Bone resorption induced by parathyroid hormone is strikingly diminished in collagenase-resistant mutant mice. (1/2390)

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates bone resorption by acting directly on osteoblasts/stromal cells and then indirectly to increase differentiation and function of osteoclasts. PTH acting on osteoblasts/stromal cells increases collagenase gene transcription and synthesis. To assess the role of collagenase in the bone resorptive actions of PTH, we used mice homozygous (r/r) for a targeted mutation (r) in Col1a1 that are resistant to collagenase cleavage of type I collagen. Human PTH(1-34) was injected subcutaneously over the hemicalvariae in wild-type (+/+) or r/r mice four times daily for three days. Osteoclast numbers, the size of the bone marrow spaces and periosteal proliferation were increased in calvariae from PTH-treated +/+ mice, whereas in r/r mice, PTH-induced bone resorption responses were minimal. The r/r mice were not resistant to other skeletal effects of PTH because abundant interstitial collagenase mRNA was detected in the calvarial periosteum of PTH-treated, but not vehicle-treated, r/r and +/+ mice. Calcemic responses, 0.5-10 hours after intraperitoneal injection of PTH, were blunted in r/r mice versus +/+ mice. Thus, collagenase cleavage of type I collagen is necessary for PTH induction of osteoclastic bone resorption.  (+info)

Lipoma of the corpus callosum. (2/2390)

Lipoma of the corpus callosum is a rare congenital condition, often asymptomatic, but which may present as epilepsy, hemiplegia, dementia, or headaches. This paper reviews the condition and reports the only two cases which are known to the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London. The second case demonstrated the value of computerised axial tomography (EMI scan) in making the diagnosis and showing associated anomalies.  (+info)

Ocular development and involution in the European cave salamander, Proteus anguinus laurenti. (3/2390)

The anatomy and development of the eye of Proteus anguinus are described. The relationships between organogenesis of the eye in embryos and larva and its involution in the young and the adult are discussed. The availability (in breeding cultures) of a significant number of Proteus embryos (which are normally rare) allowed experimental analysis of the effects of light, xenoplastic differentiation and thyroid hormones on the development of the eye. The results of this study suggest that development and involution of the eye of Proteus are controlled by genetic factors which are not greatly influenced by environment, and one can, therefore, consider the microphthalmy of Proteus as a relict characteristic which is the result of a specific development with disturbance of the normal ontogenic process.  (+info)

Neural crest can form cartilages normally derived from mesoderm during development of the avian head skeleton. (4/2390)

The lateral wall of the avian braincase, which is indicative of the primitive amniote condition, is formed from mesoderm. In contrast, mammals have replaced this portion of their head skeleton with a nonhomologous bone of neural crest origin. Features that characterize the local developmental environment may have enabled a neural crest-derived skeletal element to be integrated into a mesodermal region of the braincase during the course of evolution. The lateral wall of the braincase lies along a boundary in the head that separates neural crest from mesoderm, and also, neural crest cells migrate through this region on their way to the first visceral arch. Differences in the availability of one skeletogenic population versus the other may determine the final composition of the lateral wall of the braincase. Using the quail-chick chimeric system, this investigation tests if populations of neural crest, when augmented and expanded within populations of mesoderm, will give rise to the lateral wall of the braincase. Results demonstrate that neural crest can produce cartilages that are morphologically indistinguishable from elements normally generated by mesoderm. These findings (1) indicate that neural crest can respond to the same cues that both promote skeletogenesis and enable proper patterning in mesoderm, (2) challenge hypotheses on the nature of the boundary between neural crest and mesoderm in the head, and (3) suggest that changes in the allocation of migrating cells could have enabled a neural crest-derived skeletal element to replace a mesodermal portion of the braincase during evolution.  (+info)

Intrameatal aneurysm successfully treated by meatal loop trapping--case report. (5/2390)

A 77-year-old female presented with a rare intrameatal aneurysm manifesting as sudden onset of headache, hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Meatal loop trapping was performed. After surgery, the patient's functions recovered almost completely, probably because of the preservation of the 7th and 8th cranial nerves and the presence of effective collaterals in the area supplied by the anterior inferior cerebellar artery.  (+info)

New evidence from Le Moustier 1: computer-assisted reconstruction and morphometry of the skull. (6/2390)

In this study, we present a new computerized reconstruction of the Le Moustier 1 Neanderthal skull and discuss its significance for Neanderthal growth and variability. Because of the precarious state of preservation of the original material, we applied entirely noninvasive methods of fossil reconstruction and morphometry, using a combination of computed tomography, computer graphics, and stereolithography. After electronic restoration, the isolated original pieces were recomposed on the computer screen using external and internal anatomical clues to position the bone fragments and mirror images to complete missing parts. The inferred effects of general compressive deformation that occurred during fossilization were corrected by virtual decompression of the skull. The resulting new reconstruction of the Le Moustier 1 skull shows morphologic features close to the typical Neanderthal adult state. Residual asymmetry of skeletal parts can be traced to in vivo skeletal modification: the left mandibular joint shows signs of a healed condylar fracture, and the anatomy of the occipital region suggests mild plagiocephaly. Using micro-CT analysis, the left incus could be recovered from the matrix filling of the middle ear cavity. Its morphometric dimensions are similar to those of the La Ferrassie III incus. The morphometric characteristics of the inner ear deviate substantially from the condition reported as typical for Neanderthals and fall within the range of modern human variability.  (+info)

Australopithecus garhi: a new species of early hominid from Ethiopia. (7/2390)

The lack of an adequate hominid fossil record in eastern Africa between 2 and 3 million years ago (Ma) has hampered investigations of early hominid phylogeny. Discovery of 2.5 Ma hominid cranial and dental remains from the Hata beds of Ethiopia's Middle Awash allows recognition of a new species of Australopithecus. This species is descended from Australopithecus afarensis and is a candidate ancestor for early Homo. Contemporary postcranial remains feature a derived humanlike humeral/femoral ratio and an apelike upper arm-to-lower arm ratio.  (+info)

CT examination of the head of the Baikal seal (Phoca sibirica). (8/2390)

We carried out a computerised tomographic (CT) examination to elucidate the modifications in the head related to orbital enlargement in the Baikal seal. Transverse CT images showed that (1) the external frontal contours and the frontal sinuses are compressed medially and ventrally by the orbital enlargement; (2) the caudal part of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx are compacted ventrally; and (3) the cranial cavity is displaced caudally. The neurocranium is obviously separated from the facial part in the transverse plane at the caudal region of the orbit. The disposition of the mandible, zygomatic arch, temporal bone, and the masseter, temporal, digastric and pterygoid muscles is changed by the enlarged orbit in the 3-dimensional reorganisation of the head in this species. It is suggested that adaptation for the Lake Baikal environment primarily resulted in orbital enlargement, and that the altered orbital design may subsequently have influenced the form and function of the masticatory and respiratory system.  (+info)

anatomyEXPERT - Skull - Structure DetailanatomyEXPERT - Skull - Structure Detail
The skull has a complex developmental history with bones developing both endochondrally and intramembranously. The skull arises from three cranial primordia. These primordia are the chondrocranium, the viscerocranium, and the dermatocranium. The chondrocranium is the cartilaginous base to the skull. This portion of the skull forms the initial supporting plates for the developing brain and the capsules associated with the special sensory structures of the ear, eye, and nose. These regions of the skull ossify endochonrally. The viscerocranium consists of the cartilaginous bars that originally arose as supports for the primitive gill structures. These gill bars become modified in the human skull to form the jaw anatomy, ear ossicles, and the hyoid bone. The largest contribution to the skull is from the dermatocranium. These are bones that form intramembranously in the embryonic mesenchyme. Much of the cranial vault and facial skeleton forms from the dermatocranium ...

Raman spectral imaging provides the means to study spatially localized response to controlled external perturbations to tissue specimens with light microscopy resolution. We discuss use of heparin-acrylic microbeads soaked with the protein fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2). Microbeads containing FGF2 are placed in murine calvarial tissue and stimulate abnormally rapid mineralization. The tissue response simulated the effects of craniosynostosis, a birth defect occurring in 1 in 2400 live births. We describe Raman imaging measurements of the spatial distribution of apatitic mineral and matrix (predominantly type I collagen) from normal murine calvarial tissue and murine calvarial tissue modeling craniosynostosis. We also discuss spectroscopic evaluation of the state of the mineral induced by the FGF2 beads ...
Digital Thoracosaurus Production Blog: Reconstruction / Skull Morphology.Digital Thoracosaurus Production Blog: Reconstruction / Skull Morphology.
Assembling the final pieces of the skeleton took a bit of time, mostly because of the number of bones there are and how to place all of them. There was also a setback that I didnt notice until using photographs of the Thoracosaurus display case to guide me in placing the bones. It turned out the 11th vertebrae had been skipped in scanning somehow. I had the 10th and the 12th, but not the 11th. I started to freak out a bit, but realized that about a year ago, Mark Petrovich had scanned half of the skeleton with an older, clunkier software. Luckily these scans are still backed up in multiple places. Mark and I then had to find these bones that were skipped and piece them together in PET (Polygon Editing Tool); which has a tendency to want to crash every time a user saves. I also want to note the importance of labeling and documenting the process of scanning. The students who were in charge of the scanning had a tendency to not adhere to strict naming conventions, which caused much confusion and ...

How Many Bones is the Human Skull Made of?How Many Bones is the Human Skull Made of?
... The skull or cranium is composed of eight cranial bones and fourteen facial bones, which are all fused together by sutures. The skull cranial bones protect the brain and they are: one frontal, two parietal, two sphenoid, two temporal, and one occipital bones. Dome of the skull is known as the skullcap and the lower part is called the base. The largest of the facial bones are the upper and lower jaws (maxilla and mandible). At the center of the base of the skull there is hole called foramen magnum, through which the spinal cord runs. The cranium turns freely on top of the vertebral column, which is made up of separate bones called vertebra. ...

Researchers link human skull size and climate • The RegisterResearchers link human skull size and climate • The Register
Humans grew bigger brains as the climate they lived in got cooler, according to researchers at the University at Albany, New York.. The researchers concluded that humans got brainier because they had to adapt to a more challenging environment. They base this assertion on a plot of cranial capacity of 109 fossilised human skulls against the corresponding paleontological record of two million years of changing climate.. As well as a relationship between a cooling earth and growing skulls, the researchers report that where the skulls were found matters, too, because the further you get from the Equator, the more varied the weather becomes.. Gordon G Gallup Jr, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the university, and co-author of the work along with graduate student Jessica Ash, commented: "It became clear that seasonal variation in climate may also have been an important selective force behind the evolution of human cranial capacity. Specifically, we found that as the distance from the Equator ...
Musculoskeletal System - Skull Development - EmbryologyMusculoskeletal System - Skull Development - Embryology
Transcriptional analysis of human cranial compartments with different embryonic origins[2] "Previous investigations suggest that the embryonic origins of the calvarial tissues (neural crest or mesoderm) may account for the molecular mechanisms underlying sutural development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the gene expression of human cranial tissues and assess the presence of an expression signature reflecting their embryonic origins. Of six paired comparisons, frontal and parietal compartments (distinct tissue types of calvaria, either bone or intrasutural mesenchyme) had the most different gene expression profiles despite being composed of the same tissue type (bone). Transcriptional profiles of two groups of tissues, frontal and metopic compartments vs. parietal and sagittal compartments, suggest differences in proliferation, differentiation and extracellular matrix production. Our data suggest that in the second trimester of human foetal development, a gene ...

Its a bit tricky to assign purpose or consequence to morphological differences found in skeletal remians. Sometimes things are different due to genetic drift and random happen stance, and sometimes there is adaptive value to the difference. In the case of HLA differences theyre in a pretty good position to make judgements about adaptive value because HLA genes serve a reasonably well understood purpose. Theres quite a bit of debate about the purpose, or if there is a real purpose to the skull morphology differences in neanderthals (particularly as regards some of the nasal structures). Post cranial anatomy (Neck down) is virtually identical to moderns excepting the robustness of it. They did have more pronounced thumbs and particularly robust toe bones, and cross sections of the leg bones seem to suggest they werent any where near as mobile as we are (Modern leg bones tend to have a tear drop cross section that gets that way from regular use rather than developmentally. The same bones in ...

While the majority of the chondrocranium is succeeded by the bony skull in most higher vertebrates, some components do persist into adulthood.[1] In Cartilagious fishes and Agnathans, the chondrocranium persist throughout life.[2] Embryologically, the chondrocranium represent the basal cranial structure, and lay the base for the formation of the endocranium in higher vertebrates[WP].

Bored Panda reached out to Ashley Mason-Burns-Meerschaert, the director of education at Skeletons: Museum of Osteology, who told us more about these incredible bones. It turns out, the vertebrates with the most bones in their skulls are bony fish, which can have over 100 in their skulls.. Although skulls from different species might look similar, there will be slight differences. Ashley said that "some species of shrews and rodents can only be identified by looking at dental variations under a microscope.". There is also some skull variation between individuals of the same species and also between males and females, which scientists refer to as "sexual dimorphism.". Ashley said that animals skulls can change over time for various reasons, like becoming more adapted to the environment, changing due to animals diet, or because of injuries sustained over their lifetime.. ...
Initial DNA analysis of Paracas elongated skull released - with incredible results | Ancient OriginsInitial DNA analysis of Paracas elongated skull released - with incredible results | Ancient Origins
Paracas is a desert peninsula located within the Pisco Province in the Inca Region, on the south coast of Peru. It is here were Peruvian archaeologist, Julio Tello, made an amazing discovery in 1928 - a massive and elaborate graveyard containing tombs filled with the remains of individuals with the largest elongated skulls found anywhere in the world. These have come to be known as the Paracas skulls . In total, Tello found more than 300 of these elongated skulls, which are believed to date back around 3,000 years. A DNA analysis has now been conducted on one of the skulls and expert Brien Foerster has released preliminary information regarding these enigmatic skulls. It is well-known that most cases of skull elongation are the result of cranial deformation, head flattening, or head binding, in which the skull is intentionally deformed by applying force over a long period of time. It is usually achieved by binding the head between two pieces of wood, or binding in cloth. However, while ...

Meet Hugo! (How Skull Bones Effect the Central Nervous System) - Ashfield PhysioMeet Hugo! (How Skull Bones Effect the Central Nervous System) - Ashfield Physio
The brain skins called meninges (connective tissue of the central nervous system) are attached to the brain and the inside of the skull. Therefore if the sutures (gaps) between the skull bones are compressed, either through impact injury (such as a blow to the head), compression during the birth process (e.g. forceps application), or even vigorous dental procedures (affecting the maxilla - the purple bone you see in the skull) these meninges are impaired in their movement. This means the circulation around areas of the underlying brain tissue can be suboptimal ...

The adult human skull consists of eight bones which form the cranium, or braincase, and 13 facial bones that support the eyes, nose, and jaws. There are also three small, paired ear ossicles-the malleus, incus, and stapes-within a cavity in the temporal bone. The total of 27 bones represents a large reduction in skull elements during the course of vertebrate evolution. The three components of the skull are the neurocranium, dermatocranium, and visceral cranium. See also Ear (vertebrate).. The brain and certain sense organs are protected by the neurocranium. All vertebrate neurocrania develop similarly, starting as ethmoid and basal cartilages beneath the brain, and as capsules partially enclosing the tissues that eventually form the olfactory, otic, and optic sense organs. Further development produces cartilaginous walls around the brain. Passages (foramina) through the cartilages are left open for cranial nerves and blood vessels. Endochondral ossification from four major centers follows in all ...

A form of neuromodulation is conveyed from an external source to an interior of the skull to modulate neural activity. One or more apertures are formed through or partially through the skull to provide an interface for neuromodulation delivery. Parameters of one or more states of the brain may be sensed through an interface formed with one or more apertures extending all or part of the way through the skull. A device provides an interface between the exterior of the skull and the brain that includes a channel of a length sufficient to traverse the entire thickness of the skull or at least a part of the thickness of the skull. The channels may be configured for ion conduction of electrical signals, enabling DC or near DC stimulation of target neurons.

Then we have Manuscript B: the dreaded undergrad thesis. I have been working on this thing for a few years, and I really want to see it through, but its getting harder and harder to stay motivated. Its on something completely unrelated to what Im working on now (I looked at skull morphology in Centrosaurus to be exact), which makes it hard. Ive started working on it again, and I need to re-learn all the ceratopsian skull terminology. Met with my former supervisor and co-author last week, and he decided that I need to do a phylogenetic analysis, which Ive never done before outside of an assignment. Thanks to Andy Farke, I have a matrix to work with, and Im slowly combining a few different matrices. Im slowly learning how annoying it is when people use slightly different characters (like one paper uses one character as 0-75% and others use 0-80%. Why you have to be so difficult!), or switch around the character states. All in all, its not too bad, just time consuming ...

This conditioned medium also enhances proliferation of monolayer cultures of chick calvaria cells in serum-free medium. The active principle is nondialyzable, indicating a molecular weight greater than 12,000 daltons. Dialysis also separates the mitogenic activity from a low-molecuar-weight inhibitor. The amount of the mitogen found in conditioned medium increases as the rate of the bone resorption increases in response to treatment with parathyroid hormone or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Maximal stimulation of DNA synthesis in calvaria cells is evident with conditioned medium obtained 3 to 5 days after treatment of bone ...

Skull is one of the commonest parts of the skeleton used to opine on the sex of an individual. Sexual dimorphism is insignificant in the pre-pubertal age group. Although adult skulls show a few non-metrical and metrical differences, there is paedomorphic tendency in the human skulls of either sex (William PL et al 1995). Absolute sexual differences seldom exist (Bass 1955). Further, hormones, nutritional status, cultural differences and environmental factors affect these variations. Skulls from different geographical areas vary much. Skull shapes may also vary within a population and even among the closely related.. Traditionally sexing of the skull has been based on the non-metrical traits (Krogman 1962, Berry 1975). Non-metrical differences are mainly in facial skeleton, vault and mandible.. There are a few studies, which have used exhaustive list of metrical parameters for sexing of the skulls (Keen 1950, Hanihara 1959, Steyn and Iscan 1997, Stewart 1948). Keen (1950) has chosen a large ...

Almost a century later, Harvard biologist Stephen Jay Gould described in his book, The Mismeasure of Man, how he remeasured the same skulls used by Morton. He discovered that Morton must have attempted to confirm to himself what he and other Americans already knew: that whites were superior to blacks and to Indians. He did this by accepting data that confirmed his biases, and rejecting data that did not support them. For example, he included in his sample of black skulls more females than he included in the white sample. In his American Indian sample, he included more small-brained Inca skulls than large-brain Iroquois skulls. In addition, he omitted small-sized Hindu skulls from his white sample. In fact when Gould remeasured the skulls, he found that the average size of black male skulls was larger than that of white males. He know now that skull size or cranial capacity tells us nothing about intelligence, but in the nineteenth century such scientific efforts were used by people to ...

Man uses his skull as hammer in crazy stuntMan uses his skull as hammer in crazy stunt
People do all sorts of things for a bit of fame. This man is no different. However, his pursuit of setting a world record is a bit drastic and extremely dangerous. Known as Hammer Head, John Ferraro is famous for using his forehead to hammer in nails. Insane! In his recent appearance on Guinness World Records Italian Show, Ferraro pounded 38 nails into a board with his skull in under two minutes. And if you thought this was the first time he has done this, think again. According to Huffington Post, he also holds the one-minute record of 13 nails, and the world record for Most concrete blocks broken on the head with a bowling ball in three minutes. But dont be fooled into thinking you can try this at home. Ferraros skull is thicker than a normal human skull, literally! Daily Mail reports that his skull is 16 millimeters in thickness, compared to the average of 6.5 millimeters. See Ferraro pounding

Skull - WikipediaSkull - Wikipedia
The skull is a complex structure; its bones are formed both by intramembranous and endochondral ossification. The skull roof bones, comprising the bones of the facial skeleton and the sides and roof of the neurocranium, are dermal bones formed by intramembranous ossification, though the temporal bones are formed by endochondral ossification. The endocranium, the bones supporting the brain (the occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid) are largely formed by endochondral ossification. Thus frontal and parietal bones are purely membranous.[6] The geometry of the skull base and its fossae, the anterior, middle and posterior cranial fossae changes rapidly. The anterior cranial fossa changes especially during the first trimester of pregnancy and skull defects can often develop during this time.[7]. At birth, the human skull is made up of 44 separate bony elements. During development, many of these bony elements gradually fuse together into solid bone (for example, the frontal bone). The bones of the roof of ...
The stimulation of healing within a rat calvarial defect by mPCL-TCP/collagen scaffolds loaded with rhBMP-2 | ScholarBank@NUSThe stimulation of healing within a rat calvarial defect by mPCL-TCP/collagen scaffolds loaded with rhBMP-2 | [email protected]
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been widely investigated for their clinical use in bone repair and it is known that a suitable carrier matrix to deliver them is essential for optimal bone regeneration within a specific defect site. Fused deposited modeling (FDM) allows for the fabrication of medical grade poly ε-caprolactone/tricalcium phosphate (mPCL-TCP) scaffolds with high reproducibility and tailor designed dimensions. Here we loaded FDM fabricated mPCL-TCP/collagen scaffolds with 5 μg recombinant human (rh)BMP-2 and evaluated bone healing within a rat calvarial critical-sized defect. Using a comprehensive approach, this study assessed the newly regenerated bone employing micro-computed tomography (μCT), histology/histomorphometry, and mechanical assessments. By 15 weeks, mPCL-TCP/collagen/rhBMP-2 defects exhibited complete healing of the calvarium whereas the non-BMP-2-loaded scaffolds showed significant less bone ingrowth, as confirmed by μCT. Histomorphometry revealed ...
Skull roof - WikipediaSkull roof - Wikipedia
In early sarcopterygians the skull roof was composed of numerous bony plates, particularly around the nostrils and behind each eye. The skull proper was joined by the bones of the operculum. The skull itself was composed rather loosely, with a joint between the bones covering the brain (the parietal bones and the bones behind them) and the snout (the frontal bone, nasal bone and the bones in front and to the side of them). This joint disappeared in the evolving labyrinthodonts, at the same time the number of bones were reduced and the operculum disappeared.[1]. In frogs and salamanders the skull roof is further reduced and has large openings. Only in caecilians can a full covering skull roof be found, an adaption for burrowing.[4]. The skull roof in lungfish is composed of a number of bony plates that are not readily compared to those found in early amphibians.[5] In most ray-finned fishes the skull is often reduced to a series of loose elements, and a skull roof as such is not found.[3]. ...
Imaging Features of Calvarial Tuberculosis: A Study of 42 Cases | American Journal of NeuroradiologyImaging Features of Calvarial Tuberculosis: A Study of 42 Cases | American Journal of Neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tuberculosis of the calvaria is a rare entity, and only anecdotal reports describing its imaging features have been previously published in the literature. We report the role of conventional radiography and CT findings on in the evaluation of calvarial tuberculosis in 42 cases.. METHODS: Forty-two cases of pathologically verified calvarial tuberculosis were analyzed retrospectively by using conventional radiography and CT imaging. The patients included 28 male and 14 female subjects ranging in age from 5 to 48 years (mean age, 16 years). Surgery was performed in 28 patients, and the remaining 14 patients underwent fine needle aspiration cytology. The histologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of tuberculosis. At follow-up after 2 years, all patients had completely recovered.. RESULTS: The male-to-female ratio was 2:1 (28 male and 14 female). The maximum number of patients affected by calvarial tuberculosis ranged in age from 11 to 20 years (61.2%). The average ...

Long in the tooth: evolution of sabertooth cat cranial shape | Paleobiology | GeoScienceWorldLong in the tooth: evolution of sabertooth cat cranial shape | Paleobiology | GeoScienceWorld
Sabertooths exhibit one of the most extreme feeding adaptations seen in mammals. The functional consequences of accommodating extremely elongate upper canine teeth are severe, resulting in a well-documented suite of cranial modifications. We used geometric morphometric methods to study the evolution of overall shape in the skulls of extant and extinct feline and machairodontine felids, as well as extinct nimravids. Trends in skull evolution were evaluated by using relative warps analysis and tested for association with body size and canine tooth length. Primitive sabertooths from all lineages exhibit cranial shapes more similar to conical-toothed cats, despite the presence of moderately developed saberteeth. More-derived forms in both nimravids and felids diverge in skull morphospace to form two distinct sabertooth types (dirk-toothed and scimitar-toothed) that differ in canine shape. Skull shape in conical-toothed cats is strongly associated with body size, but not canine length. However, ...
Apatosaurus louisae - Dinosaur National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)Apatosaurus louisae - Dinosaur National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)
The Discovery Bones that led to the discovery of the Carnegie Quarry were tail vertebrae (back bones) of Apatosaurus louisae. This specimen, a nearly complete skeleton with a skull, became the type specimen of Apatosaurus louisae. This means that it was the first of its species ever found and scientifically described.. Like many sauropods and dinosaurs in general, Apatosaurus skulls are extremely rare. The skull bones are thin and easily crushed. Skulls are mostly hollow to hold soft tissues that cannot be preserved. Fine sediments compress the skull to flatten it the way you might step on an empty tin can. These skulls may be preserved, but some of the three-dimensional structure is lost.. The only Apatosaurus skull in the world was found in the Carnegie Quarry because the sand-sized sediment preserves bone in great detail without compressing it. Today a cast of the Apatosaurus skull is still on display with the rest of the specimen at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, ...

Background Allosauroidea has a contentious taxonomic and systematic history. Within this group of theropod dinosaurs, considerable debate has surrounded the phylogenetic position of the large-bodied allosauroid Acrocanthosaurus atokensis from the Lower Cretaceous Antlers Formation of North America. Several prior analyses recover Acrocanthosaurus atokensis as sister taxon to the smaller-bodied Allosaurus fragilis known from North America and Europe, and others nest Acrocanthosaurus atokensis within Carcharodontosauridae, a large-bodied group of allosauroids that attained a cosmopolitan distribution during the Early Cretaceous. Methodology/Principal Findings Re-evaluation of a well-preserved skull of Acrocanthosaurus atokensis (NCSM 14345) provides new information regarding the palatal complex and inner surfaces of the skull and mandible. Previously inaccessible internal views and articular surfaces of nearly every element of the skull are described. Twenty-four new morphological characters are

The Skull is a unique skeletal structure in several ways: embryonic cellular origin (neural crest), form of ossification (intramembranous and endochondrial) and flexibility (fibrous sutures). Musculoskeletal Development - Skull Development The bones enclosing the brain have large flexible fibrous joints (sutures) which allow firstly the head to compress and pass through the birth canal and secondly to postnatally expand for brain growth. These sutures gradually fuse at different times postnatally, firstly the metopic suture in infancy and the others much later. Abnormal fusion (synostosis) of any of the sutures will lead to a number of different skull defects. ...

Skull bossing - WikipediaSkull bossing - Wikipedia
Skull bossing is a descriptive term in medical physical examination indicating a protuberance of the skull, most often in the frontal bones of the forehead ("frontal bossing"). Although prominence of the skull bones may be normal, skull bossing may be associated with certain medical conditions, including nutritional, metabolic, hormonal, and hematologic disorders. Frontal bossing is the development of an unusually pronounced forehead which may also be associated with a heavier than normal brow ridge. It is caused by enlargement of the frontal bone, often in conjunction with abnormal enlargement of other facial bones, skull, mandible, and bones of the hands and feet. Frontal bossing may be seen in a few rare medical syndromes such as acromegaly - a chronic medical disorder in which the anterior pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (GH). Frontal bossing may also occur in diseases resulting in chronic anemia, where there is increased hematopoiesis and enlargement of the medullary cavities ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - A 3D geometric morphometric analysis of digging ability in the extant and fossil cingulate humerus. AU - Milne, Nick. AU - Vizcaino, S.F.. AU - Fernicola, J.C.. PY - 2009. Y1 - 2009. N2 - Digging ability in armadillos has been shown to be closely related to the relative length of the olecranon process of the ulna. This study uses geometric morphometrics to examine the relationship between humeral shape, digging ability and size in a range of living and fossil cingulates. The extant species in the sample include representatives of 11 species of armadillo, while the fossil specimens include three species of fossil armadillos (Peltephilus, Proeutatus and Eutatus) and three Glyptodonts (Propalaeohoplophorus, Glyptodon and Neosclerocalyptus). The results show that in general, living species with good digging ability have larger sites for muscle attachment, particularly the proximal tubercles and the crests descending therefrom, and the epicondylar region at the distal end of the ...
Starchild skull - WikipediaStarchild skull - Wikipedia
A dentist who examined the upper right maxilla found with the skull determined that the skull was that of a child aged 4.5 to 5 years. The volume, however, of the interior of the Starchild skull is 1,600 cubic centimeters, which is 200 cm³ larger than the average adults brain, and 400 cm³ larger than an adult of the same approximate size. The orbits are oval and shallow, with the optic nerve canal situated closer to the bottom of the orbit than to the back. There are no frontal sinuses.[1] The back of the skull is flattened.[citation needed] The skull consists of calcium hydroxyapatite, the normal material of mammalian bone. Neurologist Steven Novella of Yale University Medical School says that the cranium exhibits all of the characteristics of a child who has died as a result of congenital hydrocephalus, and the cranial deformations were the result of accumulations of cerebrospinal fluid within the skull.[4][5][6][7][8] DNA testing in 1999 at BOLD (Bureau of Legal Dentistry), a forensic DNA ...

Allosaurus is one of the best known theropod dinosaurs from the Jurassic and a crucial taxon in phylogenetic analyses. On the basis of an in-depth, firsthand study of the bulk of Allosaurus specimens housed in North American institutions, we describe here a new theropod dinosaur from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Western North America, Allosaurus jimmadseni sp. nov., based upon a remarkably complete articulated skeleton and skull and a second specimen with an articulated skull and associated skeleton. The present study also assigns several other specimens to this new species, Allosaurus jimmadseni, which is characterized by a number of autapomorphies present on the dermal skull roof and additional characters present in the postcrania. In particular, whereas the ventral margin of the jugal of Allosaurus fragilis has pronounced sigmoidal convexity, the ventral margin is virtually straight in Allosaurus jimmadseni. The paired nasals of Allosaurus jimmadseni possess bilateral, blade-like crests
Newly Discovered 13 Million-Year-Old Skull Sheds Light on Ape AncestryNewly Discovered 13 Million-Year-Old Skull Sheds Light on Ape Ancestry
The fossil is the skull of an infant, and it is the most complete extinct ape skull known in the fossil record. Many of the most informative parts of the skull are preserved inside the fossil, and to make these visible the team used an extremely sensitive form of 3D X-ray imaging at the synchrotron facility in Grenoble, France. "We were able to reveal the brain cavity, the inner ears and the unerupted adult teeth with their daily record of growth lines," said Paul Tafforeau of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. "The quality of our images was so good that we could establish from the teeth that the infant was about 1 year and 4 months old when it died.". The unerupted adult teeth inside the infant apes skull also indicate that the specimen belonged to a new species, Nyanzapithecus alesi. The species name is taken from the Turkana word for ancestor, "ales.". "Until now, all Nyanzapithecus species were only known from teeth and it was an open question whether or not they were even apes," ...

Mutations affecting craniofacial development in zebrafish. - Zurich Open Repository and ArchiveMutations affecting craniofacial development in zebrafish. - Zurich Open Repository and Archive
In a large-scale screen for mutations affecting embryogenesis in zebrafish, we identified 48 mutations in 34 genetic loci specifically affecting craniofacial development. Mutants were analyzed for abnormalities in the cartilaginous head skeleton. Further, the expression of marker genes was studied to investigate potential abnormalities in mutant rhombencephalon, neural crest, and pharyngeal endoderm. The results suggest that the identified mutations affect three distinct aspects of craniofacial development. In one group, mutations affect the overall pattern of the craniofacial skeleton, suggesting that the genes are involved in the specification of these elements. Another large group of mutations affects differentiation and morphogenesis of cartilage, and may provide insight into the genetic control of chondrogenesis. The last group of mutations leads to the abnormal arrangement of skeletal elements and may uncover important tissue-tissue interactions underlying jaw development. ...

The dumbo mouse and rat strains were named for their most obvious physical characteristic, displaced and malformed ears, prior to any knowledge of the genetic mechanism underlying these malformations. The dumbo mouse phenotype was identified in a mutagenesis screen (Wilson et al., 2005), whereas the dumbo rat mutation arose spontaneously among fancy rats kept by enthusiast breeders, probably in the western United States, and has become a popular pet strain on the basis of its novel appearance. Given the large number of genes that are likely to play a role in the morphogenesis of the pinna, it is remarkable that both the mouse and rat dumbo strains converged on the same gene locus. The appearance of the mouse and rat dumbo ears are quite similar, but at the cellular level the phenotypes of the mouse and rat mutants reveal other striking differences. In recent work, we have shown that Hmx1dm/dm mice exhibit marked loss of geniculate ganglion neurons and the associated posterior auricular nerve ...

Investigation of Skull Defect using Resistive Dipole Antenna on Cranial Surgery Phantom ModelInvestigation of Skull Defect using Resistive Dipole Antenna on Cranial Surgery Phantom Model
In this work, the resistive dipole antenna is designed for sensing the effective dielectric constants of the skull defect as part of the healing stages for craniosynostosis. The performance of the fabricated resistive dipole antenna is analyzed by comparing to the conventional dipole antenna in terms of both frequency and time domain. The measurement result is shown that the amplitude of the reflected pulse is increased as the thickness of the powder is increased.. ...
Transcranial ultrasonic therapy based on time reversal of acoustically induced cavitation bubble signature. - InsermTranscranial ultrasonic therapy based on time reversal of acoustically induced cavitation bubble signature. - Inserm
Brain treatment through the skull with high-intensity focused ultrasound can be achieved with multichannel arrays and adaptive focusing techniques such as time reversal. This method requires a reference signal to be either emitted by a real source embedded in brain tissues or computed from a virtual source, using the acoustic properties of the skull derived from computed tomography images. This noninvasive computational method focuses with precision, but suffers from modeling and repositioning errors that reduce the accessible acoustic pressure at the focus in comparison with fully experimental time reversal using an implanted hydrophone. In this paper, this simulation-based targeting has been used experimentally as a first step for focusing through an ex vivo human skull at a single location. It has enabled the creation of a cavitation bubble at focus that spontaneously emitted an ultrasonic wave received by the array. This active source signal has allowed 97 +/- 1.1% of the reference pressure

Introduction: Various studies confirm the biocompatibility and efficacy of clips for certain target tissues, but without any comparative analysis of hematological parameters. Therefore, we conducted a study to assess the possible association of the implantation of titanium and plastic clips in the neurocranium with possible morphological changes in the blood cells of experimental animals. Materials and Methods: As a control, the peripheral blood smears were taken before surgery from 12 adult dogs that were divided into two experimental groups. After placing titanium and plastic clips in the neurocranium, the peripheral blood of the first group was analyzed on the seventh postoperative day, while the peripheral blood of the second group was analyzed on the sixtieth day. By microscopy of the blood smears, the following parameters were analyzed: the presence of poikilocytosis of the red blood cells, degenerative changes in the leukocytes and leukogram. Results: There were no statistically ...

Study of Labidosaurikos meachami, from the Lower Permian Hennessey Formation (Sumner Group) of north-central Oklahoma, reveals the presence of over thirty new cranial characters not present in single-tooth-rowed captorhinids and Captorhinus aguti. However, it is uncertain if these new characters represent autapomorphies of L. meachami because the skulls of all other large, multiple-rowed captorhinids are poorly known; many of these characters may instead diagnose subclades of multiple-tooth-rowed taxa within Captorhinidae. A suite of skeletal features, including the presence of tooth plates, prominent tooth wear, and the morphology of the skull roof, suggests strongly that L. meachami was herbivorous. Propaliny was probably a significant component of the feeding mechanism.Phylogenetic analysis of the interrelationships of the well known North American captorhinids indicates that Labidosaurikos meachami is more closely related to the large, single-rowed Labidosaurus hamatus than it is to ...

Splanchnocranium comes from neural crest cells and is either cartilage or replacement bone. Arch 1 forms the jaws and is called the mandibular arch. We will particularily study the articular which becomes the malleus of the ear in mammals and the quadrate which forms the incus. Arch 2 is the hyoid arch and we will see the hyomandibular become the collumella and then the stapes of the ear. The hyoid bone also remains as part of the hyoid bone of the larynx. Arches 3-5 are gill arches in fishes and also involved in jaw suspension. They form the caudal portion of the hyoid bone, and the thyroid and cricoid catrilage of the larynx in mammals as seen in the respriation lab on page 116 ...
Cephalometric correction factors for bite opening-a dry skull study : The European Journal of Orthodontics - oiCephalometric correction factors for bite opening-a dry skull study : The European Journal of Orthodontics - oi
The lateral cephalometric radiograph supplies the clinician with valuable information regarding the facial skeletal morphology of the patient, provided that it is taken correctly. These radiographs should be taken while the patient is occluding in maximum intercuspation, failing which the exposure is often repeated, leading to an increase in patient radiation dose as well as added cost in time and materials. This study investigated the relationship between limited bite opening and selected cephalometric variables. Thirty-one dry skulls were used and five splints were constructed for each skull giving increments of bite opening from 0 to 5 mm. Six lateral radiographs per skull were taken at each increment of bite opening. The radiographs were traced and the points plotted using a reflex metrograph.. A linear relationship was found between bite opening and SNB, ANB, SN-mandibular plane, and SN-Y-axis angles. Errors in digitization, superimposition, and landmark identification were determined and ...

Human head, skull and spine. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan and angiogram, showing a frontal view of the normal skull and cervical spine of a 35-year-old man, with a view of the external shape of the head projected onto the scan. The skull consists of the cranium, which protects the brain, and the facial bones. The facial bones include the mandible and the maxilla, the jaw bones that contain the teeth. The facial bones include the bones around the eyes (the orbits of the eyes) and the air-filled bones that contain the paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity (centre). The angiography (use of a contrast medium to highlight blood vessels) shows the vertebral arteries running along and through the vertebrae of the neck. - Stock Image C033/7368
Skull - Academic KidsSkull - Academic Kids
If the brain is bruised or injured it can be extremely serious. Normally the skull protects the brain from damage through its hard unyieldingness, but in some cases of head injury, there can be raised intracranial pressure through mechanisms such as a subdural haematoma. In these cases the raised intracranial pressure can cause herniation of the brain out of the foramen magnum (coning) because there is no space for the brain to expand to-this can result in significant brain damage or death unless an urgent operation is performed to relieve the pressure. This is why patients with concussion must be watched extremely carefully. In earlier times, a skull operation called trepanation was often performed for semi-mystical reasons and not only as an attempted life-saving technique. The skull also contains the sinus cavities. The meninges are the membranes that separate the brain from the skull. Although persons of East Asian descent are occasionally stereotyped as different from other ethnic groups ...
