...HDEV 3101 Life Span Development Reading Blog 2 The human body goes through major growth patterns and then reverses itself from infancy to death. The two major growth patterns in infancy are the cephalocaudal pattern and the proximodistal patterns. In the cephalocaudal pattern, the rapid growth of the head surpasses the rest of the body while in the proxoxismal pattern; the chest muscles develop before the muscles in the extremities. In childhood growth is slow yet steady. Later in adolescence or puberty the body reaches great increases in hormones (endocrine glands powerful chemical secretions) and physical maturation. Growth spurts in weight and height reach girls two years faster than boys. Sexual organs testes in male and ovaries in female are developed by the pituitary gland. Strength and muscle tone develops in teens and twenties yet may begin to decline in the thirties. In the forties and fifties muscle tone and elasticity steadily decrease leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. In later adult hood the body begins to deteriorate with markedly decreases in the cardiovascular system, lung elasticity, and circulatory system eventually leading to disease and death. The brain has two hemispheres; the forebrain and the outer layer the cerebral cortex. Important developments in the brain in the first two years are myelination and laterization. Myelination is the development of a thin sheath of fat cells called myelin that aid in faster information processing and...

...Middle Adulthood Jamika Golden Mercer University Middle Adulthood According to Rathus (2016), Middle Adulthood spans from ages 40 to 65. Although we may mature at different rates, our physical rates can be reversed in some cases with diet and exercise. In this stage, people go through many physical changes such as hearing and hair loss graying of hair, vision changes, and wrinkling of skin just to name a few. Middle-agers are more susceptible to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, and diabetes. In mid-life there is a decline in vision, many gain weight, and reduce in height. Some men develop sexual dysfunctions while women go through menopause or what is also called the change in life. The menopause transition commonly takes place between 46 and 50 years old. Symptoms vary from person to person and/or region to region. According to a study conducted on menopause in Australia and Japan, the women menopausal symptoms had many differences. Most of the Australians had symptoms of night sweats while the Japanese women reported anxiety and nervousness as their main issues. On the other hand, the regional studies showed a significant increase in depression and hot flashes across the board. Meanwhile, both regions did not show major differences in being excitable, difficulty in concentration, feeling tired or lacking energy.(Anderson, D .J, Yoshizawa, T, Gollshewski S.E, Sara E.A, Fumi.C Mary D;2004) Although this may be true studying middle age...

...“Breast is Best” Krystal Watts October 21, 2015 PSY 241- FN1 Jackie Abell Congratulations new mom! Now you have plenty of tough decisions to make about what is best for your baby. You’ll be contemplating things such as what brand of diapers and wipes should you use, what kind of clothes should they be wearing, or most importantly should you breastfeed or buy formula? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding and I definitely agree. Research has found numerous benefits for you and baby. First, I would like to go over benefits for you, mom. Breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer. The Cancer Research UK conducted a study and the results show the risk of breast cancer is reduced by 7% for each baby a woman has. For every twelve months she breastfeeds she decreases the risk by a further 4.3%. (Woodman) Also, breastfeeding helps shrink the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size after delivery. While breastfeeding, your body releases a hormone called oxytocin. This hormone is the worker for shrinking the uterus among other things. With the shrinking of the uterus, you reduce your risk of severe uterine bleeding. Another plus to breastfeeding that any woman would look forward to is losing that baby weight. Breastfeeding moms lose more fat in the first month postpartum when compared to formula feeding moms. (7 ways breastfeeding benefits mothers) Furthermore, an obvious benefit is it does not cost as much as buying formula. It is recommended that breastfeeding...

...Childhood Development Essay The years from two to six years of age are referred to as early childhood or the preschool years of the developmental process (Rathus, 2012, p. 123). The early childhood years are critical to the future develop of the child. The brain development is intensive and sensitive to external environmental influences; therefore, it is imperative that its stimulation and nutrition are adequate and influences are positive (Makkaoui, 2009). “The brain develops more quickly than any other organ in early childhood (Rathus, 2012, p. 124). Such development helps to ensure that each child reaches his or her potential and is a productive part of a rapidly changing, global society (Makkaoui, 2009). As their nervous system matures, their motor skills explode and their movements become more and more precise and coordinated (Rathus, 2012, p. 125). The physical development is somewhat of a natural process. A few weeks after conception, the embryo is visible (Rathus, 2012, p. 37). If the mother takes the proper precautions by receiving adequate nutrition, medical attention, physical exercise and rest and relaxation, the embryo will continue to develop and grow into a fetus and eventually enters the world of the unknown outside the womb (Rathus, 2012, pp. 37-40). After the birth, the physical growth continues voluntarily. There is no formula or recipe that one must remember in order to assure the child continue to grow. Provided the child receives the proper nutrition...

...Daniel Chavez W0523798 Pysch 105-Abnormal Psychology Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D) Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is defined as a psychological reaction occurring after experiencing a highly stressing event that is usually characterized by depression, anxiety, flashbacks, recurrent nightmares and avoidance of reminders of the event (Merriam-Webster 2014). PTSD is an anxiety disorder that may develop after a person is exposed to one or more traumatic events, such as sexual assault, serious injury or the threat of death. When the symptoms of PTSD are present for 30 days or more a full diagnoses if given. Symptoms may begin immediately or in the future. While the majority of the population will be exposed to some sort of trauma in their lifetime only few people will develop PTSD (Kessler 1995). With the United States being in conflicts over seas, more and more of our military men and woman are experiencing posttraumatic stress disorder but are ultimately failing to seek the medical help they need and deserve. Symptoms and Prevalence Although PTSD symptoms can begin right after a traumatic event, PTSD is not diagnosed unless the symptoms last for at least one month, and either cause significant distress or interfere with work or home life. In order to be diagnosed with PTSD, a person must have three different types of symptoms: re-experiencing symptoms, avoidance and numbing symptoms, and arousal symptoms (Nebraska department of Veterans Affairs). Re-experiencing...
