The human head contains 22 bones, consisting the cranium and the facial
bones. The cranium is formed by 8 bones: the frontal bone, two parietal
bones, two temporal bones, the occipital bone in the back, the ethmoid
bone behind the nose, and the sphenoid bone. The face consists of 14
bones including the maxilla (upper jaw)
and mandible (lower jaw). (The
skull has many little holes in its base which allow the cranial nerves
to travel to their destinations.)
