And......

Question:

Are baby skulls soft enough to compress during birth if they are too large?

Left unaddressed is the question of why so many adults, especially conservatives, behave as though they are soft in the head. 😏

Answer

Yes, baby skulls are soft enough to compress during birth, even if they are relatively large. This is due to several key features of infant skull anatomy:

Flexible skull bones: A newborn's skull is made up of separate bony plates that are not yet fused together.
Sutures: These are fibrous bands of tissue that connect the skull bones, allowing for flexibility and movement.

Fontanelles: Also known as "soft spots," these are spaces between the skull bones that remain open in newborns and young infants.

These features allow the baby's head to compress and change shape during birth:

The skull bones can overlap as the head passes through the birth canal, a process called "molding."
This flexibility enables the baby's head to fit through the narrow birth canal, even if it's relatively large.

After birth, the skull typically returns to its normal shape within a few days to weeks.

This adaptability of the infant skull is crucial for both the baby's safe passage through the birth canal and to accommodate rapid brain growth during the first year of life.

You're right, Musk has a big head and is "full of shit" ignorant in more ways than a few. In his support of Donald Trump, his clear lack of caring for the essence of democracy is solid proof that he is much interested in the view of the common people. I didn't think i would see the day when America's democratic fabric would be put under so much stress by such authoritarians as the two.
