Physiology and Flashcards
difference in kids resp system
kids have high anterior larynx and floppy epiglottis
difference in kids cardio system
small blood volume so minor blood losses can have major clinical implications
what is prominent in the head of a kid
occiput
what predisposes kids to hypothermia
large surface area
what are less well protected in kids
underlying structures under the ribs and sternum as their is lack of complete ossification of the ribs/sternum
what is the most important predictor of personality of kids
childs early relationship with primary caregiver
when do babies form strong attachment to one individual and get separation and stranger anxiety
7-11 months
what stage is between 6 weeks to 7 months
attention sought from different individuals
are babies social in the first 6 weeks
no they are asocial
the attachment when infant shows no sign of distress when mother leaves
avoidant attachment
difference between insecure avoidant adolescents type A and C
A is avoiding intimacy etc whereas C is more severe such as attention seeking
what is the process between caregiver and infant in which they are able to tune in to each others physical and emotional states
attunement
is temperament heritable
yes
what is the basic foundation of personality
temperament
motor development in babies occurs in what direction
cephalocaudal eg ie child masters head control first
what needs to be lost to allow the development of voluntary movement
primitive motor reflexes
average baby will be walking by how long
12 months and normal range is up to 18 months
what is asymmetric tonic neck reflex
if head turns to one side, limbs flex and extend on each side to stabilise baby
what is the moro primitive reflex
when babies head suddenly falls back, infant grasps with arms
adolescence is between
10-19
youth is between
15-24
young people is between
10-24
is there child concern if both under 13 having sexual activity
yes
when can you weigh kids in vests and pants
when over 2
measuring head circumference where
where it is widest
what is true central precocious puberty
normal pubertal development occurring abnormally early so less than 8 in girls and less than 9 in boys
why are boys taller than girls
boys have delayed peak height velocity, boys PHV is greater than girls due to testosterone, boys are taller pre puberty
thyroid karotype bloods is especially important in
turners
what is secure attachment
distressed when mother leaves
when does human brain development begin
3rd week post conception
endoderm produces
gut and respiratory system
what levels are higher in the anterior region of the brain
Pax6
what levels are high in the posterior region of the brain
Emx2
the brain is initially smooth in contour, what word would describe that
lissencephalic
what do we develop gyro and sulk
accommodate the proliferating neuronal populations
what cells aid the movement of neurones
radial glial
what do axons do
transmit signals from neurones
what do dendrites do
gather info and transmit to neurones
is neuronal cell death a normal part of brain development
yes
what cells form myelin sheaths
oligodendrocyte progenitor cells
visual deprivation in early post natal life will after the
primary visual cortex
when is the brain almost fully grown
shortly after birth
estrogen can make girls more prone to
stress
androgen supposed to make boys more resilient to
stress
defects in neural tube closure
anencephaly and spina bifida
failure of brain vesicles to form
holoprosencephaly
what gene encodes a myelin protein present in the CNS
PLP1
disorder of PLP1 gene
Pelizaeus merzbacher
what is a regression disorder
retts syndrome
