Skull - bone frame of the head, a set of bones.
Building
The human skull is formed by 23 bones (of which 8 are paired and 7 are unpaired). In addition, in the cavity of the middle ear there are three more paired auditory bones - a hammer, an anvil and a stirrup, as well as 32 teeth.
Pathologies
Skull deformity
The shape of this deformed skull was modified quite consciously.
For unclear reasons, some peoples from the Andes region of South America squeezed the head of children using special planks to make the skull longer.
As you know, the skull of a newborn is easily deformed. A few years later, he took on a new form, while becoming quite strong.

2021: Scientists create biocompatible plate to correct skull defects
NUST MISIS scientists have developed an innovative hybrid plate for repairing skull defects, which is characterized by increased bioactivity compared to existing analogues. This ensures effective integration of the implant into bone tissue and minimizes the risk of its rejection. The development can find application in neurosurgery and traumatology. The institute announced this on December 15, 2021. Read more here.
