Question

question
why can the skull be distorted without damage during birth?
answer
fusion of the ossification centers is complete.
the shape and structure of the cranial elements are elastic.
fibrous connective tissue connects the cranial bones.
the brain is large enough to support the skull.
i dont know yet

Explanation:

The skull of a newborn has fontanelles (soft - spots) which are areas of fibrous connective tissue connecting the cranial bones. This allows the skull to be distorted during birth without damage. When ossification centers are complete, the skull would be rigid and less able to distort. While cranial elements have some elasticity, the key factor is the fibrous connective tissue. The brain's size is not the main reason for the skull's ability to distort during birth.

Answer:

Fibrous connective tissue connects the cranial bones.
