Name the bones of the skull.

Explanation

The skull is composed of two sets of bones -cranial and facial bones. It consists of 22 bones of which 8 are cranial bones and 14 are facial bones. The cranial bones are joined by sutures which are immovable.
They are paired parietal, paired temporal and individual bones such as the frontal, sphenoid, occipital and ethmoid. In the facial bones maxilla, zygomatic, palatine, lacrimal, nasal are paired bones whereas mandible or lower jaw and vomer are unpaired bones. They form the front part of the skull. A single U-Shaped hyoid bone is present at the base of the buccal cavity. It is the only one bone without any joint. Each middle ear contains three tiny bones, malleus, incus, and stapes collectively are called ear ossicles. The upper jaw is formed of the maxilla and the lower jaw is formed of the mandible.
