If certain bones of the skull grow too fast then premature fusion of the sutures, craniosynostosis, may occur. [1] This can result in skull deformities. [ 1 ] These deformities include: [ 3 ]
The sagittal suture 'divides' the coronal suture in two halves; unilateral meaning that either the right side or the left side to the sagittal suture is fused. This fact immediately raises an important point. Unlike closure of the sagittal or the metopic suture, right and left are not the same in unilateral coronal synostosis.
A suture is a type of fibrous joint that is only found in the skull (cranial suture). The bones are bound together by Sharpey's fibres . A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull.
In 2012, the head of AP Grading, Trevor Packer, stated that the reason for the low percentages of 5s is that "AP World History is a college-level course, & many sophomores aren't yet writing at that level." 10.44 percent of all seniors who took the exam in 2012 received a 5, while just 6.62 percent of sophomores received a 5.

Craniosynostosis occurs, in which the cranial sutures close too soon, though the child's brain is still growing and expanding. [8] Brachycephaly is the common pattern of growth, where the coronal sutures close prematurely, preventing the skull from expanding frontward or backward and causing the brain to expand the skull to the sides and ...
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. In cleidocranial dysostosis, however, it is often late in closing at 8–24 months or may never close. Examination of an infant includes palpating the anterior ...
Cephalometric analysis is the clinical application of cephalometry.It is analysis of the dental and skeletal relationships of a human skull. [1] It is frequently used by dentists, orthodontists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons as a treatment planning tool. [2]
