Cranial sutures correspond to the junction sites of the different bones of the skull, remaining permeable and allowing cranial growth during the first years of life. The closure of these sutures in an abnormal and premature way represents a pathological condition that directly affects the function ...
Cranial sutures are joints made of strong, fibrous tissues that hold together the large, flat bones of the baby’s skull.2These sutures meet at the fontanels, the soft areas of the baby’s head. Cranial sutures remain flexible during infancy so that the skull can expand as the brain grows...
The skeleton provides mechanical protection for many of the body's internal organs, reducing risk of injury to them. For example, cranial bones protect the brain, vertebrae protect the spinal cord, and the ribcage protects the heart and lungs. Assisting Movement Skeletal muscles are attached to ...

Postcranial bones form part of the type series of A. ramidus, where the holotype (ARA-VP-7/2) is a set of associated permanent teeth, and two of the 16 paratypes comprise postcrania (i.e., the ARA-VP-1/4 humerus and the ARA-VP-7/2 humerus, radius, and ulna). Even though ...
Describe the common types of bone fractures. Why aren't teeth considered bone? What is the importance of calcium in the bones? What is a skin lesion? What are its types? Explain. How is bone density measured? What are the classifications of orthopedic implants? Why is the cranial bone thi...
Background: The asterion is the junction of the parietal, temporal and occipital bones. The asterion is a surgical landmark to the transverse sinus location which is of great importance in the surgical approaches to the posterior cranial fossa. The sutural morphology was classified into two types...

Spinosaurusitself had a large sail on its back. This was held up by spine-like bones, from which it got its name (Spinosaurusmeans ‘spine lizard’). The Spinosauridae family was named afterSpinosaurus, but not all members of the family have a similar sail. ...
Damage to the seventh cranial nerve may occur if undue pressure is placed on the infant’s face during passage through the birth canal. Causes of facial nerve palsy include: Improper use of instruments, such as forceps, during the delivery ...
