The calvaria or skullcap (feminine Latin noun with plural calvariae; however, many medical texts list the word as calvarium, neuter Latin noun with plural calvaria) is the upper part of the neurocranium and covers the cranial cavity containing the brain.
The calvaria (skullcap) is made up of the superior portions of the frontal bone, occipital bone, and parietal bones. In the human skull, the sutures between the bones normally remain flexible during the first few years of postnatal development, and fontanelles are palpable. Premature complete ossification of these sutures is called craniosynostosis.
Structure
The outer surface of the skull possesses a number of landmarks. The point at which the frontal bone and the two parietal bones meet is known as "Bregma". The point at which the two parietal and occipital bones meet is known as "Lambda".
Not only do these landmarks indicate the fontanelle in newborns, they also act as reference points in medicine and surgery.
The inner surface of the skull-cap is concave and presents depressions for the convolutions of the cerebrum, together with numerous furrows for the lodgement of branches of the meningeal vessels.
Along the middle line is a longitudinal groove, narrow in front, where it commences at the frontal crest, but broader behind; it lodges the superior sagittal sinus, and its margins afford attachment to the falx cerebri.
On either side of it are several depressions for the arachnoid granulations, and at its back part, the openings of the parietal foramina when these are present.
The skull is a bony structure in the head of most vertebrates (in particular, craniates) that supports the structures of the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain. The skull is composed of two parts: the cranium and the mandible. The skull forms the anterior most portion of the skeleton and is a product of encephalization, housing the brain, many sensory structures (eyes, ears, nasal cavity), and the feeding system.
Functions of the skull include protection of the brain, fixing the distance between the eyes to allow stereoscopic vision, and fixing the position of the ears to help the brain use auditory cues to judge direction and distance of sounds. In some animals, the skull also has a defensive function (e.g. horned ungulates); the frontal bone is where horns are mounted.
The English word "skull" is probably derived from Old Norse "skalli" meaning bald, while the Latin word cranium comes from the Greek root κρανίον (kranion).
The asteroid was first observed on 10 October 2015 by Pan-STARRS at an apparent magnitude of 20 using a 1.8-meter (71in)Ritchey–Chrétien telescope. The asteroid was not discovered sooner because it spends most of its time beyond the orbit of Mars, has a large orbital inclination, and spends most of its time well below the plane of the ecliptic. The asteroid last passed within 0.064AU (9,600,000km; 5,900,000mi) of Earth on 29 October 1923 and will not pass that close again until 1 November 2088. The 2015 flyby was its closest approach to Earth in at least the next 500 years.
The human skull is the bony structure that forms the head in the human skeleton. It supports the structures of the face and forms a cavity for the brain. Like the skulls of other vertebrates, it protects the brain from injury.
The skull consists of two parts, of different embryological origin—the neurocranium and the facial skeleton (also called the viscerocranium). The neurocranium (or braincase) forms the protective cranial vault that surrounds and houses the brain and brainstem. The facial skeleton is formed by the bones supporting the face.

1.5 Step 4. Saw cuts for removal of the calvaria
These videos have been excerpted from Netter’s Video Dissection Modules on Student Consult. http://bit.ly/2oEt9CO
Step 4
Make an encircling cut through the calvaria. This cut should pass just above the superior margins of the orbits and posteriorly, to just above the external occipital protuberance, as shown here by the dark line. If the cut is too high, it will be difficult to remove the brain. Then make another cut along the coronal suture to allow for the separate removal of the anterior third of the calvaria.

Key Terms
• Calvaria (skullcap): is formed by the frontal, occipital and two parietal bones N9. The internal surface has grooves for the meningeal vessels N102 and the superior sagittal sinus, and on both sides of the latter are depressions for arachnoid granulations N103. The coronal suture marks the junction between the frontal and parietal bones; the lambdoid suture is between the occipital and parietal bones; and the sagittal suture separates the two parietal bones. The calvaria is composed of inner and outer tables of membranous bone with intervening diplo and venous channels N99. The external surface is covered with periosteum, and the periosteal layer of the dura mater is attached to its internal surface N102.
• External occipital protuberance: a palpable, often visible, surface feature N152 of the occipital bone N6 N8 N10. It lies in the midline at the junction of the scalp and the most superior point of attachment of the trapezius muscle and ligamentum nuchae N176. It corresponds in position to the internal occipital protuberance N11 and the confluence of venous sinuses on the internal surface of the skull N145, and it lies at the level of the tentorium cerebelli N105.
• Coronal suture: the cranial suture that joins the frontal bone with the parietal bone. N6 N9 N14
• ABOUT: The project was made possible by several very dedicated faculty and staff at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill--especially O.W. Henson and Noelle A. Granger--and partner schools, and by a grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education of the US Department of Education. This channel includes over 400 short videos highlighting the steps in a full-body human dissection in the gross anatomy lab. Each step is narrated and key structures labeled.
