Question

Which of the following is a bony cover box in the skull that protects the brain?

• A. Hindbrain
• B. Midbrain
• C. Cranium
• D. Forebrain

Answer 1

The correct option is C Cranium

The bony structure in the head of most vertebrates (in particular, craniates) that supports the structures of the face is called the skull. It forms a protective cavity for the brain. The cranium and the mandible are the two parts of the skull. The skull forms the anterior-most portion of the skeleton and is a product of encephalization, housing the brain, many sensory structures (eyes, ears, nasal cavity) and the feeding system.

So, the correct answer is 'C'.
