skull
The skull is the bony skeletal of the head.
It shield the brain ,the organ of special
sense and the cranial part of the
respiratory and digestive system and
providing attachments for many of the
muscles of the head and neck.
Composed of 28 bones
Skull is divided in to 2 main parts
– Calvaria (brain box)
– Fascial skeleton (rest of skull including
mandible)
Cranium
• Skull without mandible is called cranium
it is divided into
– Neurocranium or cranial vault
• Enclosing brain ,meninges, csf
• CORONAL SUTURE
• SAGITAL SUTURE
• LAMBDOID SUTURE
• BREGMA
• LAMBDA

Frontal bone
• Half a shallow
irregular cap
forming forehead
• It has
– 3 parts
• Squamous (Main part)
• Nasal
• Orbital
• Zygomatic process
– 2 cavities
• Frontal sinus
Ossification
• It ossified in fibrous mesenchyme from 2
primary centers
• Appear in 8th wk in utero near each frontal
tuber
• Secondary center for nasal spine appear
about 10th year
• At birth it has 2 halves
• Median suture disappears at about 8th year
• May persist as Metopic suture

of coronal suture
on one side.
