Abstract:
Skull anatomy and development have been extensively studied due to their significance in evolutionary biology, forensic anthropology, and clinical medicine. Bone collections are an indispensable resource for conducting such anthropological and anatomical studies. However, worldwide there are only few skull collections containing specimens covering the entire fetal and postnatal period. Herein we describe the Zagreb Skull Collection, an identified collection comprising more than 1100 skulls and skull bone sets from the early fetal period to centenarians. The Zagreb Skull Collection consists of two main parts: the unique Collection of Skull Bones containing 386 sets of separated skull bones from the early fetal period to adulthood and the Collection of Skulls containing 742 skulls (age range 4-101 years). The collection was the core source for numerous anatomical studies on the development, postnatal changes, and anatomical variations of the skull. However, the Zagreb Skull Collection is still an underexploited resource for anthropological, forensic, and anatomical studies with translatability to contemporary clinical practice.
摘要:
由于其在进化生物学中的重要性,颅骨的解剖和发育已被广泛研究。法医人类学,和临床医学。骨收集是进行此类人类学和解剖学研究的不可或缺的资源。然而,世界上只有很少的头骨收集包含覆盖整个胎儿和出生后时期的标本。在这里,我们描述萨格勒布头骨收藏,从胎儿早期到百岁老人,包括1100多个头骨和头骨。萨格勒布头骨收藏包括两个主要部分:独特的头骨收藏,包含386套从胎儿早期到成年的分离头骨,以及包含742个头骨(年龄范围4-101岁)的头骨收藏。该集合是许多关于发展的解剖学研究的核心来源,出生后的变化,和头骨的解剖变异。然而,萨格勒布头骨收藏仍然是人类学未开发的资源,法医,和解剖学研究与当代临床实践的可译性。
