HUMAN DEVELOPMENT WEBQUEST How does a single-celled zygote develop into a trillion-celled embryo? 1. http://www.thevisualmd.com/# Select Video Library / From Conception To Birth. Watch the animation to get an idea of what is happening during fetal development 2. http://embryo.soad.umich.edu/ Your goal at this site is to develop a timeline of what happens in the nervous system ( neural tube brain &spinal cord; eyes, etc.), circulatory, and digestive systems, during each stage of development, Stage 13 (28 days)<----------------------------------------------------------------->Stage 23 (56 days) nervous system circulatory system digestive system Select the Human Embryo Atlas. View the animations (esp. the pseudo-time lapse one) and images at each stage. This will help you identify the organs in the MRI Slice Selector. Look at the center slice of the embryo on the right hand side from the MRI Slice Selector. Copy the slice labeled diffusion and paste it in to a MSWord document. Label the nervous system structures and any other organs that you can determine. What are the distinguishing characteristics of each stage? How long and wide (across abdomen) is the embryo? Use the scale bar in the image to help with your measurements. 3. http://www.visembryo.com/baby/index.html Use this site to help finish up your timeline for the 3 body systems above from fertilization to stage 13 and from stage 24 to birth. (there might not be anything new to include at some stages) What kinds of things can go wrong during pregnancy? What substances are harmful to the developing fetus? http://www.marchofdimes.com http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/AdolescentReproHealth/AboutTP.htm http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/infant_health.htm Teenage Pregnancy 1. What % of births in the US are to teenagers (15-19)? 2. What % of teenage girls become pregnant before they are 20? 3. Based on your research, explain why infants born to teenage mothers tend to have more developmental problems and have a higher mortality rate.
