* Height should be measured from ages 2 years (length measured before this) using a rigid rule with T piece, or stadiometer * Ensure heels, bottom, back and head are touching the apparatus with eyes and ears at 90 degrees * Measure on expiration * Always measure with shoes removed
56
When should weeks be used to describe age until?
Described in weeks for first 6-12months, then calandar months thereafter
57
How should growth charts be plotted for premature children?
Up until 2years, take the amount of time they were premature by (length of time from 40 weeks) off of the chronological age. Prematurity = any baby born before 37weeks. So if you see them at 12 months, but they were born at 36 weeks, then mark them as 11 months.
58
What is the average age girls and boys enter puberty? When is precocious and delayed puberty?
* Girls * on average start puberty at 11. * Precocious: If puberty begins \<8 years * Delayed: if no signs of puberty at 13 * Boys * On average start puberty at 11 years 6 months. * Precocious: If puberty begins \<9 years * Delayed: No signs sof puberty by 14
59
What causes puberty to begin?
Puberty occurs when the secretion of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) by the hypothalamus, which is largely but not entirely suppressed during childhood, increases so that pulsatile secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) increases, resulting in sufficient sex steroid production to result in the secondary sexual development.
60
What effect does the gonadotrophins have in boys at the start of puberty?
* LH stimulates the leydig cells to produce testosterone, which promotes formation of secondary sexual characteristics * FSH stimulates sertoli cells to enhance spermatogenesis
61
What effect does the gonadotrophins have in girls at the start of puberty?
* LH stimulates proliferation of follicular and thecal cells, and during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle induces androgen secretion by theca cells. * FSH induces proliferation of granulosa cells; increases expression of LH receptors on granulosa cells; enhances oestradiol (E2) production; and increases progesterone production.
62
What system is used to stage puberty?
Tanner staging system (1= pre-pubertal and 5 = fully developed)
63
What testicular volume indicated pre-pubety and beginning of puberty?
\<4ml = pre-pubertal and \>4ml = puberty began (goes up to 12ml)
64
In terms of girls puberty, what does Thelarche, Adrenarche and Menarche mean?
"-arche" = beginning, so: * Thelarche = breast budding * Adrenarche = body hair and odour * Menarche = start of periods
65
Why are men taller than women?
* Boys have delayed peak height velocity (PHV) - *period where max height growth occurs* * Boys PHV \> girls (Driven by androgens in boys) * Boys taller in pre-puberty
