Cranium

The cranium is the part of your skull that encloses and protects your brain. It consists of several bones that are fused together, forming a sturdy structure. The cranium supports the face and provides attachment points for muscles involved in expression and head movement. It also has openings called foramina for nerves, blood vessels, and the spinal cord to pass through. Essentially, the cranium acts as a protective casing for the brain, shielding it from injury while allowing for necessary connections and support for sensory and motor functions.
