Document Summary
Unit 1: basics of growth and motor development: introduction and definition of terms, patterns of post-natal systemic growth, classification and characteristics. Metabolism - complete set of chemical reactions that occur in living cells. Catabolism - destructive metabolism; the breakdown of materials. Anabolism - constructive metabolism; the building of materials. Genotype: total set an individual"s genetic characteristics contained within his/her genome, unique to each person, operational: a set of instructions our body will follow. Phenotype: physical expression of the genotype, visible characteristics, biochemical and tissue variants, modified by environmental factors interacting with genotype (ecophenotypic variation) 3 central processes in infancy, childhood and adolescence: growth, maturation, development. Neoplasia** - abnormal proliferation of cells, usually faster, tumor. Increase in intracellular functional units (organelles, substrates, proteins, cofactors/coenzymes) ** Muscular and nervous tissue primary growth form. Dystrophy = weakening, loss of function, etc: accretion. I. e. collagen matrices in adipose tissue, connective tissue, or bone.
