Human Development Medical Foundations
Human development Comic strip • Create a comic strip that depicts a person aging from 6 weeks to 70 and older. You should have 21 boxes. Using white paper, draw pictures to represent each stage of development. • You should use captions to help explain what is occurring, or write a description below the picture. Choose three colors to outline the boxes as either: Fetal and Infant Stage, Preteen Years or Preadolescent Years, Adulthood. See the example on the board.
Fetal Development poster • Measure out the fetus during each month of development by drawing a straight line to represent the length. • Next to the straight line, write one of the developmental milestones that occurs during that month.
Measuring baby • So how does a doctor figure out whether a child's height and weight measurements are "normal"? Whether he or she is developing on track? Whether any health problems are affecting growth?
CDC Percentile charts • For example, an unusually large head may be a sign of hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid inside the brain. A head that's smaller than average may be a sign that the brain is not developing properly or has stopped growing. • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created the growth charts that are most commonly used in the United States. They were last updated in 2000. • Let's say that 4-year-old boy, who is in the 10th percentile for weight, is also in the 10th percentile for height. So 10% of kids are shorter and weigh less than he does, and most kids — 90% — are taller and weigh more. That just means that he's smaller than average, which usually doesn't mean there is a problem.
Commonly used standard growth charts include: Ages birth to 36 months (3 years): Ages 2 to 20 years: Boys' length- and weight-for-age Girls' length- and weight-for-age Girls' head circumference-for-age and weight-for-length Boys' head circumference-for-age and weight-for-length Girls' stature- and weight-for-age Boys' stature- and weight-for-age Girls ' weight-for-stature (height) Boys' weight-for-stature (height)
