Resumo de Recurso
5.1 Building Blocks of Growth and Development
The Endocrine System
Pituitary gland: master gland
Produces growth hormone
Thyroid gland
Anotações:
role in physical growth and development of the nervous system
Lack of which can cause intellectual problems
Secretes sex hormones
Androgens: stimulates production of growth hormone and male sexual development and motivation
Estrogen and progesterone
Estrogen: stimulates production of growth hormone and sexual development
Progesterone: controls bodily changes allowing conception and pregnancy
Adrenal gland secrete hormones contributing to maturation in both sexes
Collaborates with the nervous system
The Nervous System
Brain Development
Much growth occurs after birth
Early in formation; brain is plastic
Anotações:
highly adaptable
Critical/sensitive period for brain development
Anotações:
late prenatal period and early infancy
Laterilization
Anotações:
asymmetrical specialiations of the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex
evident at birth
Left:sequential, analytical
Right: emotion; simultaneous processing of info
Two sides work together
Possible for one hemisphere to take over the function of the other if damaged
Never truly complete
Undergoes neurogenesis throughout life
The Aging Brain
Conditions that cause serious brain damage are not normal (aging)
Normal
gradual, relatively mild degeneration of the nervous system
Loss of neurons; diminished functioning
Greater in areas controlling sensory and motor activities
harmful changes in tissues supporting neurons
Brain weight and volume decrease over adult years
Senile Plaques
Anotações:
hard areas in the tissue surrounding neurons that may interfere with neuronal functioning and seen in abundance in people with Alzheimer's disease
Process info. slower
Middle age brings greater integration of the left and right hemispheres of the brain
Can avoid brain degeneration by remaining intellectually and physically active
Principles of Growth
Cephalocaudal principle
Growth in head to tail direction
Proximodistal Principle
growth from the center outward to the extrmities
E.g: muscle growth
Orthogenetic Principle
Global development towards increasing differentiation and hierarchical integration
E.g: Development from a cell to an organism
Life-Span Developmental Model of Health
Health is a lifelong process
Health is multidimensional
Development involves gains and losses
Occurs in a sociohistorical context and is influenced by it; esp. socioeconomic status
