Skeletal system

• The skull is a bony structure that is located at the top of the backbone
• It is the body's natural crash helmet and surrounds the brain and sensory organs(the eyes,ears,nose),protecting them from damage
• It appears to be a single bone,the skull is in fact formed from 22 separate parts
• The mandible is the only movable bone in the skull
• The dome-shaped section of the skull is known as the cranial vault and is made up of 8 bones,while the remaining 14 are the facial bones
