The cranial cavity or intracranial space is the space formed inside the skull. The brain occupies the cranial cavity which is lined by the meninges and which contains cerebrospinal fluid to cushion blows.Eight fused cranial bones together form the cranial cavity: the frontal occipital sphenoid and ethmoid bones and two each of the parietal and temporal bones.The capacity of an adult human cranial cavity is 1200-1700 cm3.
