28. Postembryonic period - direct development and metamorphosis, raging and death. Flashcards
Postembryonic period:
- starts with birth or hatching and ends with death
- growth and development using substances from the environment
- the development can be direct or indirect (metamorphosis)

Metamorphosis - development involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal’s body structure through cell growth and differentiation
Metamorphosis - development involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal’s body structure through cell growth and differentiation
Incomplete or partial metamorphosis:
- hemimetabolous development
- immature stages are called nymphs
Complete metamorphosis:
- motometabolous development
- including a pupal or resting stage between the larval about forms

Aging - A progressive deterioration of physiological function hypothesis:
- decreased function of the immune system
- errors in replication
- change in colloidal system of cells (decrease of metabolic processes)

Death - end of individual development
Clinical death - cessation of life support functions (breathing and circulation) Biological (brain) death: electrical activity of the brain decreases
