Chapter 4: Physical Growth, Maturation, And Aging Flashcards
Embryonic development:
Cell number increases and differentiate
4w embryonic
Limbs are roughly formed and heart beats
8w
Ears, eyes, nose, mouth, fingers, toes-human form
Ectoderm
Skin, teeth, NS, various glands, sensory receptors
Endoderm
Epithelial lining of auditory tube, larynx, urinary bladder, urethral, prostate
Mesoderm
Muscle, blood, connective tissue, teeth, adrenal cortex, skeleton, nervous and circulatory system
2nd month
Head develops rapidly Face forms Major organs-digestive Buds for limbs Circulatory system between embryo and mother Placenta
3rd month
Digestive organ begins functioning Ossification Buds for teeth Sex organs Arms legs fingers make spontaneous movement
4th month
reflect movement
Lower body parts grow more rapidly
Most bones distinct
5th month
Lanugo hairs
Vernix
Finger/toes nails
6th month
Cerebral cortex becomes layered (movement)
Eyes complete
Body lean, but fat cells forming
7th month
Fetus capable of living outside
Central fissures and comvutilns
8-9th months
Fat deposition
Myelin action of brain
Organ activity steps up
Prenatal development:
Growth begins instant ovum and spermatosson fuse
-genetic and intrinsic factors
