The skull is a bony structure found in the head of many animals. The skull supports the structures of the face and protects the head against injury.
The skull can be divided into two parts: the cranium and the mandible. A skull that is missing a mandible is only a cranium; this is the source of a very commonly made error in terminology. Those animals having skulls are called craniates.
The cranium is formed of the brain box and the fascial skeleton.
