Calvaria
Definition:
(n.) The bones of the cranium; more especially, the bones of the domelike upper portion.

(19) Synthetic bovine PTH increased cyclic AMP levels to a greater degree in calvaria and in isolated bone cells than in the periosteal segments and cells, whereas sCT was more effective in the periosteal than in the bone systems.
(20) In previous studies we demonstrated that PTH stimulates production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by intact chick calvaria.
Skullcap
Definition:
(n.) A cap which fits the head closely; also, formerly, a headpiece of iron sewed inside of a cap for protection.
(n.) Any plant of the labiate genus Scutellaria, the calyx of whose flower appears, when inverted, like a helmet with the visor raised.
(n.) The Lophiomys.
