The bones of the head and neck play the vital role of supporting the brain, sensory organs, nerves, and blood vessels of the head and protecting these structures from mechanical damage. Movements of these bones by the attached muscles of the head provide for facial expressions, eating, speech, and head movement. The skull consists of 22 cranial and facial bones, which, with the exception of the mandible, are tightly fused together.
