In humans, the head, located in the upper part of the body, contains important structures
such as the brain, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, chin, and related soft tissues. The human head …

The processes of sutures and synchondroses formation, interdigitation and closure set the
normal skull growth. Sutures and synchondroses represent growth sites in normal skull …

Sutures are fibrous joints in the vertebrate skull. They consist of two bone ends and
intervening fibrous tissue which differentiates from embryonic mesenchyme. Sutures are not …

The human cranium is comprised of calvarial, facial, and basal sutures, the majority of which
are paired [1]. Sutures are made up of fibrous connective tissues that allow for flexibility and …

This book provides an in-depth review of the sutures of the skull. The premature closure of
the sutures of the skull (craniosynostosis) due to genetic or metabolic etiologies results in …

The human skull is composed of numerous sutures, including those of the face, basal skull,
and calvarium. These sutures are an important part of the human skull, allowing growth …

Current knowledge of suture biology has been ascertained as a result of morphological
studies of normal cranial sutures (and rarely those undergoing craniosynostosis). These …

Cephalic development involves exceedingly complex morphogenetic mechanisms built on
conserved elements that have undergone enor-mous evolutionary change." Precisely …

The sutures of the skull are fibrous joints which accommodate for skull growth throughout
development. Complex and coordinated cellular processes regulate their fusion over time …

Despite great advances in clinical imaging of the human body, clinical determination of
consistent surface landmarks for surgical approaches to the cranial cavity is still essential …
