Did You Know? Your Skull Is Made of Many Bones!
The skull may look like one helmet-shaped bone, but an adult skull is made of many connected bones.
Your Skull Is Not Just One Bone! 💀
Your skull looks like one smooth, helmet-shaped piece. But surprise: an adult skull is made of many bones fitted together!
Some skull bones protect the brain. Others help shape the face, hold the eyes, support the nose, and make room for teeth. Many of these bones connect at special joints called sutures, which fit together almost like puzzle lines.
Babies’ skull bones have soft spaces between them so the head can grow. As kids grow older, those bones connect more firmly. The body is full of clever building plans!
