Answer to q. 1

The body changes identified in the chapter other than sexual characteristics are as follows:
(a) The head, hands, and feet usually begin to grow first.
(b) Next comes growth in the arms and legs.
(c) Finally, the trunk and shoulders start to grow.
- These first three sets of changes can cause the body to feel and look out of proportion until things balance themselves out.
(d) During the growth spurt bones become longer and denser.
(e) Muscle fibers become thicker and denser, leading to increased musculature (more so in boys), and body fat increases (more rapidly in girls).
(f) Heart and lung capacities increase, again more rapidly in boys than in girls.
