#44 A- brachial cyst, I know they are antero medial to the sternocleido mastoid, but they can also be posterior to it. I could also find a link supporting it. let me try to find that. Will post the link as soon as I get it, I think it said from the 2nd arch it will be posterior to SCM. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retr...

To Peraspera.......... the Question asks specifically of MALE Child OF IV-9 Thus making the answer A 0%.

Greatest influence on the Predictive Value of the Test for Neural Tube Defects. Some ppl say its C but that doesnt seem as a plausible answer but D seems as such. Comments will be appreciated.

they say that its in the rest of the segments and a single sperm can lead to a chance of a pregnancy so then left overs of sperms r chked after 2 mnths and 3 mnths of Vassectomy before terming the pt sterile.
