DEVELOPMENT

3. The term growth refers to dimensional augmentation ,
cellular multiplication or quantitative changes in size ,
weight and number.

4. It is the process of functional and physiological maturation of the
individual. It is progressive increase in skill and capacity to function.

7. Growth :
 Changes are quantitative in
nature
 Not continuous process
 Part of development process
 Change takes place in
particular aspect of the body
 Changes are measurable
 Growth may or may not
bring development
Development :
 Changes are quantitative
& qualitative in nature
 Continuous process
 Wider and comprehensive
term
 Change takes place in
the organism as a
whole
 Development is possible with
out Growth.

8. • Cephalocauda direction
• Proximodistal direction
• Large muscle before small

9. The process of Cephalo-
caudal (superior – inferior
) direction from head down
to tail. This means that
improvement in structure
and function come first in
the head region, then in the
trunk, and last in the leg
region.

10. The process in Proximodistal
from center or midline to
periphery direction.
development proceeds from
near to far - outward from
central axis of the body toward
the extremities

11. • Even though larger muscles usually develop before
smaller muscles, more advanced motor abilities require
children to coordinate large motor skills with small motor.
