How many individual bones does the human skull consist of?

The human skull is subdivided into facial bones and cranial bones.
The cranial bones protect and house the brain, as well as the structures of the middle and inner ears.
The facial bones protect and support the underlying facial structures and enclose the eyeballs.
The individual bones of the skull are mostly connected to each other by ossified joints called sutures.
