alright guys we just finished the adult
skull so now what we're going to do is we're
going to go ahead and get into the fetal
skull what we're going to do in this video
we'll talk about the fontanel so if you
look here fontanelles they are basically
just connective tissue and there designed to
allow for the the skull to expand so
that the brain can you know take on that
increasing space so obviously any type of irregular
closure of these can lead to a
lot of different issues that we might
talk about in future videos if we actually look
here this right here this fontanelle
it's going to be called the anterior
fontanelle, its called the anterior
fontanelle then if we come over here i'm
gonna flip in the back here is the
posterior part of the skull is going to
be the posterior fontanelle that's
the posterior fontanelle right there
then if we flip over here to the
lateral side over here
right there that's going to be called
the mastoid fontanelle
and the last fontanelle over here is
going to be called the sphenoid fontanelle
ok so again we got anterior fontanelle
posterior fontanelle mastoid fontanelle
and sphenoid fontanelle
