Description: | There are 10 skeletons, around 40 mounted bony specimens, approximately 2000 individual bones and 71 skulls in the Anatomy and Pathology collection. Other material of related interest includes a cast of the skull of Bishop James Kennedy, founder of St Salvator's College (died 1465). The skulls represent both sexes and various age groups and races. Of particular note are the skulls of Inca origin, some of which bear evidence of the practice of binding the head in childhood to produce a distorted appearance.
Due to the nature of the Anatomy and Pathology Collection, access is subject to legal restrictions, and is by appointment only to legitimate enquirers. | Subjects: | SKULL bone EDUCATION ANATOMY AND PATHOLOGY SKELETON | Source: | University of St Andrews | Address: | KY16 9AJ | Creator: | University of St Andrews | Contributor: | University of St Andrews | Identifier: | MSAM:C73 | Language: | en-GB | Relation: | MC:C48 |
