Özet
In humans, the head, located in the upper part of the body, contains important structures such as the brain, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, chin, and related soft tissues. The human head can adopt many different shapes and types. Although many of these shapes are considered normal, some are deemed abnormal. Normal or abnormal anatomical shapes are results of the development of the head bones and sutures. Sutures are fibrous joints in the vertebrate skull. Unlike embryonal mesenchyme, they consist of two bone ends and intervening fibrous tissue. Sutures are not only joints between the bones, they are also the primary regions of osteogenesis and sites of proliferation and differentiation of osteoprogenitors. The cranial bones that make the sutures are usually of intramembranous origin. An exception to this generalization, the frontoethmoidal suture, is formed at the junction between an intramembranous bone and an endochondral bone. This chapter gives information about the bones forming the skull and the embryonic development, histology and anomalies of the suture structures that hold them together.
