What is "middle cranial fossa"?

The middle cranial fossa, part of the cranial cavity, is a curved bony structure that accommodates important structures of the brain. It provides a protective space for the temporal lobes, the sella turcica (housing the pituitary gland), and various blood vessels. The middle cranial fossa plays a crucial role in supporting and safeguarding these vital components of the central nervous system, contributing to overall brain function and stability.
