Human: The head in vertebrates forms from a bony structure known as the skull. It serves to support the face's various structures and shields a protective cavity for the brain within its walls. Composed of two distinct sections, the cranium and mandible are found together forming the skull in humans, while it breaks down into neurocranium and viscerocranium or facial skeleton that comprises the mandible as its biggest bone. The anterior portion of the skeleton takes shape around the skull housing the brain and several sensory components including eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. These sensory components are included in the human's facial skeleton. Protecting the brain, holding eye distances constant for stereoscopic vision to occur, and securing ear positions to facilitate sound localization remain some primary functions of the skull among animals and humans alike. Horned ungulates make use of a defensive capability that provides a mount (on the frontal bone) for horns due to the structure's positioning in these creatures. The term 'skull' may derive from Old Norse words skulle while 'cranium', stemming from Latin, draws roots from Greek's kranion. This bony structure holds together many fused flat bones as well as includes several cavities or sinuses that also contain a multitude of foramina, fossae, processes and in the animal kingdom referred to zoologists are found within the skull openings named fenestrae.
