Class Objectives:
-What Factors Influence Prenatal Development? -Process of Physical Development
Is the prenatal environment that important??
YES it is extremely important! There are many factors that can negatively impact the developing person.
Teratogens are substances that can lead to ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________
Teratogens
Drugs (street or over the counter) Alcohol Cigarettes Disease Poor nutrition Stressors Chemicals Almost anything can impact a developing fetus

It's all about timing...
The effect of a teratogen is very personal because the impact depends on the timing of exposure.
Critical period is the time when a particular ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________
Different teratogens can cause damage at different times during development and each body structure has its own critical period
Some Environmental Hazards (to a Fetus or Newborn)
Drugs: - Alcohol - Birth Control Pills - Caffeine - Cocaine - Heroin - Marijuana - Methadone - Nicotine
Environmental Pollutants - Lead - Mercury - PCBs
Maternal Diseases - AIDS - Chicken Pox - Chlamydia - Cytomegalovirus (CMV) - Gonorrhea - Genital Herpes - Influenza - Mumps - Rubella (German

- Approximately 10,000 infants are born each year with physical or cognitive disabilities associated with maternal drinking
What does FAS look like?
Facial Characteristics - Flattened features - Low-set ears - Down syndrome-like appearance
Facial abnormalities are an obvious indicator of FAS
Small head circumference Small, widely-spaced eyes Prolongation of the fold of the upper eyelid A short, upturned nose Flat mid-face, lowered nasal bridge Thin upper lip

Nutrition - Especially folic acid Maternal age - Negatively affect development if mom is an
adolescent or over the age of 35 Emotional states and stress - When a pregnant woman experience
intense fears, anxieties, and other emotions ? physiological changes occur that may affect her fetus
How do we Develop Physically?
Chapter 3
Physical Development and Biological Aging
4
One of the most obvious signs of development is how we grow
and change physically.
One of our goals in this chapter is to examine the physical changes that occur from infancy
through late adulthood
Did you know that humans take the longer to become physically mature than any
other animal?
We spend about 20% of our lives growing physically!
Patterns of Growth
