Childs skull
Human skull. Coloured X-ray of a childs healthy skull. The rounded cranium (upper centre) houses and protects the brain. The eye sockets (orbits) and nasal cavity (centre) are also seen. Some of the permanent (secondary) teeth have displaced the milk (deciduous) teeth in the jaws (lower centre), while others are seen below the teeth they will replace. All the bones of the skull, apart from the hinged lower jaw, are fused together

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured X-ray image of a child's skull, providing an intriguing glimpse into the intricate structure that houses and safeguards the brain. The rounded cranium takes center stage, emphasizing its vital role in protecting this precious organ. As we explore further, our attention is drawn to the eye sockets or orbits and the nasal cavity at the center, revealing additional fascinating details. A remarkable aspect captured in this image is the transition from milk teeth to permanent teeth within the jaws. Some of these secondary teeth have displaced their deciduous counterparts while others are seen emerging below them, symbolizing growth and development. It serves as a visual testament to nature's continuous cycle of renewal. The fusion of all skull bones except for the hinged lower jaw becomes evident upon closer examination, highlighting both strength and fragility simultaneously. This photograph not only provides valuable insights into human anatomy but also holds significance in medical diagnostics and skeletal analysis. Displayed by Science Photo Library with utmost precision and clarity, this print encapsulates various aspects such as eruption patterns, dental health assessment, cranial structure evaluation - making it an invaluable resource for professionals in fields like biology, medicine, dentistry or forensic science.
