Study Notes
Course Objectives
- Name and describe the male and female reproductive organs
- Describe the ovum and the process of ovulation
Quranic Verses
- Allah created humans from a single cell (Quran 12:13)
- Allah created humans from a clot of blood (Quran 13:14)
- Allah created humans from a drop of semen (Quran 12:12)
Growth and Development
- Growth: an increase in size of the body and various organs
- Development: a process of functional and physiological maturation of the individual
- Development includes:
- Increase in skill and capacity to function
- Related to maturation and myelination of the nervous system
- Qualitative aspects
- Development can be divided into:
- Prenatal (before birth)
- Postnatal (after birth) periods
Stages of Prenatal Growth and Development
- Duration of development: approximately 280 days (about 10 lunar months)
- Divided into three stages or periods:
- Stage of zygote (week 1-2)
- Characterized by all cells looking alike
- Stage of embryo (week 3-8)
- Characterized by formation of tissues, organs, and systems
- Stage of fetus (week 9-birth)
- Characterized by differentiation and growth
- Stage of zygote (week 1-2)
Processes of Development
- Cell division: one cell divides into two, four, eight, etc.
- Cell migration: certain cells migrate to another region and begin to function
- Cell differentiation: a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type
- Growth: either due to an increase in size or an increase in number
Apoptosis
- Programmed cell death
