Neonatal growth and anatomy are crucial aspects of early development. During the neonatal period, which extends from birth to one month of age, rapid growth occurs, particularly in organ systems such as the brain, lungs, and digestive tract. Neonates have unique anatomical features, including a fontanelle (soft spot) on the skull and a proportionally larger head compared to the rest of the body. Understanding neonatal growth and anatomy is essential for providing appropriate medical care and support during this critical stage of life.
