What are the order of changes in puberty in girls

 What are the order of changes in puberty in girls?:
 What are the order of changes in puberty in boys?:
 Whose growth spurt occurs first?
 When are physical peaks and beginning of decline?:

- Peak from 19-26 or early adulthood
 Menopause and Andropause:
- Menopause:
- The time in middle age, usually in the late forties or early fifties, where a woman has
not had her menstrual period for a full year
- The average age of a woman having her last period is age 52
- Andropause:
- Includes fatigue and a decrease in libido in middle aged men, and attributed to a
gradual decline in testosterone levels
 Neuron, Basic Parts/Functions:
- Dendrites – Receive information from other neurons, muscles, or glands through the
axon
- Soma – Also known as the cell body
- Nucleus
- Axon – Transmit information away from the cell body
- Myelin – Speeds information transmission
- Axon Terminal
- Neurotransmitters – The communication in the synapse occurs through the release of
these chemicals
- Synaptic Vesicles – Store various neurotransmitters that are released at the synapse
- Synapse – The junction between two nerve cells
- Receptor – Responds to the neurotransmitter
 CNS: Brain and Spinal Cord:
- Special Protection:
- Encased in dura mater
- Floating in CSF
- Surrounded by cranial and spinal bones
 PNS: Motor, Sensory, and Autonomic Nerves:
- Somatosensory Input
- Motor Output
- Autonomic Nervous System:
- Sympathetic – Fight or Flight
- Mobilizes for energy, accelerates, diffuse and widespread, adrenaline, NE/E, pupils
dilate, HR increases, skin perspires, respiration and pulse increase
- Parasympathetic—Rest and digest
- Slows and digests, discrete, ACh, pupils constrict, HR decreases, skin dries,
respiration decreases, promotes digestion and salivation
 Know the Basic Functions of the Four Lobes:

- Frontal:
- Pre-Frontal Cortex: Strategy formation, associative learning, attention, risk taking,
rule breaking, motor inhibition, and smell
- Motor: Voluntary control of skeletal muscles, speech production (Broca’s Area)
- Parietal:
- Pain and position, touch sensory, math, body image, spatial ability and drawing,
contralateral
- Temporal:
- Hearing, speech comprehension (Wernicke’s area), categorization and organization,
memory, fear – contains amygdala and hippocampus
- Occipital:
- Vision
 Cerebellum, Subcortical Structures (Amygdala, Hippocampus and Hypothalamus):
- Cerebellum:
- Motor Coordination, motor or procedural memory
- Unconscious, implicit memory
- Amygdala:
- No amygdala, no fear
- Recognition of what to avoid
- Temporal Lobe
- Hippocampus:
- Conscious, declarative memory
- Hypothalamus:
- Behavioral expression of emotion (such as fight or flight), regulates sexual behavior
through hormones, thirst, hunger, body temperature
 Know specialization of the left and right hemispheres, which visual field send
information to each hemisphere and which side of the body each hemisphere controls:
