Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The membranous areas between the cranial bones of the fetal skull are called fontanelles. These areas allow for flexibility during birth and growth of the brain. Sutures are the fibrous joints between the cranial bones in adults. Wormian bones are extra small bones that sometimes occur within sutures. Foramina are openings in bones for nerves and vessels to pass through. Fibrocartilaginous discs are found in joints, not in the fetal skull.
