Splanchnocranium
In this article we will explore in depth Splanchnocranium, a topic that has captured the attention of various disciplines and that arouses great interest in today's society. Splanchnocranium is a topic that has been the subject of debate and study for a long time, and its relevance is still evident today. Throughout this article, we will examine the various facets of Splanchnocranium, from its origins to its impact on everyday life, as well as possible implications for the future. In order to provide a complete view of Splanchnocranium, we will analyze its positive and negative aspects, as well as its possible consequences on a personal, social and global level. Additionally, we will highlight the most recent research related to Splanchnocranium, with the goal of providing an up-to-date view of this constantly evolving topic.
The splanchnocranium (or visceral skeleton) is the portion of the cranium that is derived from pharyngeal arches. Splanchno indicates to the gut because the face forms around the mouth, which is an end of the gut.[1] The splanchnocranium consists of cartilage and endochondral bone. In mammals, the splanchnocranium comprises the three ear ossicles (i.e., incus, malleus, and stapes), as well as the alisphenoid, the styloid process, the hyoid apparatus, and the thyroid cartilage.[2]
In other tetrapods, such as amphibians and reptiles, homologous bones to those of mammals, such as the quadrate, articular, columella, and entoglossus are part of the splanchnocranium.[2]
