Description

The cardiovascular system (cardio- heart; vascular blood vessels) consists of three interrelated components: blood, the heart, and blood vessels. In the embryo, the heart begins to beat at 4 weeks of age, even before its nerve supply has been established The heart pumps blood through blood vessels to all body tissues. the heart beats about 100,000 times every day When sleeping, the heart pumps 30 times its own weight (5 L) each minute, which amounts to more than 14,000 liters of blood in a day and 10 million liters in a year

STAGES OF PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT Trending!
The human life cycle may be said to begin with fertilization and then proceed through prenatal growth and development, birth, postnatal growth and development, maturity, senescence, and death. While you might think of child development as something that begins during infancy, the prenatal period is also considered an important part of the developmental process. Prenatal development is a time of remarkable change that helps set the stage for future psychological development. The brain develops over the course of the prenatal period, but it will continue to go through more changes during the early years of childhood. The process of prenatal development occurs in three main stages. The first two weeks after conception are known as the germinal stage, the third through the eighth week is known as the embryonic period, and the time from the ninth week until birth is known as the fetal period.
