Answer:

If the scull is fused the individual is not a baby

Explanation:

If a skull is found, one of the first things to do is classify by age. Careful observation will show that the skull may or may not be fused. Noteworthy observations could give the professional an idea of the individual's age.

In the womb when the bones of the skull are being formed thre are typically seven bones with gaps in between. This allows the infant to pass safely through the birth canal but giving way to squeezing and the contractions of the uterus. After the child is born there are still remaining gaps. These gaps allow the brain to grow and develop without pressure from the skull. This can often be observed by a soft spot on the top of the infant's head sometimes called a "mole"

Around two years of age, these bones begin to fuse and harden.  Therefore if a skull is found with fused bones, the individual can be placed to be older than two years of age. Other determining factors such as teeth etc can narrow down the individual's age.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Klinglers iron agar medium is used to find the enterobacteria which can ferment glucose , lactose and hydrogen Sulphide . They are H₂S producing bacteria .

This media have phenol red as an indicator. When the glucose is fermented to acid , the production of acid turn the indicator from red to yellow, but it is then reoxidised and turns red again . When lactose is fermented it produce large amount of acid , and turn indicator yellow . Hence the slant will become yellow.And combination of ferrous sulphate and sodium thiosulphate helps in detection of H₂S which produce black color at the butt .

The coronary arteries supply blood to cardiac tissue. Which chamber of the heart requires the greatest amount of blood supply to
kondor19780726 [428]

The coronary arteries supply blood to cardiac tissue. The left ventricle chamber of the heart requires the greatest amount of blood supply to keep it working.

Coronary arteries

The heart muscle receives blood from the coronary arteries. The heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood in order to operate, just like all other bodily components do. Blood that lacks oxygen must also be transported away. Outside of the heart, the coronary arteries encircle the organ.

The coronary artery that is blocked the most frequently is the LAD artery. The interventricular septum, and therefore bundle branches of the conducting system, receive their primary blood supply from it.
