HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Look for the sagittal suture – the squiggly line that runs the length of the skull – and note whether is it’s completely fused. If it is, the remains are likely to be of someone older than 35. Look for a second line at the front of the skull–the coronal suture – which fully fuses by age 40.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bones that enclose the brain grow together during childhood along lines called cranial sutures. During adulthood, bone “remodeling” may gradually erase these lines, at variable rates. Closure of cranial sutures gives general information about a person’s age.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sutures allow the bones to move during the birth process. They act like an expansion joint. This allows the bone to enlarge evenly as the brain grows and the skull expands. The result is a symmetrically shaped head.

Detailed explanation-4: -This fontanelle originates at the intersection of the frontal suture, the coronal suture, and the sagittal suture. This fontanelle is open at birth and generally fuses around 18 to 24 months after birth.
