  2. Calvaria (skull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvaria_(skull)

    The inner surface of the skull-cap is concave and presents depressions for the convolutions of the cerebrum, together with numerous furrows for the lodgement of branches of the meningeal vessels. Along the middle line is a longitudinal groove, narrow in front, where it commences at the frontal crest, but broader behind; it lodges the superior ...

  3. Concave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concave_function

    The sum of two concave functions is itself concave and so is the pointwise minimum of two concave functions, i.e. the set of concave functions on a given domain form a semifield. Near a strict local maximum in the interior of the domain of a function, the function must be concave; as a partial converse, if the derivative of a strictly concave ...

  4. Convex cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cap

    The definition of a cap can also be extended to define a cap of a point where the cap can be defined as the intersection of a convex set with a half-space containing . The minimal cap of a point is a cap of x {\displaystyle x} with vol ⁡ ( C ( x ) ) = min ⁡ { vol ⁡ ( K ∩ H ) : x ∈ H } {\displaystyle \operatorname {vol} (C(x ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurocranium

    In human anatomy, the neurocranium, also known as the braincase, brainpan, or brain-pan, [1] [2] is the upper and back part of the skull, which forms a protective case around the brain. [3] In the human skull, the neurocranium includes the calvaria or skullcap. The remainder of the skull is the facial skeleton.

    The cranial cavity, also known as intracranial space, is the space within the skull that accommodates the brain.The skull is also known as the cranium. [1] The cranial cavity is formed by eight cranial bones known as the neurocranium that in humans includes the skull cap and forms the protective case around the brain.

  8. Occipital bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_bone

    The superior angle of the occipital bone articulates with the occipital angles of the parietal bones and, in the fetal skull, corresponds in position with the posterior fontanelle. The lateral angles are situated at the extremities of the groove for the transverse sinuses : each is received into the interval between the mastoid angle of the ...

  9. Convex body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_body

    A dodecahedron is a convex body.. In mathematics, a convex body in -dimensional Euclidean space is a compact convex set with non-empty interior.Some authors do not require a non-empty interior, merely that the set is non-empty.
