Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The temporomandibular joint is just below the temporal artery and anterior to the tragus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Hydrocephalus occurs with the obstruction of drainage of cerebrospinal fluid that results in excessive accumulation, increasing intracranial pressure, and an enlargement of the head. The face looks small, compared with the enlarged cranium, and dilated scalp veins and downcast or setting sun eyes are noted. Craniotabes is a softening of the skull's outer layer. Microcephaly is an abnormally small head. A caput succedaneum is edematous swelling and ecchymosis of the presenting part of the head caused by birth trauma.
