✓
Answer
The skull is made up of $22$ bones. Out of these $22$ bones $8$ bones make the head and $14$ bones make the face. The $8$ bones that make the head are joined together by fixed joints and cannot move with respect to each other. The main function of these bones is to protect the brain. The $14$ bones making the face are also fixed except the lower jaw that can move. Cavities for organs like ears, nose and eyes are present in the facial bones.
