Growth & Development Flashcards
Growth
an increase in body weight until mature size is reached
Growth is a result
of an increase in cell size and cell numbers with protein deposition resulting
Growth is an increase in the mass of structural tissue (bone, muscle, and connective tissue) and
organs accompanied by a change in body form and composition
Development is the
directive coordination of all diverse processes until maturity is reached
What does development involve?
growth, cellular differentiation and change in body shape and form
What are 3 phases of prenatal life
sex cells, embryo, fetus
When does the fetus gain the most weight?
last trimester
What are the 6 factors affecting prenatal development?
sex, environment, large litters, nutrition, maternal size and age, heredity/genotype
What is embryological development?
spherical mass of cells differentiates into specific cell types and eventually into organs
What are the 4 anatomical locations of fat?
subcutaneous
intramuscular
intermuscular
mesentery
Subcutaneous fat
back fat
Intramuscular fat
fat dispersed within muscular tissue (marbling)
Intermuscular fat
seem fat, fat between muscles
Mesentery fat
organ fat, fat lining cavity in the bodies, lubricates so organs don’t stick and insulation
What are the 3 phases of prenatal development?
Sex cells
embryo
fetus
Actrozomal cap
take cap off as they approach the egg to penetrate the egg
What affects prenatal development?
Hereditary/genotype
Maternal size and age
Nutrition
Large litters
Environment
Sex
Lebito
sex drive
is important in breeding
