Post embryogenesis Flashcards
What is Post-embryogenesis?
This is the period of Ontogenesis that follows the embryo development. It is the period of hatching out to the biological Death.
List the two kinds of Embryonic Ontogenesis
Direct and development with metamorphosis

List the stages of Incomplete Metamorphosis
Egg, Larva, Imago [Amphibians]
Direct development is common in
Humans[Pure yolk] and animals with large yolk[birds, reptiles]
Periods of Post embryonic development
- ] Growth and Morphogenesis
- ] Maturation Period
- ] Aging Period, ending by biological death.
What is the aging process in Humans?
This is a complex biochemical process which involves all processes taken the social, psychological and
