  2. Fontanelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fontanelle

    Anterior fontanelle is a diamond-shaped membrane-filled space located between the two frontal and two parietal bones of the developing fetal skull. It persists until approximately 18 months after birth. It is at the junction of the coronal suture and sagittal suture. The fetal anterior fontanelle may be palpated until 18 months.

  3. Anterior fontanelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_fontanelle

    The anterior fontanelle (bregmatic fontanelle, frontal fontanelle) is the largest fontanelle, and is placed at the junction of the sagittal suture, coronal suture, and frontal suture; it is lozenge-shaped, and measures about 4 cm in its antero-posterior and 2.5 cm in its transverse diameter. The fontanelle allows the skull to deform during ...

  4. Bregma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bregma

    Cranial height is defined as the distance between the bregma and the midpoint of the foramen magnum (the basion). [6] This is strongly linked to more general growth. [6] This can be used to assess the general health of a deceased person as part of an archaeological excavation, giving information on the health of a population.

  6. Parietal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_bone

    The frontal angle is practically a right angle, and corresponds with the point of meeting of the sagittal and coronal sutures; this point is named the bregma; in the fetal skull and for about a year and a half after birth this region is membranous, and is called the anterior fontanelle.

  7. Fetal head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_head

    The greater, or anterior fontanel, is a lozenge-shaped space that is situated at the junction of the sagittal and the coronal sutures. The lesser, or posterior fontanel, is represented by a small triangular area at the intersection of the sagittal and lambdoid sutures. The localization of these fontanels gives important information concerning ...
