a. parietal ridge
b. occipital bone
c. apex
d. four corners
reference point how to locate the reference point
feel the back of the skull or place a comb flat against the nape and see where the comb leaves the head
one of two ways to find this reference point: make two diagonal lines crossing the apex, which then point directly to the front and back
find the area by placing a comb flat on the side of the head; this reference point is where the head starts to curve away from the comb
locate the area by placing a comb flat on the top of the head; the comb will rest on the highest point
one of two ways to find this reference point: place two combs flat against the side and back, then locate the back at the point where the two combs meet

1. label the main areas of the head.

Explanation:

1. "Feel the back of the skull or place a comb flat against the nape and see where the comb leaves the head" - This describes finding the occipital bone which is at the back of the skull.
2. "One of two ways to find this reference point: make two diagonal lines crossing the apex, which then point directly to the front and back" - This is related to the four - corners reference point.
3. "Find the area by placing a comb flat on the side of the head; this reference point is where the head starts to curve away from the comb" - This describes the parietal ridge.
4. "Locate the area by placing a comb flat on the top of the head; the comb will rest on the highest point" - This is the apex.
5. "One of two ways to find this reference point: place two combs flat against the side and back, then locate the back at the point where the two combs meet" - This also describes the four - corners reference point.

Answer:

1. b. occipital bone
2. d. four corners
3. a. parietal ridge
4. c. apex
5. d. four corners
