P1 Notes Flashcards
Increase in size or number. Purely anatomic
Growth
changes that occur as a person develops fron infancy to adulthood
PATTERN
physical, cognitive, emotional, and social advancements. physiologic and behavioral
Development
refers to the individual differences in the rate and timing of growth among people
variability
specific age if stage at which certain development milestones occur
timing
refers to the sequential progression of growth from the cephalic region too the caudal region
cephalocudal gradient of growth
a simplified graphical representation that shows the typical growth pattern of different body parts during childhood
scammon’s curve
what are the 4 major tissue systems of the body when it comes to growty?
neural, general tissues, genital, and lymphoid
based on measurements of skulls among human skeletal remains
craniometry
measure skeletal dimensions on living individuals
anthropometry
measurements and growth studies are done by superimposing , allows the direct measurement of bony skeletal dimensions. Disadvantage, 2D representation of a 3-D structure
cephalometric radiography
the use of advanced imaging techniques that capture and display the three dimensional representations of the human body
three dimensional imaging
utilize xrays to create detailed cross sectional images of the body.
ct scan
uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body’s internal structures.
mri
increase in cell size
hypertrophy
increase in cell number
hyperplasia
contributes to the increase in size, independent of the size or number of cell themselves
secretion of extracellular materials
the process by which the organic bone matrix becomes filled with calcium phosphate nanocrystals
mineralization
direct bone growth
intramembranous
indirect bone growth
endochondral
growth on the outer surface
apposition
growth within the tissue; lengthening
interstitial growth
intramembranous bone formation in cranial vault
frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal squamous part
1st bones to be formed
intramembranous
