顱骨(skull)和頭蓋骨(cranium)的區別
顱骨和頭蓋骨是保護大腦和支撐頭部其他軟組織的兩個重要骨骼部分，但根據它們的結構可以看出它們之間的區別。頭骨和頭蓋骨的主要區別在於頭骨是一個複雜的結構，包含22塊骨頭，而頭骨是頭骨的一個分支，只有8塊骨頭。在這篇文章中，顱骨和頭蓋骨之間的進一步區別將被強調。
什麼是顱骨(skull)？
The human skull is a complex structure c***isting of 22 bones which mainly comprises cranial bones (8) and facial bones (14). The skull is located on the atlas of the vertebral column. The main cavity of the skull that encloses the brain is called cranium cavity. The other several cavities found within the skull are called sinuses that accommodate the hearing and equilibrium structures. The great architectural design of the skull reflects its many functi***. Most importantly, it provides protection for the most important organ of the nervous system; the brain. Moreover, the skull is involved in speech, breathing, vision, and hearing. Facial bones provide surfaces to muscle attachments and make passages to respiratory and digestive systems.
什麼是頭蓋骨(cranium)？
The cranium is a subdivision of the skull that c***ists of 8 bones, which enclose the brain. The eight bones include ethmoid, frontal, occipital, parietal (2), sphenoid, and temporal (2). Among these bones, parietal bones and the frontal bone are the largest. The main role of the cranium is to protect the brain. In addition, cranium provides a surface for the attachment of muscles that helps the movement of the head and supports the sense organs located in the head. The walls of cranial walls are composed of two plates. The edge of each bone is joined with an adjacent bone edge through fibrous interlocking joints called ‘sutures’. The sutures are unique to cranial bones.
什麼是頭蓋骨的區別(the difference skull and cranium)？
頭蓋骨的定義
頭骨：頭骨是指頭部骨頭的統稱。
頭蓋骨：是顱骨的骨性部分，支撐著大腦。
頭蓋骨特徵
骨骼數量
頭骨：頭骨由22塊骨頭組成。
頭蓋骨：顱骨由8塊骨頭組成，稱為顱骨。
功能
頭骨：頭骨保護大腦，提供肌肉附著的表面，並容納視覺、聽覺、言語和視覺的感覺**。
頭蓋骨：頭蓋骨主要保護大腦，為面部肌肉附著提供表面。
腔
顱骨：顱骨有顱腔和較小的鼻竇。
頭蓋骨：顱骨形成大腦所在的顱腔。
