Does fetal and adult skull have the same bones?
The fetal skeleton is much softer, it has far more bones which fuse by adulthood. also the proporions are much more different, the skull of a fetus is much big in comparison to its body. obviously the fetal skeleton is much much smaller and is more fraile.as development of the facial area of a human develop, the head becomes much less round (so a fetal skeleton would have a rounder head). the face also becomes more defined and features more noticable. I hope this helps.
What is the name of the membranous area between the cranial bones of the fetal skull?
fontanellesthe membrane filled areas situated in between the bones present in the vault of the neonatal skull are called fontanelles.there are six fontanelles present at the time of birth. the two frontal bones are separated by the metopic suture.six fontanelles are :anterior fontanelle.posterior fontanelle.a pair of anterolateral fontanelles.a pair of posteriolateral fontanelles.the fontanelles help moulding of the foetal head during child birth.
What is the function of the fontanelle's in the fetal skull?
The fontanels allow the fetal skull to be compressed slightly during birth and also allow for brain growth during late fetal life.
