Human skull anatomy, diagram
Human skull anatomy. Diagram showing the structure and anatomy of a human skull, including the sutures (jagged lines), the joints between the fused skull bones. The skull areas shown here include the nasal bones, the upper jaw bone (cheekbone, maxilla), the lower jaw bone (mandible), the lacrimal bones of the eye orbit, the zygomatic bones between the eyes and the ears, and the sphenoid bone over the temple. The main bones of the cranium are: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate and fascinating anatomy of a human skull. The detailed diagram highlights various structures and bones, providing a comprehensive understanding of this vital part of our body. The image reveals the sutures, represented by jagged lines, which denote the joints between fused skull bones. It encompasses several key areas such as the nasal bones, upper jaw bone (cheekbone or maxilla), lower jaw bone (mandible), lacrimal bones around the eye orbit, zygomatic bones positioned between the eyes and ears, and the sphenoid bone overlying the temple region. Within this skeletal framework lie crucial components like frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal bones that form the cranium. Each element plays an essential role in protecting our brain while maintaining structural integrity. This illustration serves as both artful work and educational tool for those interested in exploring human biology. Its meticulous depiction allows us to delve into anatomical intricacies with ease – from cheekbones to teeth – offering valuable insights into how these elements contribute to our overall facial structure. With its focus on cranial features including nasal passages and jaw structure, this photograph provides a glimpse into one aspect of our complex human body. By capturing these details with precision and clarity, Science Photo Library invites viewers to appreciate not only their aesthetic appeal but also their biological significance.
