THE SKULL

1 he skeleton of the head, like the cube, has six surfaces: top, base, two sides
or cheeks, front and back. Its bony framework is immovable, except the
lower jaw, which articulates.

There are twenty-two bones in the head. Eight of these bones compose
the brain case and fourteen bones compose the face. The brain case is
bounded in front by the frontal bone or forehead, which extends from the
root of the nose to the crown of the head and laterally to the sides of the
temples. The two malar bones, or cheek bones, are facial bones, each united
to four other bones forming a part of the zygomatic arch which spans the
space from cheek to ear. Above, the malar or cheek bone joins the forehead
at its outer angle; below, it joins the superior maxillary or upper jawbones.
The two superior maxillary bones constitute the upper jaw and cylinder that
hold the upper row of teeth. They are attached above to the cheek bones and
eye cavities. The nasal bones form the bridge of the nose.
