Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cephalocaudal development means that growth and development start from the top of the body and progress downward. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Proximodistal development refers to growth that proceeds from the center of the body outward. Sarcopenia refers to age-related muscle loss, and lateralization refers to the specialization of certain functions in the left or right hemisphere of the brain. Neither of these options relates to the direction of growth and development.
