Motor Development (1) Flashcards
what is the period for embryo development?
3-8 weeks
what are the three layers of embryo development and what does each layer become?
- ectoderm (outer layer): hair, skin, nervous system
- mesoderm (middle layer): muscles, bones, circulatory system
- endoderm (inner layer): digestive system and lungs
growth of the embryo follows two important principles. What are they?
- cephalocaudal principle: head develops before the rest of the body
- proximodistal: growth of parts near the center of the body occurs before those that are more distant
neural development process
- ectoderm thickens and forms the neural plate
- neural plate begins to form the neural groove
- neural fold (sides of neural groove) begin to come together, neural tube officially forms at 4 weeks
- neural tube eventually becomes entire central nervous system
what is the secondary vesicle for the prosencephalon?
what areas are formed?
telencephalon
- cerebral hemispheres
diencephalon
- thalamus, hypothalamus, and retina
what is the secondary vesicle for mesencephalon?
what areas are formed?
mesencephalon
midbrain
what is the secondary vesicle for the rhombencephalon?
what areas are formed?
metencephalon
- pons, cerebellum
myelencephalon
- medulla
craniorachischisis is a neural tube defect. What does this entail?
failure of neural tube to close, unable to survive
spina bifida is a neural tube defect. What does this entail?
- end portion of the neural tube didn’t close
- myelomengingocele: herniation of spinal cord and meninges
- occulta: defect of vertebral column only
anencephaly is a neural tube defect. What does this entail?
failure of rostral end of tube to close, absent cerebral hemispheres, unable to survive
holoprosencephaly is a neural tube defect. What does this entail?
partial or complete failure of prosencephalon to separate into diencephalon and telencephalon, usually unable to survive
what is the period for fetus development?
weeks 9-38
What week in fetus development do the sense become active?
week 22
in what week of fetus development do all movement patterns have been initiated? What are some examples of these movement?
week 15
- sucking, swallowing, breathing, and grasping
at what week in fetus development does the ability to smell begin?
week 28
at what week in fetus development do coordinated reflexes occur?
weeks 33-38
What are general risk factors affecting prenatal development?
- nutrition
- stress
- mother’s age
what percent influence do genetic factors and environmental factors have?
genetic - 30%
environmental - 7-10 %
list examples of:
- genetic factors
- environmental factors
- multifactorial inheritance
- chromosomal abnormalities
- drugs, viruses
- combination of genetic & environmental
