Calvaria or brain

box• Rest of the

skull, includes mandible

Facial skeleton

Skull joints

Most of the skull joints are immovable and fibrous in type, known as sutures.

Also few are primary cartilaginous joints.

Anatomical position of skull

Methods of study of skull Exterior of skull:

• Superior view- norma verticalis• Posterior view- norma occipitalis• Anterior view- norma frontalis• Lateral view- norma lateralis• Inferior view- norma basalis

Exterior of the skull Norma verticalis- top view

Norma occipitalis- back view

Norma frontalis- front view

Norma lateralis- side view

Norma basalis- base view
