Cranial integration in Homo: singular warps analysis of the midsagittal plane in ontogeny and evolution.

Bookstein FL, Gunz P, Mitteroecker P, Prossinger H, Schaefer K, Seidler H.

This study addresses some enduring issues of ontogenetic and evolutionary integration in the form of the hominid cranium. Our sample consists of 38 crania: 20 modern adult Homo sapiens, 14 sub-adult H. sapiens, and four archaic Homo. All specimens were CT-scanned except for two infant H. sapiens, who were imaged by MR instead. For each specimen 84 landmarks and semi-landmarks were located on the midsagittal plane and converted to Procrustes shape coordinates. Integration was quantified by the method of singular warps, a new geometric-statistical approach to visualizing correlations among regions. The two classic patterns of integration, evolutionary and ontogenetic, were jointly explored by comparing analyses of overlapping subsamples that span ranges of different hypothetical factors. Evolutionary integration is expressed in the subsample of 24 adult Homo, and ontogenetic integration in the subsample of 34 H. sapiens. In this data set, vault, cranial base, and **face** show striking and localized patterns of covariation over ontogeny, similar but not identical to the patterns seen over evolution. The principal differences between ontogeny and phylogeny pertain to the cranial base. There is also a component of cranial length to height ratio not reducible to either process. Our methodology allows a separation of these independent processes (and their impact on cranial shape) that conventional methods have not found.

The sphenoid bone is a complex structure with an intricate embryologic origin. It is centrally located within the skull base and articulates with almost every structure in the skull and **face**. The sphenoid bone contains multiple foramina and fissures accommodating numerous vessels and nerves. This report reviews the embryology of the sphenoid bone and its normal postnatal changes, and describes the normal anatomy of the sphenoid bone and its numerous foramina and fissures. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) are used....




You could also say \"FACIAL BONES\":
MRI of the facial bones, with and without (contrast agent).

Thanks Elena.
I thought of maxillo facial but that means just the mandibles but this was a Magnetic Resonance of the entire face..

yet if you could give an entire sentence that wouldn't harm;))))))))

there might be other ways of rendering "massiccio facciale" depending on the context, although it basically indicates the face skeleton, its bones

I would say: maxillo-facciale


Explanation:
I think you are talking of
maxillo-facciale : maxillofacial.

'Massiccio' does not make too much sense to me.
Can you give more context please?

Reference: Massiccio facciale > midface

Reference information:
The maxillae are the largest of the pneumatized bones
of the midface; they contain the maxillary air sinuses and bear the upper
teeth. The mandible bears the lower teeth and articulates with the temporal
bones at the temporomandibular joints. The skull articulates with
the first cervical vertebra (atlas); movements of the skull on the cervical
vertebrae occur at the atlanto-occipital joints.

Gray's Anatomy, Chapter 26 page. 404 (41st edition)

Example sentence(s):
  • LA TAC DEL MASSICCIO FACCIALE CONFERMA LA DEVIAZIONE COMPLESSA DEL SETTO NASALE.
