Summary

DescriptionHuman skull side bones.svg	English: the adult skull is normally made up of 22 bones. Except for the mandible, all of the bones of the skull are joined together by sutures, semi-rigid articulations formed by bony ossification, the presence of Sharpey's fibres permitting a little flexibility Français : Le crâne humain adulte est constitué de 22 os. À l'exception de la mandibule, tous les os du crâne sont reliés entre eux par des sutures, articulations semi-rigides formées par ossification. La présence des fibres de Sharpey permettent une certaine flexibilité. Afrikaans: Die volwasse skedel bestaan gewoonlik uit 22 bene. Al hierdie bene, behalwe die kakebeen (mandibel), is aanmekaar verbind deur hegtings, semi-rigiede artikulasies wat deur been-ossifikasie gevorm is. Die teenwoordigheid van Sharpey se vesels laat 'n klein mate van buigsaamheid toe.

The file size of this SVG image may be abnormally large because most or all of its text has been converted to paths rather than using the more conventional <text> element. Unless rendering the text of the SVG file produces an image with text that is incurably unreadable due to technical limitations, it is highly recommended to change the paths back to text. Doing so will ease the process of localizing this image to other languages and is likely to reduce the file size in a significant scale. Other SVGs containing path-based text can be found at Category:Path text SVG. For more information, see SVG: Fonts and Preparing images for upload: Text.
