- Craniosynostosis (sometimes called craniostenosis) is a disorder in which there is early fusion of. the sutures of the skull in childhood. It produces an abnormally shaped head and, at times, appearance of the face. The deformity varies significantly depending on the suture or sutures. involved.

Summary 1 A coronal or frontal plane is perpendicular to the ground and divides the body into dorsal (posterior or back) and ventral (anterior or front) portions. 2  A transverse plane, also known as an axial plane or cross-section, divides the body into cranial (head) and caudal (tail) portions.ovement at the joint take place in a plane about an axis. There are three axis of rotation. 1  Sagital axis-passes horizontally from posterior to anterior and is formed by the intersection of the sagital and transverse planes.

- Plagiocephaly, oblique head, is a medical term or diagnosis given to a baby who has a flat spot on their head. A baby's skull is soft and can easily mold and flatten with pressure over time. Some babies have plagiocephaly, or cranial molding, secondary to their position in the womb. Babies who have a low or transverse lie are especially prone to cranial molding while in the womb.

Skull The skull is a bony structure in the head of most vertebrates (in particular, craniates) that supports the structures of the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain. The skull is composed of two parts: the cranium and the mandible.he simpler structure is found in jawless fish, in which the cranium is normally represented by a trough-like basket of cartilaginous elements only partially enclosing the brain, and associated with the capsules for the inner ears and the single nostril.

Bones of the Human Cranium and Face Back and base of the cranium, forms the back of the skull. Non-technically: Lower back of the head. The occipital condyles (rounded surfaces at the base of the occipital bone) articulate with the atlas (first vertebra of the spine), enabling movement of the head relative to the spine.

Scaphocephaly Scaphocephaly (also known as dolichocephaly) is the most common form of craniosynostosis, where premature closure of the sagittal suture results in impediment to lateral growth of the skull while anteroposterior growth continues, producing a narrow elongated skull.

The Cranial Sutures Superior view. 1  The coronal suture separates the frontal bone and the parietal bone. 2  The coronal and the sagittal sutures converge into the bregma. 3  The sagittal and lambdoid sutures are also visible from this angle.he cranial sutures are fibrous joints connecting the bones of the skull. To the unknowing individual these shallow grooves may look like fractures. In fact the intricate windy lines of these thin lines mark the adherence between the bones and the growth and closure of the cranial fontanelles.

- Thoracic vertebrae in all mammalian species are defined as those vertebrae that also carry a pair of ribs, and lie caudal to the cervical vertebrae. Further caudally follow the lumbar vertebrae, which also belong to the trunk, but do not carry ribs.he atlas (C1) and axis (C2) are the two topmost vertebrae. The atlas, C1, is the topmost vertebra, and along with the axis; forms the joint connecting the skull and spine. Its chief peculiarity is that it has no body, and this is due to the fact that the body of the atlas has fused with that of the axis.

- Description. Cephalocaudal means head to toe. As such, the cephalocaudal principle refers to the general pattern of development seen in the earliest years of postnatal development specifically ranging from infancy into toddlerhood. The cephalocaudal principle applies to both physical and functional development. Regarding the prior (i.e., physical development), physical growth in size, weight, and feature differentiation follows this pattern of development [ 1 ].

Occipital bone The occipital bone /əkˈsɪpɨtəl/ , a saucer-shaped membrane bone situated at the back and lower part of the skull, is trapezoidal in shape and curved on itself.he occipital bone is part of the endocranium, the most basal portion of the skull. In Chondrichthyes and Agnathans, the occipital do not form as a separate element, but remain part of the chondrocranium throughout life. In most higher vertebrates, the foramen magnum is surrounded by a ring of four bones.
