It is a jigsaw puzzle of irregular bones and very specific puzzle edges that combine to form a masterpiece. It is a helmet for the brain and a scaffold for the face. Even though the bones are separated by very narrow and shallow jagged sutures, they skull is not divided by every single point of articulation, but by the areas that are created via these bony connections. The main areas of the skull loosely termed are the face and the head. Anatomically and developmentally, they are known as the Viscerocranium and the Neurocranium respectively. This article will highlight the key points of the neurocranium and elaborate on the bones and adjacent anatomical structures which surround it.
