The<unk>  is a bone structure that forms the head in vertebrates. It supports the structures of the face and provides a protective cavity for the brain. The<unk>  is composed of two parts: the cranium and the mandible. In humans, these two parts are the neurocranium and the viscerocranium (facial skeleton) that includes the mandible as its largest bone. The<unk>  forms the anterior-most portion of the skeleton and is a product of cephalisation—housing the brain, and several sensory structures such as the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. In humans these sensory structures are part of the facial skeleton. Functions of the<unk>  include protection of the brain, fixing the distance between the eyes to allow stereoscopic vision, and fixing the position of the ears to enable sound localisation of the direction and distance of sounds. In some animals, such as horned ungulates (mammals with hooves), the<unk>  also has a defensive function by providing the mount (on the frontal bone) for the horns. The English word<unk>  is probably derived from Old Norse , while the Latin word comes from the Greek root (). The human<unk>  fully develops two years after birth.The junctions of the<unk>  bones are joined together by structures called sutures. The<unk>  is made up of a number of fused flat bones, and contains many foramina, fossae, processes, and several cavities or sinuses. In zoology there are openings in the<unk>  called fenestrae.
