Morpho-functional and Psychiatric Aspects Children at the Age of 10-14 Years

Abstract

This paper refers to the particularities of somatic, functional, and psychiatric development of children aged 10-14 years. The morphofunctional changes that take place during the preadolescence period are essential, displaying themselves through the intensity of growth, especially physical growth, which is characterized by a superior rhythm in comparison with other periods of ontogenetic development. This period is characterized by intensified growth (especially in stature) with the obvious development of secondary sexual characteristics. This is the site of the mental age of the ontogenetic stage of shaping individuality and human conduct.
