Bone of the Sphenoid Fontana

The bone of the sphenoid fontanel (lat. os fonticuli sphenoidalis) is one of the bones of the human skull, which is located in the front of the skull. It is wedge-shaped and connects to other bones of the skull.

The bone of the sphenoid fontanel is an important part of the development of the brain and nervous system in the fetus. It forms a part of the skull called the fontanel. The fontanel is a soft tissue that connects the bones of the skull and allows them to grow and develop together.

After birth, the fontanel gradually closes and is replaced by bone tissue. However, some people may have a small gap where the bones of the skull meet, which can lead to health problems such as increased intracranial pressure or a deformed skull.

The bone of the sphenoid (sphenopalatine) fontanelle, or sphenoid bone, in Latin os fonticulus spenialdalis in the scientific literature is almost always designated by the phrase os pterycum. In other words, we are talking about one of the two bones of the adult skull - the sphenoid-ethmoid bone or simply the ethmoid bone, which in children and adults is located immediately behind the frontal bone and slightly in front of the perpendicular bone. Outwardly, its barely visible thickening and fontanelle look like two small spots, comparable in size to the size of a small coin. The anterior fontanel or fontanel of anterior closure runs along the bone, which, if the intrauterine period of development is favorable, manages to close by the fifth year of the child’s life. The child was born without it completely, therefore this fontanel is also called the posterior fontanel or the posterior closure fontanel.

The fontanel of the brain is not a bone, but a large space. It is lined inside with soft tissues of the fetus, which are a membrane. The intermittent fontanel of the anterior closure is closed, as if by a bar, with a thin film. What everyone notices about an adult, however, is that here he is always open. The main thing is that the baby grows and develops, without allowing pathology in the development of the skull. Thanks to the open plank on both sides of it, air circulation is established. In this sense, the structure of the child’s head allows him to breathe freely.

**The sphenoid rhondyma bone** is a small paired bone, the sphenoid process of the face. It is part of the base of the skull (occoluma). Refers to the ectocervicular bone of the skull. This is a bone consisting of the epiphysis and ependyma. In the area of ​​the epenismal body there is a wedge-shaped bursa.

The sphenoid bone is located at the root of the nose, its wedge shape creates a joint between the vomer and the quadrate bone. It forms the upper part of the base of the skull and forms the opening of the sphenoid cavity. This is where the brain originates and connects to the skull. Through the area of ​​a small hole in the maxillary bone, the bone is in direct contact with the nasal cavity.
