Limbs and girdles are rings of bones that attach each limb pair to the axial, or central, part of the skeleton. The hands are attached at the wrist joints and the feet are attached at the ankle joints. The hand contains 27 bones divided into carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The foot contains 26 bones divided into tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges. Who knew a hand and a foot individually have so many bones? Unlike scaffolding, which is the regrowth of bones, bones change all the time. They grow in step with the rest of the body and can repair minor fractures and some major breaks. More than 400 separate joints make it possible to move, which is any part of the skeleton where two or more bones fit together.

The University of Adelaide Human Research Ethics Committee reviewed and approved the study and all study procedures were conducted in accordance with the Helsinki declaration. 557 women completed the pregnancy phase of the study. Mothers and children were followed up during the child’s infancy and childhood. Data were collected at 16 and 32 weeks gestation, birth, at ages 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, and at 2, 3½, 5 and 9 years. Measurements of body size were taken at birth, 6, 9 and 12 months, and 2, 3½ and 9 years using protocols based on World Health Organization guidelines. “BMI at age 9 was also categorized using the IOTF (International Obesity Task Force) cutoffs based on the child’s age and sex, to match the adult BMI cutoffs for overweight/obesity (Growth Trajectories in Early Childhood, …show more content…
For example, autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that could lead to disabilities or even death. A diagnosis of autism only occurs in infants if at least one of the following symptoms are observed before age three. “The social interactions of individuals with autism are strikingly abnormal, ranging from self-imposed isolation to somewhat engaged but inappropriate social behavior (Slaughter, 2017, para. 12)”. Typically, those with autism avoid eye contact. They also lack in appropriate facial expressions and they generally do not present social gesturing or body language. Individuals with autism do not smile in response, nor do they attempt to comfort others in distress. While most children with autism create attachments to their parents/caregivers, there is a lack of social interactions, even with close others. It is often said that individuals with autism relate to people as objects and not other human beings. An example of a child with autism would be placing an adult’s hand on a door, versus telling the adult that the door be opened. People with autism share common stereotypies such as hand flapping or even whole body movements. Autistic children sometimes create behavioral patterns such as self-biting or head banging. Pica can even be developed, which is when things like paper or dirt are eaten. Because autistic children lack in social interactions, peer relationships tend
