The mandible articulates with the skull at the temporomandibular joint. Auditory ossicles are located within the skull and are involved in hearing. The vomer is a bone of the skull that forms part of the nasal septum. The hyoid bone is unique as it does not directly articulate with the skull and serves as an attachment site for muscles related to the larynx, pharynx, and tongue.
