The "soft spots" in a baby's skull are referred to as fontanels.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Fontanels are the areas of a baby's skull where the bones have not yet fused together, creating a flexible and resilient structure that allows for brain growth and an easier passage through the birth canal during delivery. There are usually two fontanels on a newborn's head: one at the front (anterior) and one at the back (posterior). Over time, these fontanels will close as the bones of the skull gradually harden and become more solid.
