Explain the function of cranium.

Open in App
Solution

The function of the cranium is:-
(a) It protects and holds the brain. If we didn't have strong cranium then we'd get traumatic brain injuries.
(b) Cranial bones are held together by unique joints called sutures. The sutures don't fuse until adulthood, which allows our brain to grow continuously during childhood and adolescence.
