The Stages of Human Development
- Pre-natal stage
- Infancy
- Babyhood stage
- Early Childhood
- Middle and late childhood
- Adolescence
- Early Adulthood
- Middle Adulthood
- Late Adulthood
Conception to birth
Pre-natal stage
Involves tremendous growth -from a single cell to an organism complete with brain and behavioral capabilities.
Pre-natal Period
Age when heredity endowment and sex are fixed and all body features, both external and internal are developed.
Pre-natal Period/Stage
Relating to pregnant woman and her unborn baby.
Pre-natal stage
Before birth, during or relating to pregnancy.
Pre-natal stage
3 Periods of pre-natal stage
- Germinal Period
- Embryonic Period
- Fetal Period
Conception to 2weeks.
Germinal Period
It includes the creation of Zygote, continued cell division and the attachment of the zygote to the uterine wall. “Uterus”.
Germinal Period
Layers of the organism in germinal Period
Blastocyst and Trophoblast
The inner layer of cells organism in germinal Period.
Blastocyst
The outer layer of the cells organism in germinal Period
Trophoblast
The inner layer that will develops later into the embryo in germinal Period.
Blastocyst
The outer layer of the organism in germinal Period that provides nutrition and support for the embryo.
Trophoblast
Refers to 2-8 weeks after conception.
Embryonic Period
Zygote will become embryo.
Embryonic Period
The following Development takes place:
- Cell differentiation intensifies
- Life support systems for the embryo develop
- Organs appear
Embryonic Period
It is the process of organ formation during the first two months of prenatal development.
Organogenesis
Process of increase connection between areas of the brain during pre-natal development.
Synaptogenesis
3 layers of cells in Embryonic Period
Endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm
Inner layer of the cell in Embryonic Period
Becomes the digestive and respiratory systems.
Endoderm
Outermost layer of the cell in Embryonic Period.
Ectoderm
