Chapter 17: Development through the lifespan
1. What is apoptosis, and how is it important throughout the lifespan?
Ans:
Apoptosis is programmed cell death.
It is important in development as it removes cells and tissues no longer required and permits
remodelling.
It can also occur due to external stresses, e.g. hypoxia, nutrient lack, viral infection, cell
damage
2. Outline the rapid growth and development into the foetus that occurs during the first eight
weeks of embryogenesis.
a. Placenta established by 4th week permitting substances to exchange between maternal and
embryonic tissues
b. Gastrulation occurs with development of three germ layers which form embryo and
support tissues
c. Basic structure of body laid down and heart starts beating at fourth week
d. Waste products eliminated through placenta
e. Blastocyst with fluid-filled space – enters uterus and embeds in uterine wall by 7 days
Ans: 1 (e); 2 (b); 3 (a); 4 (d); 5 (c).
3. Specify the functions of the placenta.
Ans:
Exchange of substances, but not cells, between foetus and mother
Nutrients and oxygen supplied to foetus
Waste products from foetus are eliminated into maternal circulation
Waste products excreted from maternal circulation
Endocrine function – secretes human chorionic gonadotrophin during early pregnancy
, 4. During foetal life, the mother provides all requirements but adaptations must occur to
enable the infant to adapt to independent life. Outline the major changes at and after
birth.
Ans:
Heart and circulation:
immediate changes to enable lungs to inspire air and provide oxygen to body
circulation alters so that blood no longer goes from right to left atrium
Infant develops adult-type circulation
Gastrointestinal tract, sense organs and immune system adapt over hours and days
Circadian rhythm development is essential for normal development
5. Outline some of the key characteristics of growth leading to adulthood.
Ans:
Infancy lasts from birth to about 24 months – rapid growth
Reaches approx 50% of adult height
During same time – brain reaches approx 80% of adult size
Different tissues grow at different rates
During infancy to adolescence – height, body systems, weight grow along with increasing
motor skills and coordination.
Brain reaches adult weight before early teens, but is still developing synapses and
remodelling until about 25 years
6. During puberty and adolescence individuals reach functional reproductive ability and
social adulthood. Outline some of the key events which occur.
Ans:
Hormonal changes from hypothalamus and pituitary gland influence gonads. gonadal
changes result in physical changes
Major events: menarche (beginning of menstruation) about 12–13 (girls) first ejaculation
about 13 in boys.
Puberty begins earlier in girls (about 10-11 completing 15–17), than boys (12–13 completing
16–17)
