      Hello there,

      Counting bones in our skull can be tricky because it does look like there is only 1 isn’t it?? Also there appears to be some disagreement among scientists as to how exactly we should count them but in general there are 22 bones.
      Nasal bones and jaw bones are easy to distinguish, the rest are pieces of bones which construct our brain cavity 🙂
