Growth and Development Flashcards
anatomic phenomenon
growth – change in size or nuber and largery anatomic phenom.
physiologic and behavioral phenomenon
development – increase in complexitey
concept 1
pattern –> patterns REPEAT and refers to COMPLEX SET OF PROPORTIONS
- these PROPORTIONS CAN CHANGE over time
LIKE AT BIRTH HEAD IS 50% of body but then at full growth may be like 25% or less of growth
scammon’s curves looks at what
- lymphoid
- neural
- general
- genital
patterns of growth in these areas represented by a % of adult size in relation to age
neural tissue growth?
complete by age 6-7 usually
lymphoid tissue growth?
grows beyond adult size and then involutes and puberty commences
concept # 2
explain
VARIABILITY
- patterns repeat reliably, but still everyone is different
*important to clinically differentiate individuals that ay be extremes of NORMAL variations, from those OUTSIDE this NORMAL range
concept #3
Timing
explain timing
same event happens for different individuals at different times
biologic clocks of different individuals are set differently
variations in timing aremost obvious in adolescence
because of this variability– chronologic age is often not a good indicator of growth status
chronological age good indicator of growth status?
NO – b/c of variability
craniofacial pattern change
see a clockwise end to growth a- e
a= cranial base (stops growing first)
then frontal then maxilla then mandible then ramus
growth pattern seen in neural tissue vs general
neural early jump then plateus
general - S shaped curve spike, plateu, and increase at puberty agian then plateus
T/F patterns repeat
TRUE - but variablity in these patterns
sign of alarm in standard growth charts - check up?
if child over 2 consectutive periods of time - like 2 checkups in a row child is falling or rising 2 percentile in change – sign of alarm
calander or clock good indicator for concept of timing?
NO - the SAME event happens at DIFFERENT TIMES for different people
chronological growth?
not a good indicator of timeline
craniometry growth study model
Pro
con?
pro= precise
only cross sectional – so person is not alive
Anthropometry growth study model
Pro
con?
pro- longitudinal
measuring external body
con- less precise on bony structures - like what is inside
cephalometric radiology growth study model
Pro
con?
pro = longitudinal possible, relatively precise
con- not all measurements possible
cone bean technology growth study model
Pro
con?
pro - low dose 3-D precidse
cons - expensive
can see a lot of structures
hand wrist radiography?
growth study model
- can capture when puberty should be starting and timing of it when looking at development or fusing of certain anatomical aspects of the hand
fully fused? – then height probably wont increase
increase in size independentof number or size of cells?
secrete extracellular material
hypertrophy
increase in size of cells
hyperplasia
increase in NUMBER of cells
interstitial growth
growth from WITHIN
a combination of hyperplasia and hypertrophy
characteristic of soft tissues and uncalcified cartilage
appositional growth
increase in sie by surface addition
mainly through extracellular secretions
characteristic of hard tissues (bone and teeth) and calcified cartilage
formation of cartilage
chondrogenesis
chondrogenesis details
- chondroblasts produce matrix
- cells are encased in matrix and become chondrocytes
- chondrocytes enlarge, divide, and produce more matrix
- matrix remains uncalcified
- a cell membrane covers the tissues but is not essential for further growth
