    • bones
    • kidneys
    • gonads
    • many glands of the body
    • components of the circulatory system
  24. What is the process of the primary germ layers developing into many kinds of tissue
    Histogenesis
  25. How many stages of labor are there
    3
  26. Period of first uterine contraction till complete dilation of the cervix

  27. Period of time from maximum dilation of cervix till exit of the baby
    Stage two of labor
  28. Period of time of expulsion of the placenta
    Stage 3 of labor
  29. What happens to the head in proportion to the body as age developes
    The head becomes proportionally smaller as body develops
  30. What happens with birth weight during the first 4-6 months
    It doubles
  31. What happens to birth weight during the first year
    it triples

    # of Functional nephrons decrease by 50%
  35. Fatty acids build up in blood vessel walls and narrow the passageway for the movement of blood often lead to the eventual blockage of the coronary arteries and a "heart attack
    Atherosclerosis
  36. Occurs when fatty accumilations and other substances in blood vessels calcify, and cause actual hardening of the arteries
    Arteriosclerosis
  37. Mature gametes contain how many chromosomes
