The cranium is the upper part of the skull, and it houses the brain. It is made up of eight bones: the frontal bone, the parietal bones, the occipital bone, the temporal bones, the sphenoid bone, and the ethmoid bone.
The face is the lower part of the skull, and it contains the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. It is made up of 14 bones: the maxillae, the zygomatic bones, the nasal bones, the lacrimal bones, the palatine bones, the inferior nasal conchae, the vomer, the mandible, and the hyoid bone.
The Neck
The neck is a muscular structure that connects the head to the body. It is made up of seven cervical vertebrae, which are stacked one on top of the other. The neck also contains the spinal cord, the trachea, the esophagus, and the carotid arteries.
The Face
The face is the most visible part of the body, and it is responsible for our sense of sight, smell, taste, and hearing. It is made up of the skin, muscles, bones, and nerves.
The skin of the face is thin and delicate, and it is covered in hair. The muscles of the face are responsible for our facial expressions. The bones of the face are thin and lightweight, and they are covered in cartilage. The nerves of the face are responsible for our sense of touch, pain, and temperature.
Clinical Applications
The anatomy of the head and neck is important for a variety of medical procedures. For example, a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the skull is essential for neurosurgeons, who perform surgery on the brain and spinal cord. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the neck is essential for otolaryngologists, who perform surgery on the ears, nose, and throat. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the face is essential for plastic surgeons, who perform surgery on the face and neck.
The Oxford Handbook of Head and Neck Anatomy is a comprehensive guide to the human skull, neck, and face. It is an essential resource for students, doctors, and other medical professionals. The book is well-written and well-illustrated, and it provides a thorough overview of the anatomy of the head and neck.
