  • aju- ja näokoljust koosnev skeletiosa
  • skeletal framework of the head of vertebrates, composed of bones or cartilage, which form a unit that protects the brain and some sense organs
  • The upper jaw, but not the lower, is part of the skull.
kolju
Usage examples
  • Kolju (cranium) koosneb 29-st luust, kui kaasa arvata kaela ja pea piiril muust luustikust eraldi olev keeleluu. Täiskasvanud inimese koljuluud üksteise suhtes ei liigu, sest neid ühendavad pinnad on ebatasased (sideühend). Erandiks on keele- ja alalõualuu ning mõlema keskkõrva kuulmeluukesed. Kolju liigub tervikuna kuklaluu ja atlase vaheliste liigesepindade abil.
