Figure 12: (a) Graphic representation of the averaged standardized co-ordinates defined for 10 points on the lateral side of the skulls of the control group (n=20) set in a rectangular coordinate system with reference to SSO-SL; SSO (spheno-occipital synchondrosis), SL (lambdoid suture), Sc (coronary suture), SNA (anterior nasal spine), P (tooth socket of minor incisor), MC1-4 (molar complex); (b) Diagrams of facial skeleton of rabbit skulls from 1 day old to 24 weeks; dotted areas represent the molar complex in the youngest and oldest skulls; “extra growth”, of the facial skeleton ((N,SNA,P) compared to the brain skull (SL,SC,SSO).
