Study on the Korean adult cranial capacity

Abstract

Cranial capacity was measured in Korean adult skulls. The cavity was filled with rice seeds and the volume of the seeds were measured in a graduated cylinder. The results were 1470 +/- 107 (mean +/- standard deviation) in male and 1317 +/- 117 cc in female skulls. These values were in good accordance with those previously reported. In addition, regression formulae were obtained with the product of the length, breadth, and height of the skull as an independent parameter and the measured capacity as a dependent one. With known external measurements, the expected cranial capacity was as follows: when using baso-bregmatic height, male: capacity = 307.5 + 333 x 10(-6) x (length.breadth.baso-bregmatic height) female: capacity = -12.0 + 435 x 10(-6) x (length.breadth.baso-bregmatic height) and, when using auriculo-bregmatic height, male: capacity = 214.6 + 429 x 10(-6) x (length.breadth.auriculo-bregmatic height) female: capacity = 131.6 + 461 x 10(-6) x (length.breadth.auriculo-bregmatic height).

MRI-based volumetry of head compartments: Normative values of healthy adults

“…First, autopsy studies have been carried out systematically for more than 100 years now (Blinkov and Glezer, 1968;Chrzanowska and Beben, 1973;Debakan and Sadowsky, 1978;Hwang et al, 1995;Miller et al, 1980;Peters et al, 2000;Svennerholm et al, 1997). Because real volumes and weights are measured, data from autopsy studies may be considered as the ''gold standard''.…”

Study of Cranial Capacity & Its Sexual Dimorphism in Adult Human Skulls

“…The results were 1470 +/-107 in male and 1317 +/-117 cc in female skull. [11] The mean cranial capacity of 100 male and 60 female skulls and found the value as 1302.95 +/-108.8 C.C. (range 1070-1560 C.C.)…”

Studies of Cranial Capacity between the Ages of 14 – 20 Yrs of Ogidi People of Anambra State, Nigeria.

“…This has been thought to be one of the commonest items in physical anthropological studies 13 . In the past, several studies have been carried out to estimate the cranial capacity.…”
