1. The Skull

2. The most complex bony structure of the skeleton is divided into two regions
The cranium:
-encloses and protects the brain
-provides attachment sites for head and
neck muscles
The facial bones:
-numerous functions including cavities for
special sense organs of sight, smell and
taste.
