1. Ch. 20 Growth & Development
2. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Prenatal Period
Begins at conception and continues until birth (about 39 weeks).
Science of fetal growth called embryology.
Fertilization to development requires 10 days.
Occurs in outer 1/3 of oviduct.
Fertilized ovum called zygote, is genetically complete.
After 3 days of cell division, zygote develops into a morula.
3. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Continued cell division of morula produce hollow balls called a Blastocyst.
Blastocyst implant into uterine wall about 10 days after fertilization.
Blastocyst forms amniotic cavity and chorion of the placenta.
Placenta provides for exchange of nutrients between mother and fetus.
4. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Periods of Development
Gestation period is about 39 weeks.
Embryonic phase extends from fertilization to the end of the 8 week gestation
Fetal phase extends from 8 to 39 weeks
Fetal Development
5. Ch. 20 Growth & Development 3 primary germ layers in embryonic development
Endoderm inside layer
Ectoderm outside layer
Mesoderm middle layer
All organs are formed and functioning by 4th month of gestation
6. Ch. 20 Growth & Development
7. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Histogenesis and Organogenisis
Formation of new organs and tissues occurs from specific development from primary germ layers
Each primary germ layer gives rise to definite structures
Growth includes cell differentiation
From 4 months to birth babys development is mainly growth
8. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Birth of Parturition
9. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Process of birth
At 39 weeks, uterus becomes irritated
Fetus takes head down position against.
Muscular contractions begin, labor is initiated.
Amniotic sac ruptures
Cervix dilates
Fetus moves through vagina to exterior
10. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Stages of Labor
Stage 1 uterine contraction to cervix dilation
Stage 2 maximum cervical dilation
to delivery
Stage 3 expulsion of placenta through the
vagina
11. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Postnatal Period
Begins at birth and ends at death.
Growth and development are continuous.
Obvious changes in physical appearance.
Divisions
Infancy
Childhood
Adolescence and adulthood
Older adulthood
12. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Infancy
Neonatal period are 1st four weeks
Neonatology medical specialty in disorders of newborns
C.V. changes occur at time of birth. Must become complete sufficient
Respiratory changes include forceful first breath.
13. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Developmental changes in first 18 month
Doubling birth weight by 4 months and tripling in first year.
Then, overall rate of growth remains rapid but declines.
50% increase body length by 12 months.
Normal spinal curvature by 15 months
Raises head at 3 months
Can crawl at 10 months
Can stand alone at 12 months
Can run at 18 months
14. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Childhood
15. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Childhood
End of infancy to puberty, girls 13, boys 15
Overall rate of growth rapid but declining
Continued development of motor and coordination
Loss of baby teeth and eruption of permanent teeth.
16. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Adolescence and adulthood
Average age from 13 19
Period of rapid growth results in sexual maturity
Appearance of secondary sexual characteristics.
Growth spurts start
Growth plates fully close, sinuses acquire adult placement.
Adult hood maintains existing body tissues
Degeneration of body tissue begins.
17. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Older Adulthood
Degenerative changes characterize older adulthood
Every organ system undergoes degenerative changes
Senescence culminates in death
18. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Skeletal System
Aging causes calcification and changes shapes of bones
Spurs develop around joints
Bones become porous and fracture easily
Osteoarthritis is common
19. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Integumentary System
With age skin becomes
Thin
Dry
Wrinkled
Loses pigmentation
Thinning or loss of hair
20. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Urinary System
Nephrons decrease by 50% from age 30 to 75
Blood flow to kidney decreases
Muscle degeneration causes bladder to weaken
21. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Respiratory System
Calcification of coastal (rib) cartilages caused chest to remain expanded (barrel chest)
Degeneration of respiratory muscles decreases efficiency
Membrane thickens, passage of oxygen slows
22. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Cardiovascular System
Heart & blood vessel disease
Fat Deposits
Hardening of Arteries
Hypertension
23. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Senses
24. Ch. 20 Growth & Development Senses
All organs decline
Eye lenses become hardened
Lens becomes cloudy
Glaucoma
Loss of hair cells in inner ear
Decrease transmission of sound waves
60% of taste buds lost between 30 75 years.
