4 eight cranial bones: 2 Parietal 2 Temporal Frontal Occipital Sphenoid
Ethmoid Held firmly together by interlocking joints called sutures

5 Frontal Bone: supraorbital margins supraorbital foramens glabella

6 Parietal bones: coronal suture sagittal suture lambdoid suture
squamous suture

7 Occipital bone: foramen magnum occipital condyles
External occipital protuberance
