Skull. The human skull consists of about 22 to 30 single bones which are mostly connected together by ossified joints, so called sutures. The skull is divided into the braincase (cerebral cranium) and the face (visceral cranium). Its main task is the protection of the most important organ in the human body: the brain.he 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.
