The correct Answer is:
To determine which cranial bones are unpaired, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Cranial Bones**: Cranial bones are the bones that form the skull, protecting the brain and supporting the structures of the face. 2. **List the Cranial Bones**: The main cranial bones include: - Frontal - Parietal (2) - Temporal (2) - Occipital - Sphenoid - Ethmoid 3. **Identify Paired vs. Unpaired Bones**: - **Paired Bones**: Parietal (2) and Temporal (2) bones are paired, meaning there are two of each. - **Unpaired Bones**: The bones that are unpaired are those that only have one of each in the skull. These include: - Frontal (1) - Occipital (1) - Sphenoid (1) - Ethmoid (1) 4. **Conclusion**: From the list, the unpaired cranial bones are: - Frontal - Occipital - Sphenoid - Ethmoid 5. **Final Answer**: The unpaired cranial bones are Frontal and Occipital.
