    Study Notes

    Stages of Growth and Development

    • Human life cycle includes distinct stages: Infancy, Childhood, Adolescence, and Adulthood.
    • Reproductive system and organs develop during puberty, the transitional phase to adulthood.

    Infancy (0 to 2 years)

    • Rapid growth with significant mass gain; first stage of life characterized by helplessness.
    • Dependent on parents for sustenance and protection; crying, squirming, and smiling are common behaviors.
    • Infants begin recognizing faces, voices, and smells.
    • Muscle strength increases; baby teeth emerge.
    • Milestones include learning to sit, crawl, stand, and walk.
    • Brain development leads to early speech, signaling rapid learning.

    Childhood (Ages 3-10)

    • Emphasizes mental and emotional development; children explore independence.
    • Language skills develop, with children speaking in short sentences.
    • Key activities include drawing, reading, writing, and counting.
    • Enjoyment of play and physical activities; muscle coordination improves.
    • Children invent games and stories, enriching imagination.
    • By age ten, social skills emerge, including making friends and cooperation.

    Adolescence (Ages 11-18)

    • Transitional stage known as the teenage years; significant bodily changes occur.
    • The pituitary gland releases hormones, initiating puberty in both boys and girls.
    • Male changes: muscle development, deeper voice, body and facial hair, broader shoulders.
    • Female changes: monthly release of eggs, wider hips, breast development, and body hair growth.
    • Cognitive changes include the ability to contemplate abstract concepts such as love and freedom.

    Adulthood (Age 18 or 21 and beyond)

    • Marks full physical and intellectual maturity; peak physical condition typically occurs between ages 18-30.
    • Responsibilities such as education, employment, and family begin to arise.
    • Height growth concludes; various bodily changes may persist throughout adult life.
