What has flattened immovable endoskeleton made up of fused plates?
An exoskeleton is a flattened immovable endoskeleton made up of fused plates. This rigid structure provides support and protection for the organism, such as seen in arthropods like crabs and lobsters.
What could be the cause of indentation on the skull?
That could be anything. You could have hit your head on the ground while jumping, you could have been dropped on your head as a baby (most likely), or you could have some disease that makes your skull have an indentation.
What do plates mean in anatomy?
In anatomy, "plates" typically refer to flat, thin structures or layers that can be part of bones, tissues, or organs. For example, the term is often used in the context of cranial plates, which are the flat bones that form the skull, or in reference to growth plates in long bones, where new bone tissue is formed during development. Plates can also describe certain anatomical structures in organs, such as the plates of the liver. Overall, they play essential roles in providing structure and function within the body.
How much pressure does your brain exert on your skull?
The pressure exerted by the brain on the skull is called intracranial pressure, which typically ranges from 5 to 15 mmHg in adults. This pressure provides essential cushioning and support for the brain within the skull while maintaining proper blood flow. Any significant increase in intracranial pressure can indicate underlying health issues that may require medical attention.
Which term means abnormally increases amount of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain?
Hydrocephalus is the term that refers to an abnormally increased amount of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain. It can lead to an enlarged head in infants and cause symptoms like headaches and cognitive difficulties in adults.
What type of joint is found at the shoulder and between the skull plates?
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, allowing a wide range of motion. The joints between the skull plates are fibrous joints known as sutures, which are immovable joints that provide strength and support to the skull.
Who has more bones adults teenagers or babies?
As I know I think babies have less bone in their skull than adults.
Do children feel more pain than the adults?
YES they do because children have not fully developed into adult form yet, for example: getting hit with a ball in the head will hurt the child more than the adult cause adults have thicker skull. :D
Why does your skull have grooves on the sides?
The cranium is made up of a number of plates that fuse together whilst very young. The grooves are the intersection of these plates.
What bones do babies have that adults do not?
Babies have more bones than adults but the only way this is, is because numerous bones the babies have are not yet fused together. For example, the skull of a baby is several different bones, after a while they fuse together to form the complete skull.
Is skullcandy for kids?
Skull candy can be for kids, teenagers, or adults, but its target consumers' are teenagers.
Is your skull made up of one bone?
The separate plates of a baby's skull eventually becomes fused together as the baby grows. In an adult, the skull has become one (cranium), with a hinged jawbone attached.
Are the same skull bones present in the adult also found in the fetal skull?
Yes, the same skull bones present in adults are also found in the fetal skull, although they are not fully developed and are often separated by fontanelles (soft spots) and sutures. In fetuses, the skull bones are more flexible to allow for easier passage through the birth canal. Over time, these bones grow and fuse together to form the more rigid structure seen in adults.
Can dehydration cause skull depressions?
Yes
What are two characteristics of the fetal skeleton skull that differ from the adult skeleton?
Two characteristics of the fetal skeleton skull that differ from the adult skeleton are the presence of fontanelles (soft spots) in the fetal skull that allow for flexibility during childbirth, and the incomplete fusion of cranial bones in the fetus compared to the fully fused bones in adults.
What is the importance of the skull?
The importance of the skeleton is to support, to move and to protect.
What do the un-fused areas of the fetal skull become in the adult skull?
well the skull grows until all the plates finally mean. the area where they meet is connected by a tissue called sutures which is a non movable ligament to hold bones together
