The tutorial explains the significance of each structure, including the frontal, zygomatic, maxilla, parietal, temporal, sphenoid, mandible, and occipital bones. It also details the coronal, squamous, lambdoid, and sagittal sutures, as well as the pterion. The cranial fossae are described, highlighting the anterior, middle, and posterior sections.
