The part of the skull that incases the brain

• A. Cranium
• B. Axial
• C. Antebrachium
• D. Crural

Answer: (A)

Think about the protective housing for the brain. The bony case that encloses the brain is the cranium, which forms the cranial cavity that shelters the brain. The term cranium specifically refers to the skull portion surrounding the brain, unlike the other options: the axial skeleton is the central axis of the body (including the skull but not a single part), antebrachium is the forearm, and crural relates to the leg. So the part of the skull that encases the brain is the cranium.
