Fetul skull

Hi guys

Am having a bit of a nightmare trying to find an answer to a fetul skull workbook we have. I've looked in loads of books but can't seem to find it, although i know it's got to be there somewhere!!!! I find about centres but cannot find 3 diff names. ARGH!

Question is

There are 3 main centres of ossification on the fetal skull - what are these?

Am pulling my hair out, literally!!!! lol

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Argh.....just seen i spelt fetal wrong on the subject. Says it all really lol!

Well I could get mine out to help you, but I havent actually filled it in yet! Opps!

Groovychick is right. Found a bit in Myles about ossification (p157 in the 14th edition). The paragraph afterwards is about the 5 bones of the vault in the foetal skull, listed as:
the occipital bone
the two parietal bones
the two frontal bones
