Growth - answer increase in number and size of cells as they divide and synthesize new
proteins; results in increased size and weight of the whole or any of its parts
Development - answer the emerging and expanding of the individual's capacities
through growth, maturation, and learning; gradual change and expansion
stages of growth and development (INFANT) - answerbirth-1 year

stages of growth and development (school-age) - answer6-12 years
stages of growth and development (adolescence) - answer12-18 years
cephalocaudal growth trend - answer from head to tail
Proximodistal growth trend - answer “Near to far"
Extremities grow later than head, chest, and trunk
sequential trends - answer In all dimensions of growth and development, there is a
definite, predictable sequence, with each child passing through every stage; crawl
before they creep, creep before they stand
when are distinct differences in developmental pace noticed among children - answeras
they reach developmental milestones
