3D model description
High detailed segmented model.
The skull is a complex structure that forms the head's framework, protecting the brain and ing the face. It is composed of 22 bones that are classified into two main categories:
- Cranial Bones (8) These bones enclose and protect the brain, forming the cranial cavity. They are:
Frontal Bone: Forms the forehead and the upper part of the eye sockets.
Parietal Bones (2): Paired bones that form the upper sides and roof of the cranium.
Temporal Bones (2): Located on the sides of the skull, housing the structures of the inner ear.
Occipital Bone: Forms the back and base of the skull, containing the foramen magnum for spinal cord age.
Sphenoid Bone: A butterfly-shaped bone that forms part of the skull base, connecting with several other cranial bones.
Ethmoid Bone: Located at the roof of the nasal cavity and part of the orbital walls.
2. Facial Bones (14)
These bones shape the face, the teeth, and provide attachments for facial muscles. They include:
Mandible: The lower jawbone, the only movable skull bone.
Maxillae (2): Form the upper jaw and part of the hard palate.
Zygomatic Bones (2): The cheekbones.
Nasal Bones (2): Small bones that form the bridge of the nose.
Lacrimal Bones (2): Small bones in the inner corner of the orbits, ing tear ducts.
Palatine Bones (2): Form the back of the hard palate and part of the nasal cavity.
Inferior Nasal Conchae (2): Curved bones inside the nasal cavity that improve airflow.
Vomer: A single bone forming the lower part of the nasal septum.
Key Features of Skull Bones:
Sutures: Immovable ts connecting cranial bones, including coronal, sagittal, lambdoid, and squamous sutures.
Foramina and Canals: Openings allowing nerves and blood vessels to , such as the foramen magnum and optic canal.
Sinuses: Air-filled cavities in the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxilla bones that lighten the skull and enhance voice resonance.
The skull is essential for protecting the brain and sensory organs, ing facial expressions, and enabling chewing and speech.#Skull #SkullBones #CranialBones #FacialBones #HumanAnatomy #BoneAnatomy #Cranium #Mandible #Maxilla #TemporalBone #FrontalBone #ParietalBone #OccipitalBone #SphenoidBone #EthmoidBone #ZygomaticBone #NasalBone #LacrimalBone #PalatineBone #InferiorNasalConchae #Vomer #ForamenMagnum #BoneStructure #BoneSegmentation #Medical3DModels #AnatomyStudy #3DPrinting #3DModeling #BoneHealth #Skeleton #HumanSkull #AnatomyEducation #BoneFeatures #SkullAnatomy #AnatomicalSegmentation #Sinuses #FacialStructure #CranialStructure #MedicalImaging #HumanSkeleton #3DBioModels #Craniofacial #Neuroanatomy #Orthopedics #ForensicAnatomy #Maxillofacial #AnatomyArt #MedicalVisualization #BoneBiology #ClinicalAnatomy #BoneFacts
