# Head & Neck The skull consists of 22 bones. The bones of the skull can be considered as two groups: those of the **cranium** *(which consist of the cranial roof and cranial base, dt. die das Gehirn umschließende Knochen des Schädeldachs)* and those of the **face** *(dt. die Knochen des Gesichts)*. The *cranial sutures* *(dt. Nähte)* are immovable joints between adjacent cranial bones. The only exception is the mandible *(dt. Unterkiefer)*. ## Bones of the Head & Neck ## Muscles of the Head & Neck <img src="https://publish-01.obsidian.md/access/f1361e98bb51b82bd2956c43ad4596c2/Attachments/Untitled-2024-07-19-1007-2.png" class="image-drawings">
