| | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - Joint - Functional classification Functionally, they can be classified as:
synarthrosis - permit no movement.
amphiarthrosis - permit little movement.
diarthrosis - permit a variety of movements (e.g. flexion, adduction, pronation). Only synovial joints are diarthrosis.
Joint - Synarthrosis joints.
Synarthroses are joints with very little (if any) mobility. They can be categorised by how the two bones are joined together:
Syndesmoses are joints where the two bon ...

| | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - Occipital bone - The squama The squama (squama occipitalis), situated above and behind the foramen magnum, is curved from above downward and from side to side.
Occipital bone - Surfaces.
The external surface is convex and presents midway between the summit of the bone and the foramen magnum a prominence, the external occipital protuberance.
Extending lateralward from this on either side are two curved lines, one a little above the other. The upper, often faintly marked, is named the highest ...

Parietal bone - External.
The external surface [Fig. 1] is convex, smooth, and marked near the center by an eminence, the parietal eminence (tuber parietale), which indicates the point where ossification commenced.
Crossing the middle of the bone in an arched direction are two curved lines, the superior and inferior temporal lines; the former gives attachment to the temporal fascia, and the latter indicates the upper limit ...

| | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - Patagonia - Physiography The general character of the Argentine portion of Patagonia is for the most part a region of vast steppe-like plains, rising in a succession of abrupt terraces about 100 meters (330 feet) at a time, and covered with an enormous bed of shingle almost bare of vegetation. In the hollows of the plains are ponds or lakes of brackish and fresh water. Towards the Andes the shingle gives place to porphyry, granite, and basalt lavas, animal life becomes more abundant and vegetation more luxuriant, acquiring the characteristics of the flora of the western coast, and consisting p ...

| | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - Ethmoid bone - Surfaces The upper surface of the labyrinth [Fig. 1] presents a number of half-broken cells, the walls of which are completed, in the articulated skull, by the edges of the ethmoidal notch of the frontal bone. Crossing this surface are two grooves, converted into canals by articulation with the frontal; they are the anterior and posterior ethmoidal canals, and open on the inner wall of the orbit. The posterior surface presents large irregular cellular cavities, which are closed in by articulation with the sphenoidal concha and orbital process of the ...

Permanent tooth formula 0-0-2-3/1-0-2-3 (deciduous 0-0-3/1-0-3), with vertical cheek tooth replacement. Two sets of bilophodont and trilophodont teeth.

| | | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - History of neurology - Anatomy and physiology The development of modern neurology began in the sixteenth century with Vesalius, who described the anatomy of the brain and much else; he had little notion of function, thinking that it lay mainly in the ventricles. He did not remove the brain from the skull before cutting it. Thomas Willis in 1664, published his Anatomy of the Brain, followed by Cerebral Pathology in 1676. He removed the brain from the cranium, and was able to describe it more clearly, setting forth the circle of Willis – the circle of vessels that enables arterial suppl ...

| | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - Pak Protector - Tree Of Life Tree-of-Life is a bush whose smell is unnoticeable to breeders until they reach about 25 Pak years (or 42 human years); after that, the smell suddenly becomes irresistible. The breeder eats the root, infecting himself with a symbiotic virus in the root and triggering the transition.
After consuming Tree-of-Life, Pak breeder forms (such as humans) turn into the Pak Protector form, which involves reconfiguration of the anatomy, including the acquisition of a leathery armor or exoskeleton, strong enough to turn a copper knife. Joints swe ...

| | | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - Infant mortality Infant mortality is the death of infants in the first year of life. Infant mortality can be subdivided into neonatal death, referring to deaths in the first 27 days of life, and post-neonatal death, referring to deaths after 28 days of life. Major causes of infant mortality include dehydration, infection, congenital malformation, and SIDS.
This epidemiological indicator is recognised as a very important measure of the level of healthcare in a country because it is directly linked with the health status of infants, children, and pregnant women as well as access to medical care, socio-econom ...

| | | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - The newborn's senses Newborns can feel all different sensations, but respond most enthusiastically to soft stroking, cuddling and caressing. Gentle rocking back and forth will oftentimes calm a crying infant, as will massages and warm baths. Newborns may comfort themselves by sucking their thumbs, or a pacifier. The need to suckle is instinctive and allows newborns to feed.
Newborn infants have unremarkable vision, being able to focus on objects only about 18 inches directly in front of their face. While this may not be much, it is all that is needed for ...

| | | | | cranium: Encyclopedia II - Xenomorph - The Queen Xenomorphs have an insect-like life cycle, based primarily on those of the digger wasp, Ichneumon wasp, and the ant or termite. The Queen runs the whole hive and it is possible the hive could not survive without her. However, in the first Alien movie, a deleted (and later restored) scene where Ripley found Dallas cocooned and Brett being transformed into an egg suggested that any member of the species can procreate.
Queen Xenomorph aliens are significantly larger than the drones, approximately forty feet long. Their body struct ...
