ABSTRACT
G - zygomaticomaxillary suture
H - infraorbital foramen
Image 2.5 Examine this fetal skull photograph (developmental age of approximately thirty-four weeks), comparing the overall morphology to that demonstrated in Image 2.4. In comparison to the rest of the head, the orbits look greatly enlarged. Also, the parietal bones are prominent. A complete lack of erupted dentition in both mandibular and maxillary dental arcades can also be observed. A and B indicate structures not normally seen in adults. A is a metopic or frontal suture. B is an elevation of jaw seen over a deciduous tooth.
