The bones are presented in the categories of cranial and facial bones, and their key structures are identified. The relationships and sites of articulations are discussed, including the composition of the zygomatic arch. The sutures of the skull, cranial fossa, and foramina of the cranial base are also identified. The questions accompanying this video will help to lead students to a careful study of the skull.
