Correct Answer - Option 2 : Proximo distal Sequence
Development: The term development” is generally used to refer to the dynamic process by which an individual grows and changes throughout its life-span. It is often thought of as the process of qualitative change taking place from conception to death. In this way, development is a broad term and deals with all areas including physical, motor, cognitive, physiological, social, emotional, and personality. It should be noted that developments in all these areas are inter-related.
-
Cephalo - Caudal Sequence: The direction of development is from head to limbs i.e, in longitudinal axis called ‘cephalocaudal.
-
Proximo distal Sequence: The spinal cord develops before the outer parts of the body. The child's arms develop before the hands and the hands and feet develop before the fingers and toes. The direction of development is from the center to the periphery called ‘proximodistal’.
-
Locomotion Sequence: Various kinds of motions such as walking, running, jumping, swimming, etc. by the body are known as locomotion. Movement is one of the characteristic features of all living organisms. Locomotion helps us to move from one place to another.
-
Bilateral Sequence: The human body plan is bilateral with symmetrical sense organs, a fast responding brain, half the body weight in muscles, a powerful heart, and miles of arteries and veins, and a brain that coordinates it all.
Hence, we can conclude that the Proximo distal Sequence is appropriate when development proceeds from the center to the peripheral areas of the body.
