This PDF is about the bones and joints of the skull. It explains all the major bones that form the braincase and the face, along with how they connect through sutures, cartilage joints, and the movable jaw joint (TMJ). You’ll also find pages about how the skull develops, the soft spots in newborns (fontanelles), and how the bones change as we grow. Each bone is shown with clear names, surfaces, and features, and there are notes on how these structures relate to common injuries or conditions like fractures or TMJ problems. The content is made for medical students and doctors who want clear and detailed skull anatomy.
