How the model is used in teaching
At birth the skull bones are not yet joined. They are separated by fibrous sutures and by fontanelles, the soft spots of a baby's head. The posterior fontanelle usually closes within the first few months, while the larger anterior fontanelle closes during the second year. Through childhood the sutures narrow, the face grows forward and downward and the teeth erupt, gradually giving the skull its adult proportions.
An infant skull model lets students study the skull at this stage in three dimensions and compare it with an adult skull. It supports lessons on growth and development in biology, and on the infant head in nursing, midwifery and paediatric anatomy courses.
