What is "skull"?
The skull is a complex structure that houses and safeguards the brain. Comprised of fused bones, such as the cranium and facial bones, it provides essential support to sensory organs like the eyes, nose, and ears. Acting as a sturdy shield, the skull ensures the brain's stability and protection, serving as the central command center for the body's functions.
