Below are side-view drawings of an infant's head. Note the nugget of extra fat, known as the "buccal pad." The buccal pad contributes to babies' chubby cheeks and diminishes when the infant is about a year old. Drawings two and three depict arrangements of the jaw and throat muscles.

Drawing 2: The Inner Ear
In this series of drawings, Bartner shows in increasing detail the vestibule organs of the inner ear responsible for balance. The three curved canals of the inner ear detect when the head rotates, and the two small organs they join (the otolith organs) detect when the head moves linearly. That's why an infection in your inner ear may affect your balance.
