The Fontanelles Most importantly allow for the human skull to pass through the birth canal and are vital in allowing the brain to grow inside the skull without increasing the intercranial pressure.
fetal skull moulding is the change in the shape of the fetal head during its passage in the birth canal.
Spaces between skull bones that have not ossified usually occur from birth to age two and are called fontanels. By age two, the fontanels close and become sutures.

Fontanels
they allow the skull to compress slightly during birth.
The fontanels allow the fetal skull to be compressed slightly during birth and also allow for brain growth during late fetal life.

Well, first of all.Fontanelsare spot spots in the skull that allows the skull to expand as the brain increases in size & also helps the fetal skull flex and squeeze through the birth canal during delivery. Adults lack fontanels because by the time you are an adult, your brain is already fully developed and by the age of four, most of the bones in the skull have ossified across the their fontanels.
