Question

Human skull is called

• A. dicondylic skull
• B. monocondylic skull
• C. tetracondylic skull
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A dicondylic skull

At the posterior end of cranium there are two rounded projections called the occipital condyles. They connect the skull with the vertebral column. Hence the skull is called a dicondylic skull.
In the case of birds there is only one occipital condyle. Thus it is monocondylic. There is no such term as tetracondylic skull.
