Increased head circumference. Increased head circumference is when the measured distance around the widest part of the skull is larger than expected for the child's age and background. A newborn's head is usually about 2 cm (centimeters) larger than the chest size. Between 6 months and 2 years, both measurements are about equal. After 2 years, the chest size becomes larger than the head.
Joints allow motion (articulation). The joints in the spine are commonly called Facet Joints. Other names for these joints are Zygapophyseal or Apophyseal Joints. Each vertebra has two sets of facet joints. One pair faces upward (superior articular facet) and one downward (inferior articular facet).There is one joint on each side (right and left).he joints in the spine are commonly called Facet Joints. Other names for these joints are Zygapophyseal or Apophyseal Joints. Each vertebra has two sets of facet joints. One pair faces upward (superior articular facet) and one downward (inferior articular facet).
Each of its individual bones (vertebrae) is linked to its neighboring bones at two main points: the cushioning spinal discs, which sit between the main bodies of each pair of vertebrae, and joints called facet joints, which sit on the segment of each bone behind the spinal canal.
