1-adult skull is fused while children's and fetus 's skull is unfused.
2-The fetus and children's skull is flexable the "fontanels are soft to help mom in
birth while adult skull is rigid and hard not flexable but it is breakable.
3-The fetus and children's skull is smaller thinner and composed of deformable bones while adult's skull is bigger thicker and not deformable usually after age 18-25.

∙ 15y agoThe skull, which is composed of the cranium and the facial bones, has more bones in a newborn, because many of the bones are not fused and contain a lot of catrilage. In an adult, many of these bones fuse together after the brain stops developing.

∙ 14y agoskull of infants have 2 opening called fontanelles and the bones of the skull are 4 plates not fused together, because the skull grows... the posterior fontanelles closed at around 6 weeks, the anterior one up to 18 months, later the plates fuse
You can noticed that the ration of a head of a child is large compared to his body compared to an adult
then after it is fused it start to get filled of crap once they know how to turn

∙ 14y agoThe fetal skull is still very flexible allowing it to pass through the birth canal easier. The adult skull is more rigid allowing better protection of the human brain. The differences between both skulls are important because they allow them to fulfill different purposes better.

∙ 11y agoThe skull to face ration is higher in a fetal skull than an adult one.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThe fetal skull is not completely fused until some time after birth. And it contains what we call 'soft spots' which allow the unfused bones to slide or overlap each other during birth.

How does fetal circulation differ from the circulation pattern after birth?
In fetal circulation, the placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, so the lungs are not used for oxygen exchange - instead, a bypass called the ductus arteriosus shunts blood away from the lungs. After birth, the lungs take over oxygen exchange, the ductus arteriosus closes, and the foramen ovale between the atria closes, redirecting blood flow through the heart to support pulmonary circulation.
