The term growth refers to
A- Increase in cell size and function B- Functional maturity
C- Increase in cell size D- Increase in intracellular substance
The term development refers to
A- Increase in cell size and function B- Functional maturity
C- Increase in cell size D- Increase in intracellular substance
Regarding intra uterine stage of growth (True or False)
- Embryonic period is devoted for organogenesis (T)
- Fetal period begins in 29th week of life (F)
- Teratogenic agent at late fetal period lead to abortion (F)
- The neonatal period is not a part of intra uterine stage (T)
By the end of 8 wks gestation, the weight of the embryo is
A- 5 gm B- 7 gm
C- 9 gm D- 12 gm
By the end of the 8 wks gestation the length of the embryo is
A- 5 cm B- 6 cm
C- 7 cm D- 8 cm
The late fetal period is characterized by (Oct 2018)
A- Growth in length more than in weight
B- Fetus is not viable
C- Abnormal events e.g. viruses can result in congenital anomalies
D- None of the above
E- All of the above
The process of growth ends at
A- Five years B- Fully mature adult
C- Birth D- 14 years
A neonate is an infant whose age
A- 0-4 weeks B- > 4 weeks
C- 4-8 weeks D- > 12 weeks

, General Pediatrics Growth & Development
Mention factors affecting growth & development (A)
-Factors affecting growth:
1- Before [FRCC]
2- During [DIDI - ↓ ↓]
3- After [HHASSSN]
-Factors affecting sphincteric control: (page 10)
1- Maturation of CNS (Pyramidal tract Myelination) ﻣﺦ ﻧﻈﯿﻒ
2- Muscular development of sphincter ﻋﻀﻼت
3- Mother training after 1.5 yr without punishment أم
-Factors affecting speech:
1- Good hearing & exposure to language → reception
2- Good mentality & healthy speech center → memorization
3- Good articulation organs (lips, palate, tongue,……) → production
Is growth hormone is important for fetal growth?
No it depends on placental hormones & HCG
The growth in female differs from male that females have
A- Slower growth rate B- Late growth spurt
C- Faster growth rate D- Earlier growth spurt
The faster weight gain is seen at
A- 1st year & puberty B- 2nd year
C- Puberty D- Infancy
Linear growth occurs fast in
A- Infancy B- Adolescence
C- School period D- A & B
Pattern of growth do not include (Oct 2017)
A- Genital B- Nervous
C- Visceral D- General
General pattern of growth do not include (Dec 2017)
A- CNS B- Bones
C- Muscles D- Soft tissue
