Do you have bones in your head?

Yes, there are bones in the head. The human skull is composed of 22 bones, which are divided into two main groups: the cranium and the facial bones.

* The cranium is the upper part of the skull and consists of eight bones: the frontal bone, two parietal bones, two temporal bones, the occipital bone, the sphenoid bone, and the ethmoid bone. The cranium protects the brain and other vital organs in the head.

* The facial bones are the 14 bones that make up the lower part of the skull and the face. These bones include the nasal bones, maxillae, zygomatic bones, lacrimal bones, palatine bones, vomer bone, and mandible. The facial bones provide support for the eyes, nose, mouth, and other facial features.

The bones of the head are connected to each other by sutures, which are immovable joints. The sutures allow for some movement of the bones, which is necessary for growth and development.
