Detailed Notes on Skull Anatomy

Anatomy of the Skull

Structure of the Skull

• The skull consists of several layers:

  • Outer Table: The outermost layer of the skull, which is dense and provides protection.

  • Inner Table: The inner layer of the skull, which lies adjacent to the brain and is also dense.

  • Diplo: The spongy bone located between the outer and inner tables. This layer acts as a cushion.
