Question

The brain is encased within the ___, which is the large, superior part of the skull

Answer 1

The brain is encased within the cranium, which is the large, superior part of the skull.

The bone covering known as the cranium contains the brain. The skull shields the brain from harm. The skull is the collective name for the bones that guard the face and the cranium. There are 22 bones in the skull. All of the skull's other bones, excluding the mandible, are fused together. The skull's bones can be split into two primary groups:

• Cranial bones (8 bones)
• Facial skeletal bones (14 bones).

The 8 bones that form the cranium are one ethmoid, one frontal, one occipital, two parietal, one sphenoid, and two temporal.
