hmmm, more so-called facts distributed via internet mailing list...
searchng on one of these...

------
Newborns do have kneecaps. Kneecaps form about the fourth month of fetal life. However, they don’t show up on x-ray very well because they’re not ossified, or bony. At this point in life, the kneecaps are made of a cartilaginous material. The growth centers surrounding the kneecap form late in developmental life in utero and may not appear until just before or just after the infant is born.

Remember, infants are a work in progress. The potential for linear bone growth may continue until the late teens or early twenties. Although all the precursor tissues for the major bones are present at or immediately after birth, centers of ossification (where bone is laid down) continue to develop throughout childhood and beyond. For instance, the head of the femur appears at four months, the patella, or kneecap, starts showing signs of ossification at about 3 years in females and 4-5 years of age in males.

How can someone not have a bellybutton. That is the scar where the umbilical cord attaches. :hmmm:

It may not have been prominent, but without an umbilical cord attached somewhere while in the womb --- Alfred would not be. :bawling:


Coolest part about babies is that their skull is in parts when they are born. This is so that the head can change shape coming out. Both of my sons had a cone shaped head for the first day or so. With a newborn, you can feel the soft spot on the top of their heads where they have no skull fused yet. Nature is so cool. :oooo:

No wonder he wrote such good scripts about really strange people.

My guess is elderly people as well as people who slip on wet floors. No easy for elderly people to get situated.
