∙ 8y agoAccording to the Gray's Anatomy textbook, there are 22 bones in the human skull. This answer can vary based on the source and whether it claims ear bones as part of the skull structure.
Eight bones form the neurocranium (braincase) - including the frontal, parietals, occipital bone, sphenoid, temporals and ethmoid - a protective vault surrounding the brain. Fourteen bones form the splanchnocranium, the bones supporting the face.
Encased within the temporal bones are the six ear ossicles of the middle ears, though these are not part of the skull. The hyoid bone, supporting the tongue, is usually not considered as part of the skull either, as it does not articulate with any other bones.
The 22 bones comprise the following:
Occipital
Two parietal
Frontal
Two temporal
Sphenoid
Ethmoid
Two nasal
Two superior maxillary
Two lachrymal
Two malar
Two palate
Two inferior turbinated
Vomer
Inferior maxillary
