The Skeleton
The Cranial Vault consists of the eight bones that encase and protect the
brain: the parietal, temporal, frontal, occipital, spheniod, and ethmoid
bones.
The brain connects to the spinal cord through a large opening at the base
of the skull called the foramen magnum.

The nervous system is composed of specialized tissue that conducts electrical impulses
between the brain and the rest of the body.
Neural tissue contains two basic types of cells: Nerve cells, which are known as neurons and
contain projections called axons and dendrites that make connections between adjacent
cells, and neuroglia, which are supporting cells that have four basic funtions.
The Neuroglia
Twelve pairs of
cranial
nerves
arise from the
base
of
the
brain. All but
two pairs, the
olfactory nerves
and the optic
nerves, exit from
the brain stem.
