In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the bones of the skull – their orientation, articulations, and clinical relevance. The cranium (also known as the neurocranium) is formed by the superior aspect of the skull. It encloses and protects the brain, meninges, and cerebral vasculature.

We are now going to discuss the anatomy and important features of each cranial bone in the order of the mnemonic.
