Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'calvaria': In anatomy, the calvaria refers to the upper part of the skull that encloses the brain, excluding the facial bones.
Identify the components of the skull: The skull is divided into several parts, including the cranial base, cranial cavity, anterior cranial fossa, and cranial vault.
Define 'cranial vault': The cranial vault is the dome-like superior portion of the skull that encases the brain, also known as the calvaria.
Differentiate between the options: The cranial base forms the bottom of the skull, the cranial cavity is the space within the skull, and the anterior cranial fossa is a specific depression in the cranial base.
Conclude that the calvaria is synonymous with the cranial vault, as it refers to the upper part of the skull that protects the brain.
