    Study Notes

    Assessment of Growth and Development

    • Head circumference is used to assess the growth of the brain.
    • Height for children between 2-12 years of age is measured using the formula: stature = Recumbent Length (RL) + 0.7 cm.
    • Skinfold thickness is used to assess malnutrition.

    Measuring Height

    • For children under 2 years of age, height is measured using the formula: stature = Recumbent Length (RL) + 0.7 cm.
    • The correct method to measure height for children under 2 years of age is using the recumbent length.

    Fetal Growth

    • During the 2nd week of fetal growth, the embryoblast layer is formed.
    • At the 8th week of fetal growth, the fetus measures approximately 2.5 cm.
    • The hormone responsible for surfactant production starting at the 24th week of fetal growth is cortisol.
    • At the 28th week of fetal growth, the fetus weighs approximately 1 kg.
    • At the 39th week of fetal growth, the fetus measures approximately 50 cm.

    Dental Development

    • The correct order of deciduous dentition eruption is: lower central incisors, upper central incisors, lower lateral incisors, upper lateral incisors, canines, and finally, molars.
    • The correct order of permanent dentition eruption is: 1st molars, central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, 2nd molars, and finally, 3rd molars.

    General Growth and Development

    • Growth in children is influenced by age and sex.
    • Body proportions in children change with age and sex.
    • Weight changes in newborns: they lose weight in the first few days after birth and then gain weight.
    • Genetic factors do not affect growth.
