Question

In new born,roofing of bones of skull leaves six gaps called fontenellas.Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

An infant's skull is made up of 6 separate cranial (skull) bones:

Frontal bone

Occipital bone

Two parietal bones

Two temporal bones

These bones are held together by strong, fibrous, elastic tissues called sutures. Also, the soft spaces between the bones that remain open in babies and young children are called fontanelles. Sometimes, they are called soft spots. These spaces are a part of normal development.

So, the correct option is 'Fontanels'.
