Growth in Humans
and Animals
Growth in Organisms
• Permanent process that involves the increase in the
number of cells, size, volume and weight of the organism’s
body.
• Involves in specialising the shapes and functions of cells.
• Important for the development and maturation of body
system.

• Parameter to measure the growth:


 Increase in size or volume
 Fresh weight – Less accurate because the amount of
fluid in the body depends on the organism’s fluid intake.
 Dry weight – Dried at 100°C and the organism has to be
killed

Intermittent Growth Curve of
Animal with Exoskeletons
• Animal with exoskeletons must shed their hard
exterior (known as ecdysis process) controlled by
hormones.
• The polar growth is intermittent.

LAG PHASE

• The growth rate is low because it involves little cell


division and cell elongation.
• The phase of adjustment to new sources available
in the environment.

EXPONENTIAL PHASE
• Highest growth rate.
• Cell division and elongation occurs actively
• Organism’s size increases rapidly.

STATIONARY PHASE
• Slow growth rate and occurs at a constant time.
• Cell reach maximum size.
• Cells undergo differentiation to form specialised
cells.

MATURITY PHASE
• Zero growth rate.
• Organism reaches maturity.
• The rate of cell division = the rate of cell death
• Cell division happens to replace impaired or dead
tissues.

SENESCENCE PHASE
• Negative growth rate.
• Organism goes through ageing

DEATH PHASE
• Ageing, illness
• Lack of nutrients or space.
