Skull Profile Measurements

1.    base height--measured from external auditory meatus (ear canal) to the external occipital protuberance (back of skull)
2.    skull height 1--from ear canal to the top of the skull just posterior to the orbit
3.    brain height--along the line of skull height 1, but stopping at the bright temporal line
4.    skull height 2--from ear canal to the top of the skull anterior to the orbit
5.    nose length--from ear canal to internasal septum (bump on anterior surface)
6.    skull length 1--from ear canal to prosthion (root of incisive teeth)
7.    skull length 2--from prosthion to external occipital protuberance
8.    facial height--from the back of the bright palate to the top of the skull anterior to the orbit
9.    orbit length--anterior to posterior distance of the orbit
10.  orbit height--from inferior "V" to the top of the orbit perpendicular to the orbit length
11.  mandible--length of the mandible from the base of the incisive teeth to condyloid crest (posterior notch)
12.  coronoid--length of this process from condyloid crest (on mandible measurement) to tip of coronoid process
13.  mandible height--root of the large molar perpendicular to the bottom of the mandible
14.  cervical--sum of the first four cervical vertebrae from the superior notch of the atlas to the posterior midpoint of C4
15.  axis height--the narrowest distance between the upper and lower curve of the vertebra
16.  spinous length--distance along the spinous process of the axis from the points nearest the vertebra
