Viscerocranium

This tutorial by Matt from Kenhub covers the viscerocranium, a key part of the skull, detailing its components such as the nasal bones, maxilla, zygomatic bone, mandible, lacrimal bone, ethmoid bone, and sphenoid bone. Each bone's location, function, and relation to other skull parts are explained, emphasizing their roles in facial structure, mastication, and eye socket support. The video encourages interactive learning through Kenhub's resources.
