Mnemonic:
- Larger the alphabets, larger the diameter (V>F>B)
- Diameters with “sub” prefix are smaller than counterpart without it.
Mnemonic: MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) in increasing order.
Some important terminologies Gene: a functional part of the DNA molecule of a chromosome which directs the synthesis of a specific polypeptide chain. Allele (allelomorph): alternative form of a gene found at the same locus on a pair of homologous chromosomes. Homozygous: the presence of two identical alleles at a…
4-6 weeks of gestation: By 7 weeks of gestation: By 11 weeks of gestation: Late gestation: Postnatal: The acetabulum is deepened by the natural pressure from the developing femoral head on the acetabulum. Hips in newborns with developmental dysplasia are not just normal hips with capsular laxity; they are structurally…
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Production and Absorption CSF is produced by the choroid plexus that lines the ventricles. Choroid plexus = Infoldings of blood vessels of piamater + Modified ciliated ependymal cells Tight junctions of the choroid plexus cells form Blood-CSF barrier. CSF is reabsorbed by arachnoid granulations to enter dural…
Very useful information
why is submentovertical diameter less than mentovertical
Because it is measured from a closer point to the back of the head.
Bcz it is made by God n we can not change it
submento is from the side of the chin to vertex.so that is why it is smaller than mento vertical.
Pic is informative, could have been more clear graphically
