This document provides an overview of surface anatomy and the human skull. It defines surface anatomy as the study of external body features and notes that specific anatomical features include the head, ears, nose, mouth, and limbs. It then describes how the skeleton is composed of an endoskeleton for humans and defines the main parts of the human skeleton, including the axial and appendicular regions. Finally, it provides details on the parts of the human skull, listing the cranium, mandible, frontal bone, and other bones that make up the skull.
