Infant skull - top view
Bone structure at birth, bone development, cartilage structure, pediatrics. Infant skull in top view, fontanel, sutures, pediatrics. This anatomical illustration shows a newborn baby's skull viewed from above. The front of the skull is visible at the top of the drawing thanks to the nose represented. The skull is made up of bony plates, but also of fontanelles and sutures made of connective tissue. These structures give it great elasticity, allowing the baby to pass through the pelvic strait during birth. From top to bottom, we can distinguish the metopic suture, then the anterior fontanel.
