Bone Parietal

During ancient civilizations, understanding of human anatomy and physiology developed through discoveries in medicine and other sciences. Therefore, for example, quite a long time after humanity discovered the significance of certain parts of the skeleton for our understanding, modern scientists studied the properties of various bones, including the parietal one.

The top of the skull—the part that includes the brow ridge, forehead, crown, and back of the head—is called the parietal bone (or parietal). It plays an important role in the functioning of our brain, plays a protective function - protects the brain from damage and serves as a support for the muscles and hearing organs.

One of the most unique functions of the parietal bone is that it allows us to properly sense the space around us. This is possible thanks to a special formation - the parieto-occipital fossa, located directly behind the crown. When we touch an object, our brain interprets the movement, then processes the information received and registers an accurate three-dimensional image of that object, including its location within space. It is thanks to this feature that our ability to perceive the world around us becomes possible.

However, the study of the parietal fossa has limitations due to the fact that some connections pass through it, but
