    The occipito-posterior position has been thought to be a presentation leading to dystocia as a result of faulty positioning of the head. Closer observation of the facts lead one to think that this kind of position is really the result of better accommodation of the fetal head to the shapes of pelvis to which one has not become used but which are normal: this means those where the antero-posterior diameters are greater. By itself the occipito-posterior position cannot give rise to true complications. It only needs a particular mechanism. In deliveries in the occipito-posterior position progress and prognosis depend less on the presentation than on the conditions, especially the anatomical conditions, which have given rise to or made more likely the position and which go with it. It is therefore these conditions that have to be recognized each time and taken note of in order to carry out the best possible treatment.

    Anatomical Positions

    In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
    The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
    The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
    The arms are hanging by the...

    Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

    The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
    The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
