Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cephalocaudal and proximodistal sequences of ossification refer to the pattern in which bones harden and fuse together during development. Cephalocaudal sequence means that bones in the head and upper body regions develop and harden before those in the lower body regions, while proximodistal sequence refers to the pattern in which bones closest to the center of the body, such as those in the hands and feet, develop before bones in the limbs. Therefore, choice C is correct because bones in the hands and wrist harden before those in the feet.
