Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So when is the cranium the largest in relation to the facial skeleton? As answer Joyce A, we have a birth B during childhood c during adolescence B during adulthood. Well, I want you to just recall if you've ever seen a baby or a what we call a neonate, a newborn. These newborns are going to have a largest cranium related to their facial skeleton related to choose the lower part of their head. And because of this, we say that babies or these neonates usually are going to have the large, the largest cranium in relation to the facial skeleton compared to all other stages of our lives. And therefore the correct answer here is going to be a at birth or when we have a neonate baby. This is the correct answer for a question. I really hope this helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
