joint.
What are the two major areas of study for the cranium?
Calvaria - forming the superior, lateral, and posterior walls of the skull.
Cranial base - forming the skull bottom.
What are the three distinc concavities of the crainal base?
Anterior, middle nad posterior cranial fossae.
