1. All of the following are periods of prenatal development except: a.germinal
b.embryonic
c.fetal
<u>d.postpartum</u>
Prenatal development describes the 40 week period before a child’s birth and the processes that occur during that time during prenatal development. Cells containing genetic material called chromosomes determine all physical characteristics of an organism including biological sex, height and eye color through expression of genes.
The germinal stage describes the process from conception through implantation which is approximately two weeks, and begins when an egg is fertilized by sperm to form a zygote.
The embryonic stage follows this until week eight of pregnancy; here the zygote divides into multiple cells in layers that determine systems like the nervous system; skeleton and respiratory system. The embryo travels through the fallopian tubes and implants itself in the lining of the uterus where blood vessels form the placenta.
During the fetal stage spanning from week 9 until birth, differentiation, formation of sex organs internal organs and sensory perception occurs. The fetus also undergoes major brain development to form psychological and psychosocial traits. Immediately following the birth of the fetus is called the postnatal period
Studies revealed that glucose binds with the RBC membrane and intracellular proteins and increases membrane rigidity. The thing is that the concentration of glucose in the solution used is less than compared to the concentration of the same inside RBC and the cells swell up due to endometriosis.
<span>Irwin Rosenstock developed this model. His research was used to show why so few people undertake preventative measures for diseases and illnesses. This model shows that people tend to think that they are healthier than they might be, so there is no need for them to get screenings or other types of treatment.</span>
