In open circulatory system, the blood (i.e. hemolymph) bathes the organs and tissues directly. Examples of animals with open circulatory system are arthropods and most mollusks. In closed circulatory system, the blood circulates within blood vessels throughout the body. Therefore, there is a distinction between blood and lymph. Examples of animals with closed circulatory system are annelids, few mollusks, and vertebrates.
The skull base is the caudal boundary of the cerebral cranium. Looking at it from the inside it can be subdivided into the anterior, middle and posterior cranial fossae. The skull base comprises parts of the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, occipital and temporal bones. The face is referred to as all skull bones fronto-caudally connected to the cerebral cranium. Prominent representatives are the maxilla (upper jaw) and the mandible (lower jaw).
Your brain fills the upper part of your bony head, which is called the skull. The top part of the skull, called the cranium, is made of 8 bones. The rest of your skull includes 14 bones in the face and 3 small bones in each ear.
