Bones of the Head:
The skull bones are organized into two groups called the cranial bones and the facial bones. These bones all contribute to protecting the brain, supporting the soft tissues of the face, allowing space for the organs (eyes, ears, mouth and nose), and providing the general shape of the head. The eight cranial bones include the frontal, temporal (x2), parietal (x2), occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid, and the 14 facial bones include six paired bones (nasal, lacrimal, inferior nasal concha, maxilla, palatine, and zygomatic) and the vomer and mandible.
