Basibregmatic

/ˌbeɪsɪbrɛɡˈmætɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the bregma (the meeting point of cranial bones in the skull) and the base of the skull together.

Etymology

From 'basial' (base) + 'bregmatic' (from Greek 'bregma' meaning front of the head). An anatomical term combining two skull landmarks.

Kelly Says

Your skull has several important points where bones meet—the 'basibregmatic' measurement connects the top-front meeting point (bregma) with the skull's base, helping anthropologists study human skull shape and evolution.
