The author demonstrates how the sutures of the skull are not preformed but instead develop in response to the direction of blood vessels. The formation of different suture shapes is directly tied to the incidence of Haversian canals and their vessels on the suture. Furthermore, rather than sutures driving skull growth, the author posits that both are reactions to an underlying cause. Through ligature of the carotid arteries, the author induces localized necrosis of skull bone. He demonstrates that the skull then compensates for the weakened area by increasing growth in perpendicular directions as well as through the phenomenon of secondary narrowing. These experiments and observations challenge prevailing theories of skull growth and provide new insights into the complex processes that shape the skull. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
