How is the infant skull different from the adult skull?
Infant skull has 4 fontanels (2 fontanels: anterior, posterior and 2 sutures: sphenoid, mastoid)
and fibrous membrane that holds bones together and
Allows movement of bones during birth and growth of brain
The bones of the skull are joined by what?
Sutures
What is the skullcap called?
Calvarium
What bones support teeth and form nasal cavity and orbit?
Facial bones
What does suture mean?
To join together
What are the 4 major sutures in the skull?

What are the major skull cavities?
There are 4: Cranial, Orbital, Nasal, Buccal
What are the parts of the cranial fossa?
Anterior (Frontal lobe)
Middle (Temporal lobe)
Posterior (Cerebellum and Occipital lobes)
What are the Cranial bones?
There are 14: Frontal Parietal Temporal Occipital (primary visual cortex) Sphenoid Ethmoidal Maxillary (single bone...not paired) Palatine Zygomatic Lacrimal Nasal Conchae Vomer Mandible
