Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proximodistal development refers to growth and development that occurs from the center of the body outwards, such as the development of arm and leg muscles before the fingers and toes. Cephalocaudal development refers to growth and development that occurs from the head downwards, such as the development of the brain before the legs. Neurogenesis and synaptogenesis refer specifically to the growth and development of neurons and their connections, respectively, but do not describe the overall pattern of prenatal development.
