Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/skull1) to view a rotating and exploded skull with color-coded bones. Which bone (yellow) is centrally located and joins with most of the other bones of the skull?

To write:
The bone which located centrally and joins with most of the bones in the skull.
Introduction:
The skull is the bony structure, which surrounds the brain and form the bony structure of the face. The main function of the skull is to protect the brain and provides a bony support to the face. The skull is made of 22 bones fused together.
Explanation of Solution
The sphenoid bone is present in the middle of the skull. It located on the front side. The sphenoid bone has a shape like a butterfly or a bat. It articulates with frontal, ethmoid, parietal, zygomatic, temporal, vomer, palatine and the occipital bones. It helps in connecting the neurocranium to the skeleton of the face. It is the bone, which articulates with most of the bones of the skull.
The bone which is centrally located and joined with most of the other bones of skull is the sphenoid bone.
