The human skull consists of 22 bones (or 29, including the inner ear bones and hyoid bone) that are mostly connected together by fibrous joints, so-called sutures. The two main parts of the skull are the braincase (neurocranium) and the facial skeleton (viscerocranium). Its primary func...
Main bones Axial skeleton: bones of the skull, ribs, vertebral column, sternum, sacrum, coccyx, hyoid bone and auditory ossicles. Appendicular skeleton: bones of the upper and lower limbs and the shoulder and pelvic girdles Main joints Skull sutures, temporomandibular, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hi...
The bones of the skull, with one pair of exceptions, are joined together by immovable fibrous joints called sutures. (See Fig. 6-7 and 6-8.) The exceptions are the jaw joints, the movable synovial joints between the mandible and the2 temporal bones. What are the sutures? Suture: 1.A ...
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate specific characteristics of these bones, while some general features of the skull follow: Sutures are immovable interlocking joints that join skull bones together. Fontanels are spaces between cranial bones that are filled with fibrous membranes. The spaces provide pliability...

In older patients, the hands characteristically show progressive osteolysis of the distal phalanges, which appear small and fragmented. The characteristic findings in the skull are wide sutures and Wormian bones, and in the face, a small mandible with an obtuse mandibular angle. View chapterExplore...
The bones are connected together by the fibrous, cartilaginous or osseous tissues.B. Classification of articulation 2 main types: synarthroses and diarthroses. 1. Synarthroses (immovable articulation) 19、 They only have a little or no movement. a) fibrous joints:sutures, syndesmoses) b) ...
When we are born, the bones in our skull are not quite fused together, allowing for a smooth delivery into the world via the vaginal canal. As a child grows and develops, the bones of their skull fuse together, and the place where two bones fuse is called a suture. Skulls contain ...
Wormian bones go by many names including accessory bones of the skull, intrasutural bones or sutural bones. Wormian bones of the skull are formed from additional and separate centres of ossification of the cranium, located near or in the cranial sutures that lead to extra isolated bone segments...
