Presentation
List the three presentations:

- shoulder
Presenting part is the most ___________ part of the fetus, or the part felt during a _________ _______.
dependent; vaginal exam
In a cephalic presentation, the presenting part could be ________, ___________, or __________.
vertex, brow, or face.
What is the occiput and where is it located?
Occipital bone; behind the posterior fontanelle (back of the fetal head)
What is the sinciput and where is it located?
