Table 2 –
Median proportional palatal segment lengths for limb-based embryonic ages and postnatal age categories, presented as percentages of total palatal length with Q1 and Q3 in parentheses. Categories with enough samples for pairwise statistical comparisons are included. See Fig. 9 for associated boxplots.
