Development Of Skull Development Of Human Skeletal System Fetal head (12 weeks) showing cartilage (blue) and bone (red) the skull is a unique skeletal structure in several ways: embryonic cellular origin (neural crest and mesoderm), form of ossification (intramembranous and ) and flexibility (fibrous sutures). the cranial vault (which encloses the brain) bones are formed by intramembranous ossification. The skull is the most complex arrangement of bones within the body. it protects the central nervous system, the oral cavity and nasal cavity, the ears and the eyes within its inner, outer and directly related structures. without this protective helmet, we humans would be ‘sitting ducks’, as the old phrase goes.

Embryology Glossary Skull Development Ditki Medical Biological The anterior skull consists of the facial bones and provides the bony support for the eyes, teeth and structures of the face and provides openings for eating and breathing. this view of the skull is dominated by the openings of the orbits and the nasal cavity. also seen are the upper and lower jaws, with their respective teeth (figure 7.3.2). The skull is a bone protective cavity for the brain. [1] the skull is composed of three types of bone: cranial bones, facial bones, and ear ossicles. two parts are more prominent: the cranium (pl.: craniums or crania) and the mandible. [2] in humans, these two parts are the neurocranium (braincase) and the viscerocranium (facial skeleton) that. The central nervous system (cns) is composed of the brain and spinal cord. the brain interprets information received by the spinal cord and generates its own signals and instructions for the body to carry out. the spinal cord transmits information from the brain to the body, and vice versa. the peripheral nervous system (pns) consists of all. The ventricular system has a number of important functions including cushioning and protection of the brain, removal of waste material, and transport of hormones and other substances (brodal 2010). during brain development the walls of the ventricles are the site of most neuron production.
