Proliferative Phase01:20

Proliferative Phase

The proliferative phase typically occurs after menstruation and lasts between 6 to 13 days in a standard 28-day cycle. This phase involves the reconstruction of the endometrium, guided by estrogen produced by the developing ovarian follicle.
Notably, the stratum basale, the basal layer of the endometrium, including the basal parts of the uterine glands, remains unaffected by menstruation. Stem cells in this layer undergo mitosis, regenerating the stratum functionalis and thickening the...

Principles of the Life-Span Developmental Approach: Part 2

Paul B. Baltes and colleagues described several key principles of lifespan development to explain how individuals change from childhood through late adulthood. These principles focus on the allocation of personal resources, the capacity for change, and the influence of historical and cultural environments. They show that development can change but is also limited by individual and environmental conditions.Development Involves Changing Resource AllocationsAcross the lifespan, individuals...
Gonadal and Placental Hormones01:24

Gonadal and Placental Hormones

The gonads, namely the testes in males and the ovaries in females, are pivotal in producing gonadal hormones that orchestrate the intricate processes of sexual development and reproduction.
In males, testosterone is the primary gonadal androgen. It plays a central role in the maturation of male reproductive organs — the penis and testes. Additionally, testosterone is instrumental in the development of secondary sexual characteristics — a deep voice as well as facial and pubic hair growth — and...
Ovarian Cycle01:27

Ovarian Cycle

The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle length...
Emerging Sense of Self During Toddlerhood01:27

Emerging Sense of Self During Toddlerhood

Self-concept is an individual’s developing understanding of personal characteristics, abilities, and qualities. It supports self-awareness, the recognition of oneself as distinct from others, and influences behavior, emotions, and social interactions. During infancy and toddlerhood, self-concept emerges through perceptual experiences, language development, and feedback from caregivers.Mirror Self-RecognitionInfants show early interest in reflected images without initially recognizing themselves.
Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
