skull

The Spanish word 'cráneo' translates to 'skull' in English. This term is usually used in a biological or medical context to refer to the structure of the head that encloses the brain and supports the structures of the face. It is composed of several bones, including the cranium (upper part) and the facial bones. These bones are often studied in both human and animal anatomy. Understanding the term 'cráneo' could be useful if you're taking a biology class in Spanish, or if you'll be visiting a doctor or hospital in a Spanish-speaking country.
