SECTION 7-2 The Skull

The skull

• • Consists of the cranium and the bones of the face • The cranium encloses cranial cavity • Facial bones surround and protect the entrances to the respiratory and digestive tracts Superficial landmarks include the sutures • Lambdoid • Coronal • Sagittal • Squamous Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
