Depending on the strength of the skull itself, and the density of the bone itself. If you're looking for something that is blunt force, it would require a well tuned striking motion to actually make a hole. However if you are looking for something like a drill, just the same pressure you use to brush your teeth, the machine will do the rest. Sharp objects would require about the same pressure as a punch however. You need to be careful for damaging the brain too much however, the pressure release to the brain itself wont truly do long term damage, but if you hit the brain itself, that's where the damage comes in. Not sure what you're looking to gain from this knowledge, but there it is.

What are two characteristics of the fetal skeleton skull that differ from the adult skeleton?

The first is the fetal skull, which is much more malleable than an adult human skull, secondly it is much, much smaller than an adults'.


How much force is needed to puncture average human skin?

It depends on the size of the point of the instrument doing the puncturing (i.e. a needle takes only a little force, but a bullet takes quite a bit). What you really need is how much pressure does it take to puncture skin. I don't believe there is a tested exact amount of pressure required to pierce human skin. One theoretical number taken from the paper linked below is: (3.183 x10^6 Pa)this is bull **** the femur can't take that much its is really 20000Pa 461.7 PSI (Pounds per square inch) http://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/DLAbsToc.jsp?resourcePath=/dl/proceedings/&toc=comp/proceedings/icmens/2003/1947/00/1947toc.xml&DOI=10.1109/ICMENS.2003.1221960


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.


How do you fix a fractured skull?

Skull fractures take a few months to heal. When fracturing the skull the healing process takes a lot longer than any other fracture, like a fracture in the wrist or foot. Because of how much was damage and depending on the area of the fracture and the extent of the damage, the healing process could take up to a year, and in some cases even longer. Once you fracture your skull the healing process also includes the healing of the brain itself. You can't just fracture the skull and get on with your life. Depending on the force that fractured your skull you can end up with memory loss, brain damage, and other nerve problems.


What bone provides support for the body?

pretty much all of them. tibia/fibia for your legs, spine for your back, skull for your head, etc.
