Paul viewed his newborn daughter through the nursery window at the hospital and was distressed because the infant’s skull was badly misshapen. A nurse told him not to worry— the shape of the infant’s head would return to normal in a few days. What caused the misshapen skull, and what anatomic feature of the neonatal skull allows it to return to a more rounded shape?
Lily had ignored the little mole on her right forearm until it turned into a large black patch. On examining the growth, the doctor asked Lily to get some tests done. When the test results came back, the doctor saw that it said “metastasis to the lumbar vertebrae.” What do you think has happened to Lily?
While working at an excavation, an archaeologist finds several small skull bones. She examines the frontal, parietal, and occipital bones and concludes that the skulls are those of children not yet one year old. How can she tell their ages from examining these bones?
