PSYC 324: EXAM 2
Etiology (1) |
Cause of disorder. (2=pathology)
|
Pathology (2) |
Disease.
(3=impairment)
|
Impairment (3) |
Difference in behavior function - wearing glasses (does not affect living life).
(4=Disability)
|
Disability (4) |
Permanent & serious enough -> difference in behavior cause problems in life.
(5=handicap)
|
Handicap (5) |
Long term damage.
|
Disability |
Heredity + environment + organ system + time of development
|
Heredity |
Genetic background
|
Onset - developmental disabilities. |
Must originate early life (~3 years of age) or before 21 years of age for injury.
|
Severity - developmental disabilities |
Must be severe enough to interfere with long term "normal" function = independence (Self-care, self-direction, independent living, mobility, Finances), social communication & learning.
|
Permanence - developmental disabilities |
Must persist throughout life.
Ex: epilepsy, ADHD(sometimes can be out grown or go away)
|
Developmental health |
Determined by genetic factors - environment.
Affects conception, gestation, birth process, neonate.
|
Positive effects of developmental health. |
-Healthy genes.
-Good perinatal health.
-Safe pregnancy/ living environment.
-Clean living environment .
-Healthy maternal diet.
-Support system, physician.
|
Negative effects of developmental health. |
-Congenital factors = rubella.
-postnatal infections= bacterial meningitis.
-physical trauma = brain damage.
-toxic factors = alcohol, drugs etc.
-maternal nutrition=folic acid.
-psychosocial factors =SES.
|
Human gestation |
38-42 weeks
Size & weight determined by parents genes
Average weight=6,2oz - 9,2oz.
Average length=19-21in
|
Miscarriage |
Pregnancy ends before week 20.
Ex: ectopic pregnancy
Chromosomal abnormality/ genetic defect
Uterine/ cervical issues
Health issues
Live births -> 2-3% developmentally disabled.
|
Ectopic pregnancy |
Pregnancy in the Fallopian tube
|
Preterm birth |
Pregnancy ends After 20 weeks.
|
Genotype |
Genetic code inherited from parents
|
Phenotype |
Observable physical characteristics
|
Chromosome |
22 matched pairs & sex chromosomes (23rd chromosome)
23 from mom
23 from dad
|
Autosomes |
First 22 chromosomes
23rd is sex chromosome.
|
DNA |
Genes/ gene expression.
|
Genetics |
Instructions on how to make proteins.
Chromosomes contain genes --> Genes are made up of DNA --> DNA is made up of nucleotides
|
Nucleotides (4) |
AUGC - 20 amino acids
|
Alleles |
Different versions of the same gene.
Dominant - brown
Recessive - colored
|
Meiosis |
Replication of sex cells.
*crossing over = swapping of equivalent genes.
23rd sex cell duplicates, - all chromosomes, --> crossover, - like alleles switch, --> duplicates duplicate, - 4 new cells & each cell has 23 chromosomes.
|
Mutations |
Alterations of genes resulting in a new allele.
Natural accidents of nature.
Ex: cat with no tail.
|
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) |
Alterations of specific pieces of a gene.
Codon (3 nucleotides in a strand of DNA)
|
Humans share many genes |
25,000 genes = 8 million genotypes
8 million M & F genotypes = 64 trillion different phenotypes.
***reason why everyone looks different & how some people randomly look alike sometimes.
|
Genetic inheritance in phenotype |
*physical features = blood type, skin, eye, hair color, facial features
*behavior = temperament, personality etc
*cognitive abilities = intelligence
Nature vs nurture.
|
Conception |
--> Fallopian tubes
*ovum (23 chromosomes from mom)
*sperm (23 chromosomes from dad)
** zygote moves to the uterus for gestation @ 38- 42 weeks/ 3rd trimester.
|
Gestation - Developmental time periods (critical time periods) |
Germinal stage
Embryonic stage
Fetal stage
|
Germinal period (gestation) |
(About 2 weeks)
Begins: conception
Ends: uterine implantation
Cell division begins (mitosis) after 24-36 hrs.
Cell differentiation --> blastocyst.
~outer cells = placenta, amniotic sac/ fluid
~inner cells = stem cells (embryo).
|
Embryonic period (gestation) |
(About 6 weeks)
Begins: uterine implantation
Ends: completion of cell differentiation
Completion of supporting systems --> placenta (filtering system) & amniotic fluid (protection)
Differentiation of body systems:
~3 cell layers form (mesoderm/ ectoderm)
~development of peripheral, neural systems
Basic development.
|
Fetal period (gestation) |
(About 30-40 weeks)
Begins: after organ differentiation, bone develops
Ends: birth.
Refinement of developing systems, limbs
Growth in functional abilities --> physiological connections, veins, muscles, brain
|
Gestation process. |
*12 weeks --> genitals, fingers toes
*16 weeks --> quickening
*24 weeks --> breathing crying (systems are not mature enough for survival [surfactin])
*28 weeks --> system refinement
*remaining weeks--> weight/ length gain (0.5lbs per week)
As gestation progresses, insults become less damaging
**perinatal --> brain/ behavior process.
|
High risk pregnancy |
Women 35 years and older
@ right for down syndrome, general health, chromosomal problems, eggs are 35 also so theres a higher risk of problems.
|
Genetic assesment |
Ethnic Bg
~black- tested for sickle cell
~White- tested for cystic fibrosis
~Jewish- taysax
|
First trimester |
Ultrasound, maternal serum, genetic
*Early ultrasound(11-14 gestational weeks)- fetal viability, #of babies. Placental position, gestation dating. Nuchal translucency --> CHD, DOs, death.
*Maternal serum screening(10-14GW)- free beta human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG hormone released while pregnant). pregnancy associated with plasma A.
*chorionic villus sampling- biopsy of the chorion.
Villi--> rapidly dividing cells -->errors in DNA
|

-Physical --> tears, bleeding
|
Oxytocin |
Bonding hormone. Bonding with each other. skin to skin contact (20mins) stimulate. Helps uterus contract.
Bonding releases oxytocin
|
Prolactin |

|
Pro-gestation |
keeps you pregnant - in birth control pills.
|
Relaxin |
loose hip right before birth
|
Pros (planned) C- Section |

Control -> date nursery, clothes, etc
-Lower risk: hemorrhage, injury, STD infection
|
Cons (Planned) C-Section |
Major surgery- complications, anesthesia, blood loss
Increased risk- heart attacks, blood clots, infection, hysterectomy, pain, later placental problems
Baby increased risk- lung infection/ issues, ADHD, learning disability.
|
Potocin |

|
Postpartum Depression (vs Baby Blues) |
(10-15%) --> 3 months after birth
-Emotional/ Cognitive --> changes in body, relationships, less time, freedom, anxiety about parenting
*Baby Blues
-Biological --> family risk for mood disorders, hormonal changes, food issues-general health, lack of sleep
|
