High Five Facts - Skull

The video presents five fascinating facts about the human skull. It explains that the skull is composed of 22 bones, with the cranium protecting the brain and the face bones shaping facial features. In babies, skull bones are not fully fused, allowing for growth and development. The mandible is the only movable skull bone, crucial for chewing and speaking. The skull has openings called foramina for nerves and blood vessels. As we age, the skull undergoes remodeling, changing shape to accommodate growth and aging.
