This document contains a 10 question pretest on fetal head anatomy. It asks multiple choice questions about the cranial bones, sutures, and fontanels of the fetal skull. Specifically, it addresses which bones make up the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital bones. It also defines the sagittal, coronal and lambdoidal sutures and describes the anterior and posterior fontanels in terms of their shape, location and closure timing. Finally, it asks about the biparietal, bitemporal, occipitomental and occipitofrontal diameters and their descriptions.
