Infant Skeleton Close View

This image of the infant skeleton is derived from a model developed by medical illustrators using both photographic and illustrative atlases to adapt the fully matured skeleton to that of a three-month-old infant, maintaining accuracy and anatomical integrity for the project at hand. Noticeable differences are seen especially in the cranial regions, where the fontanelles have yet to fully fuse together to allow growth of the infant brain. This image shows a close-up view of the full infant skeleton by itself, with no surrounding skin.
