Human Growth & Development


Human Growth Fast Facts:

  • As a human grows, cell numbers increase as a result of mitosis, followed by enlargement of the newly formed cells and of the body.
  • The diverse parts of our bodies—the many specialized cells that form tissues, organs, and organ systems—originated from just one cell.
  • These life phases include a prenatal period, which begins with the fertilization of an egg cell and ends at birth, and a postnatal period, which begins at birth and ends with death.
