[The structural typology of the human cerebral cranium]

819 skulls (250 of them were represented as frontal sections) obtained from men and women of different age were examined in order to study the variability of human cerebral cranium biomechanical stability to external mechanical influences and to work out its morphological constructional typology. Methods were based considering cerebral cranium as a coat, approximating to half of the rotation ellipsoid in shape. The following craniotypes are the extreme types of cerebral cranium construction stability, a) morphologically-stable one, where strength is provided both by great bone thickness and small curvature radiuses, 6) structurally-stable, in which strength is provided by great bone thickness, B) configurationally stable in which strength is provided by curvature small radiuses, r) morphologically unstable with small bone thickness and great curvature radiuses. Phylo-ontogenetic dynamics of human cerebral cranium construction stability was followed up.
