Innovative technique to disarticulate the human skull

By Julián David Gómez Gracia, Deicy Lorena León Perez, Yobany Quijano Blanco

A technique for the disarticulation of skull bones for academic, didactic and research purposes is described. This technique consists of the introduction of dry or dehydrated seeds in the different cranial cavities, followed by their immersion in a container with water. This causes the hydration of the seeds, increasing their volume and generating an increase in pressure inside the cranial cavities, which leads to their subsequent disarticulation.Through this process, all the bones that make up the neurocranium, the chondrocranium and the vicerocranium are obtained. By separating the bones in this way, all the anatomical details are preserved, including their three-dimensionality and their characteristic anatomical elements. This enhances the learning possibilities by preserving every detail of the anatomical pieces, as well as the research and extension processes, since it provides the opportunity to create exhibitions with the pieces obtained.
