Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The head does not triple in length between birth and maturity, and while the arms and legs do grow significantly, it is the lower parts of the body, such as the legs, that must do more growing to reach adult size compared to the upper parts, like the head. This is because at birth, a baby's head is much larger in proportion to the rest of its body than in an adult.
