The apex lies higher in the chest and further to the left than inthe Fig. 107.—Natural Size of Bowles Stethoscope for Examining Children. 2. The apex beat is hard to detect in the infant. In the child palpa-tion shows this easier than in the adult. 3. The area of dullness is comparatively large. (There are threestages in infancy and childhood during which differences are noted in rela-tive and absolute dullness.) (See Figs. 103^ 104, and 105.)
