Transcript of 1 Development Patterns Cephalocaudal Proximal-distal.
1
Development Patterns• Cephalocaudal
• Proximal-distal
2
Embryonic Development
• Conception-2 weeks: ZygoteZygote– about half survive
this stage– rapid cell
differentiation– ~ 10 days outer
part of zygote attaches to uterine wall; placenta develops
3
Embryonic Development
• First month (0- 4 weeks after conception)– Wt. is 400mg, Ht. is 1 cm.– Limb buds are present– Organs start to form– Heart pumps blood– C-shaped body.– Head is 1/3 of entire
body.
4
• Second month (5- 8 weeks)– Formation of head and
facial features.– Skeleton is visible.– Organogenesis is
complete.– Eyes formed and open– Extremities have
developed (some movements).
– Wt 1 gm, Ht is 2.5cm.
5
• Third month (9- 12 weeks)– Teeth begin to appear.– Kidneys begin to function– Some respiratory-like
movements.– Begin to swallow amniotic
fluid.– Grasp, sucking, blinking and
withdrawal reflexes present.– Gender easily distinguished– Weight 30 gm.– Sleeping and activity patterns
are distinguishable
6
• Fourth month (13- 16 weeks)– Much spontaneous
movements.– Moro reflex present.– Rapid skeletal development.– Meconium present.– Downy hair (lanugo)
appears on body.– Weight 120 gm.
7
Fifth month (17- 20 weeks)
• Mother usually feels movement (quickening)
• Vernix caseosa appears.• Eyebrows and hair appear.• Strong grasp reflex present.• Permanent teeth buds
appear.• Brown fat is formed.• Heart sound can be heard
with stethoscope.• Weight 360gm.
8
9
• Sixth month (21- 24 weeks)– Extra uterine life possible.– Begin to produce
surfactant.– Skin has red wrinkled
appearance.– Alternative periods of sleep
and activity.– May respond to external
sounds.– May try to find comfortable
position.– Weight 720 gm.
10
• Seventh month (25- 28 weeks):– Respiratory and
central nervous system sufficiently developed.
– Eye lids open and close spontaneously.
– Assumes head-down position in uterus.
– Weight 1200 gm.
11
• Eighth month (29- 32 weeks):– Begins to store fat and
minerals.– Testes descend into scrotal
sac.– Lanugo begins to disappear
from face.– Skin begins to lose reddish
color.– Weight 2000 gm.
12
• Ninth month (33- 36 weeks):– Increased iron storage
by liver.– Increased
development of lungs.– May become more or
less active due to space tightness.
– Weight 2800 gm.
13
• Tenth month (37- 40 weeks):– High absorption of
maternal hormones.
– Continued storage of fat and minerals.
– Ready for birth.
– Weight 3200 gm.
14
• Chromosomal factors
• Developmental factors– Teratogens– Drugs– Maternal Nutrition– Maternal disease– Stress– Fetal factors
Factors that affect development
15
Teratology
• Teratogens– Any agent that causes a birth defect– After Greek “monster creating”
• Variables affecting influence of teratogens– Timing of exposure– Intensity & duration of exposure– Number of harmful influences present– Biogenetic vulnerability of mother & infant
sensitivity
16

• TeratogensTeratogens: – Viruses:
• Rubella- most serious if exposed between 4-8 weeks; later prenatal exposure seldom life-threatening (congenital deafness common)
• HIV- 20-50% may pass on virus prenatally or during delivery
18
Prescription Drugs• Thalidomide – sedative used in early 1960s
– Infants with severe defects• Diethylstibestrol (DES) – used to prevent
miscarriages (cancer of reproductive system)– Abnormalities appeared in adulthood
• Antibiotics (streptomycin, tetracycline)• Some depressants• Certain hormones (progestin, synthetic
estrogen)• Accutane( used to treat acne) • Coffee
19
Illegal Drugs
• Cocaine - reduced birth weight, length, and head circumference; impaired motor development; poor attentional skills
• Marijuana - increased tremors and startles among newborns; poorer verbal and memory development
• Heroin – addiction & withdrawal symptoms including tremors, irritability, abnormal crying, disturbed sleep, impaired motor control; attention deficits
20
Environmental Hazards
• Radiation: nuclear environments, X-rays, computer monitors
• Chemicals: carbon monoxide, mercury, lead, pesticides.
• Heat: saunas, hot tubs
21
• Fetal alcohol effects (FAE); more severe form (FAS)
• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)– Low birth weight; lack of responsiveness– Facial deformities; defective limbs, face, and heart– Below average intelligence, with some cases of
mental retardation– Adults with FAS found to have a high incidence of
mental disorders, such as depression or anxiety
Alcohol and Pregnancy
22
• Higher fetal and neonatal deaths
• Higher incidence of preterm births and lower birth weights
• Related to poorer language development & cognitive development by age 4
• Respiratory problems and SIDS are more common
Nicotine
23
• Diet Pills• Aspirin ( baby Aspirin is
prescribed for problem in the placenta)
• Caffeine– Small increase in the risks for
spontaneous abortion and low birth weight occurs for pregnant women consuming >150 mg caffeine per day.
Nonprescription Drugs
24
Maternal Age
• Adolescence
• Older mothers
25
Domestic Violence
• 7-8% pregnant women are beaten
• Twice the miscarriage rates
26
• Important factors of nutritional status are– total number of calories– levels of protein, vitamins, and minerals– folic acid - linked with neural tube defects,
such as spina bifida
• Poor diet linked to infant mortality & prematurity
• Malnourished infants have significantly reduced number of brain cells
Nutrition
27
• Severe or prolonged stress increases medical complications & infant abnormalities
• Linked to spontaneous abortion, difficult labor, premature birth, low birth weight, newborn respiratory difficulties
Effects of Stress on Pregnancy
28
• Exposure to lead, radiation, certain pesticides, and petrochemicals may cause abnormalities in sperm that lead to miscarriage or disease.
• Diet low in vitamin C, increases risk of birth defects and cancer.
• Connection between cocaine use in fathers and birth defects.
• Fathers’ smoking during pregnancy may lead to lower birth weight and potential for their offspring developing cancer.
• Older fathers have higher risk for birth defects (e.g., Down syndrome & dwarfism.
