The experiment that was managed connected with the relation of growth between newborns and adults different body parts The goal was to tell whether those different body parts grow isometrically and allometrically. We tested body parts to compare the size ratio between an adult and an newborn.The body parts were measured with a ruler. The samples showed than the average adult height to arm span ratio in the class is 0.95 and the average adult height to hand ratio is 9; While the average newborn height to arm span ratio is 0.9 and the average newborn hand ratio is 8. The results were recorded and compared to newborns. It was found that the body parts grow allometrically. The average adult height to arm span ratio grew at 0.5 while the average adult height ratio grew at 1.0 compared to a newborn. Hence it could be said that the human body grows allometrically. INTRODUCTION In the lab, the experiment that was conducted involved the comparison between the average human height to arm span/hand ratio and the average newborn …show more content…
The wing span/height and hand/height were compared to each other in centimeters. In order to measure the ratios of height to selected body parts in newborns and adults. A metric ruler is used to measure the span of an student by measuring between fingertips of middle finger with arms outstretched and to measure the hand from the wrist to tip of middle finger. The yardstick is to measure the height of an student. Once those factors are solved the arm span and hand are both divided by the height of the student. The height/body part ratio is found ; it is then compared to the average newborn measurements. The results are written down and compared whether to see if newborn body parts growth rate is isometric or allometric. The replication is the classmates collecting data from different body parts. The level of treatment is adults and newborns in this
Prior to intubation for a surgical procedure, the anesthesiologist administered a single dose of the neuromuscular blocking agent, succinylcholine, to a 23-year-old female to provide muscular relaxation during surgery and to facilitate the insertion of the endotracheal tube. Following this, the inhalation anesthetic was administered and the surgical procedure completed.
The perceived goal of children, or their parents, in Bailey’s article is to be of normal height at adulthood; but what is normal? The average height for American men is 5’9” and for women it is 5’4” (Bailey). According to Robert W. Steele, M.D., “alterations [in growth] may be in the form of a growth slow down, accelerated growth, or disproportionate grow...

Going into details of the article, I realized that the necessary information needed to evaluate the experimental procedures were not included. However, when conducting an experiment, the independent and dependent variable are to be studied before giving a final conclusion.
As a developmental psychologist, it is imperative as a professional to provide specific guidelines for the healthy development of infants, children, and adults as they encounter the four main stages of life. These four phases, beginning with pregnancy and birth, leading to infancy and childhood, adolescence, and ending with adulthood, will be discussed in correlation with specific strategies suggested for maintaining a standard rate of growth in an individual as it relates to each particular stage.

The procedure, known as the ‘Strange Situation’, was conducted by observing the behavior of the infant in a series of eight episodes lasting approximately 3 minutes each:
the mean for leg length to torso length was 1.59 for humans and 1.13 for grasshoppers. In the graph the human column is higher than the grass hoper column as well because the grasshoppers have a smaller leg length compared to the body length and this is opposite to what I predicted in the hypothesis.
Birth of a baby is the start of a new era of a generation. As the new born infants are the internodes of the future, In order to have a health and strength population they should be given the proper health status from the beginning of their life. From the birth an infant can cause lot of health risks such as birth defects, severe organ damages or functional problems and even the death. All most all the above health risks are occurred due to the nutritional problems as well as the physical damages. With the reference of most out coming results in the world, as LBW contributes to 60% to 80% of all neonatal deaths, the Low birth weight (LBW) has become a common problem that occurs at the first step of infants’ life and moreover it has become a severe problem as the health risks due to the Low birth weight can be even seen at the adulthood of a person who are born with low birth weight.
A newborn child’s physical and motor development is an evident progression throughout their first years and later in life. A child’s motor development is more of a slower progress, from going to gross motor skills to more fine motor skills in a few months while physical development is an apparent process. The environment affects children in their physical and motor growth, as they learn and adapt to new stimuli everyday as they develop. Separately, these developments start at different times, but function hand in hand as a child grows. Physical development is apparent at conception, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence; while motor development
Organogenesis, Myogensis, neurogenesis and opsgenesis; these four things are key components to the construction of fetal development, which includes the embryo, zygote and fetus. In this paper I will examine, discuss and describe the changes in fetal development such as weight, length, growth of limbs and how everything correlates with the mother also.
The first type of development that can be observed is physical development. Physical development refers to a child's gross and fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are the use of large groups of muscles that can develop naturally through outdoor and indoor play. During play, a child may use their gross motor skills by standing, jumping, climbing, running or riding a bike. "If children are encouraged to be physically active, these skills can develop into advanced patterns of motor coordination that can last a lifetime" (brightfutures.org). Fine motor skills are the use of the muscles in the hands. These muscles can develop by using fingers to cut with scissors, write, paint and many other activities. Underdeveloped muscles, weight gain, and high blood pressure are all signs o...
A simple formula may be used which gives a correlation to the 95th percentile of BP for the 50th percentile for height up to 16 years of age.[7]
