ANT 102 Lecture 11 Outline of Last Lecture I. Simple Polymorphisms II. Patterns of Population DiversityIII. Race and GeneticsIV. Human adaptabilitya. Adaptive significance of human variationOutline of Current Lecture I. Human Growth and Developmenta. Begins at conceptionb. Cultural factors c. Fundamentals of Growth and Developmentd. Bone Growth and Developmente. Brain Growthf. Basic Nutrients for Growth and DevelopmentCurrent LectureI. Human Growth and Developmenta. Begins at conception b. Cultural factors can develop growth and developmenti. Socioeconomic status was positively correlated with average height in 1800-1900 (Due to access to good nutrition)c. Fundamentals of Growth and Developmenti. Growth1. Increase in mass or number of cellsii. Development1. Differentiation/specialization of cellsa. Going through puberty is an example d. Bone Growth and Developmenti. Ossification These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.1. Cartilage cells gradually replaced by bone cellsii. Epiphyses1. Connected to the ends of long bones2. Eventually fuse to the diaphysis3. Unite with their shafts at predictable ages e. Brain Growthi. The pattern human brain growth1. At birtha. Brain is 25% of adult size2. Six monthsa. Brain doubles in size to 50% of adult size3. By age 5a. 90% of adult size4. By age 10a. 95% of adult sizef. Basic Nutrients for Growth and developmenti. Five basic types of nutrients1. Proteins- primarily from meat, some plants as well (hormones, muscle, etc.)2. Carbohydrates- Energy source, comes from starches grains etc, also has sugar that is glucose that is what our cells use 3. Lipids- fats and oils (also energy)4. Vitamins- needed for growth and development (Vitamin C helps immune, Vitamin D helps bones) 5. Minerals- Calcium triggers bone growth, iron helps transport oxygen through blood ii. We need these all in moderationiii. 8 Essentials amino acids for adults (9 for
