The Endocrine System the body’s “slow”
chemical communication system
a set of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream

The Brain and Nervous System
• Neurons– Dendrite, cell body, and axon

Principles of Growth
• Cephalocaudal principle– Growth occurs in a head-to-tail direction
• Proximodistal principle– Growth and development of muscles from
the center outward to the extremities
• Orthogenetic principle– Development starts globally and
undifferentiated– Moves toward increasing differentiation and
hierarchical integration

The Infant
• Synaptogenesis– Growth of synapses, during childhood
• Synaptic pruning– Removal of unnecessary synapses
• Developing brain has plasticity– Responsive to the individual’s experiences
and can develop in a variety of ways

Plasticity
• Responsiveness to experiences– Can be negative
• Vulnerable to damage• Environmental deprivation
– Can be positive• Aids in recovery from from injury• Can compensate for each other• Can benefit from stimulation• Allows for adaptability

Our Divided Brain
large band of neural fibers
connects the two brain hemispheres
Corpus callosum
![Page 15: Body, Brain, and Health Chapter 5. The Endocrine System the body’s “slow” chemical communication system a set of glands that secrete hormones into](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e8a5503460f94b8f1e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Brain Development
• Never truly complete– Changes occur across lifespan
• Growth spurts in infancy, childhood and adolescence
• Full adult weight by about age 16
• Processing speed increases in adolescence
• Myelination continues into adulthood
![Page 16: Body, Brain, and Health Chapter 5. The Endocrine System the body’s “slow” chemical communication system a set of glands that secrete hormones into](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e8a5503460f94b8f1e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Changing Brain
• Brain development is never truly complete
• Neurogenesis– Process of generating new neurons
• Elderly adults may end up with 5–30% fewer neurons than early adulthood– Neuron loss greater in areas that control
sensory and motor activities
• Increased activity in the prefrontal cortex

Brain Development The Aging Brain
– Gradual and mild degeneration
Elderly adults– 5-30% fewer neurons than younger adult– Greater loss in sensory-motor areas– Plasticity still possible
Main result of age is slower processing

• Programmed theories of aging
– Maximum life span (species specific)
– Hayflick Limit – cells from embryos divide a limited amount 50 ± 10; for adult cells even less
telomeres

• Random error theories of aging
– Free radicals – toxic by-products of the metabolism of O2 damage cells and their functioning (also damage DNA)
• Interaction of the two – or more
