Stages Of Human Lifespan
1.Prenatal (before birth)
2. Postnatal (after birth)
Stages of Prenatal Period
1.Germinal period
2. Embryonic period
3. Fetal period
Stages of Postnatal Period
1. those that migrate down along the side of
the developing neural tube become
autonomic ganglia neurons, adrenal
medullary cells, or enteric nervous system
neurons
2. those that migrate into the somites (see
the next section, “Somite Formation”)
3. those that migrate laterally between the
somites and the ectoderm become
melanocytes

1. Neonatal period Adult Derivatives of the Pharyngeal

2. Infancy Pouches
3. Childhood 1. Auditory Tubes
4. Adolescence 2. Tonsils
5. Adult 3. Thymus
Periods of Adulthood 4. Parathyroid Glands

1. Young adult (20-40) Two Parts of Interatrial Septum

2. Middle Age (40-65) 1. Septum primum
3. Older adult (65-death) 2. Septum secundum
Layers of Cells of the Embryonic Disk The Cloaca is divided into
1.Epiblast 1. Rectum
2. Hypoblast 2. Urethra
Important Families of Growth Factors Stages of Labor
1. Epidermal Growth Factors (EFG) 1. First Stage
2. Fibroblast Growth Factors (GFG) 2. Second Stage

electroencephalogram that remains
isoelectric (“flat”) for at least 30 minutes.
