The Extraordinary Making of You

The three-part docudrama series Countd take to Life The Extraordinary qualification of You, by Jonathan Renouf, Naomi Austin and Martin Johnson is depicted most the journey to discover the extremity of the defining of us, the human beings.Hosted by Michael Mosley the nonsubjective contains animations of fetal teaching and man-to-mans sharing their stories about their own birth faults eyepatch relating to the fetal cultureal process that happens prior to birth.Though the documental does not explain the human development process in exposit, I dogged that this was a good start for laymen who wants to comprehend the process of how us human beings be made from the point in time of conception to the point of birth at forty weeks.As a human being life story in the social community, we need a better understanding on how an individual operates either biologically, behaviourally or emotionally.The documentary emphatic on critical stages that happened before we were natura l and the consequences of having a defect when the developmental process was disrupted. In which it delivers, it in addition brought upon the uniqueness and differences of human beings in the concept of biology, foc apply in particular in communicables.In the following paragraphs, while basing on the documentary I pass on explain more in details on the critical stages of fetal development process with in-depth explanations of the defects that could occur in spite of appearance these stages.The foremost episode of the documentary series ventures well-nigh the processes that happens to the fertilized egg during the first eight weeks in the uterus.It shows how the human development began with the process called dressing where the male gamete, sperm unneurotic with the charrly gamete, the oocyte, fused and unite to give rustle to a zygote (Sadler Langman, 2012). Two sets of cistrontic instructions, half from each pargonnt combine to cr eradicatee unique genetic formula fo r one human being.Occasionally, instead of forming nevertheless one zygote, the cell divides to become kindred correspond, triplets, and in r be cases, even quadrangle cases. Holly, Jessica, Ellie and Georgie, are one of the rare undistinguishable quadruplets in which it was mentioned that the odds of having 4 genetically resembling individuals are one in 64 million.A theory was presented for how split embryos nates be formed and it was due(p) to the partition of vital communication betwixt the cells causing clumps of cells to get separated and went on to create separate individuals. This shows that just from a simple yet complicated breakdown process that occurs between the cells, it could affect the piece of individuals to be formed, causing the creation of akin twins. This however, does not applies to what we called fraternal twins.In biology, identical twins are termed as monozygotic twins while fraternal twins are termed dizygotic twins. jibe to Lakna (2017), on h er article Difference between monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins, she explained that dizygotic twins are developed from totally devil unalike eggs, which are fertilized by sperms separately.When a woman is pregnant with fraternal twins, it is like having two pregnancies at one simultaneous time. strange identical twins that are genetically similar, fraternal twins are in all different individuals that does not share the same(p) genetic properties. It is mesmerising to find that human could be undergoing the same process yet so different, due to simple twists just within five long time of conception.I was stupefy by the next fact that I found from the documentary. It was claimed that around 200 hours by and by conception, changes that occurred in the embryo can square up the lifespan of an individual. Based on septettety-year research done in Keneba,Gambia that study on this matter, children conceived during dry months are at seven times higher risk of death rate compared to that of children conceived during unwavering months.In dry season, mothers eat more calorie-rich grains compared to mothers who conceive in the wet season, who eat more leafy greens. The moleculer chemical substance from the vegetables combines with the strand of DNA and changes how some our genes browse permanently, affecting our lifespan.In many socio-cultural norms in the world, the expression eating for two is radiation diagramly heard to refer to pregnant women in regards to their dietary habits. Ellis, Giannetti, and Fagan (2011) conducted an analysis of relationship of mothers nutritional intake with the effect on her development fetus in life. In the analysis, the authors verbalize that, the most primary(prenominal) thing a mother can do during motherliness is take care of her own dust so that the baby can blast later in life.Hence, it is snuff it that mother plays important role in determining the health of the future coevals that will be born, either physicall y, metabolically, psychologically or genetically.Melanie Gaydos story is one of the stories that remained inbuilt in my mind from the moment I watched it.From the story, I knew that her birth defect has bear on her deeply in psychosocial aspect and influenced the flows of her life, do her for who she was. Her story discussed on what happened to a fetus within the first fifteen days after conception.The cells began to transform into over four hundred different cell types to shape up parts of the trunk. Human beings are made up of three layers of cells ectoderm, mesoblast and endoderm. Any defect during this point of shift could nurture practiced defects to the embryo, such as in Gaydos case, ectodermal dysplasia.Ectodermal dysplasia is a group of inherited disorders characterised by defect in hair, teeth, nails, or sweat secreter function, in addition to other ab formulaities in the ectodermal tissues.The disease is caused by alteration or deletion of particular genes fix ed on different chromosomes and it either can be passed down the family line, or the mutation occurred de novo (Bhaudaria, Sharma, & Prajapat, 2014). Talking about genes, the documentary also shared the story of Nell who inherited an bare(a) growth gene from her father.Unlike her, a normal embryo inherits one entirely growth gene from both enate and maternal origin and each of the gene balance one another to produce a normal-sized embryo. This defect made her a large for gestational age (LGA) fetus and the extra gene has stimulated the overproduction of growth hormone, IGF-2.She became morphologically larger than her peers and consequently, undetermined her to a high risk of cancer. From their cases, it is important that we need to have a normal gene development to ensure a normal development of self.In our embody, we have hair-like projections called cilia to hold the proper placement of organs in our body.The process usually occurs around nineteen days after conception. Av erage normal human beings have their nitty-grittys find on the left side of the body and the liver is located on the mature side. In rare instances, there are cases where the organs are located in totally opposite sites like a mirror image and this happened to Randy Foye.His shape is called dextrocardia. Maldjian and Saric (2007) wrote a review on dextrocardia. According to their review, dextrocardia is a heart positional unusual person in which heart is located in the reform hemithorax with its base-to-apex axis directed to the right and is caused by intrinsic factors of the heart itself.Since I was a medical student before, I could assure that his condition would definitely stupefy any doctors of any level of accept during the regular medical check-up session. Fortunately, according to the documentary the condition did no harm to his body and he could live as a normal living being, outwardly. Commonly, dextrocardia is accompanied by cardiac anomalies (Maldjian & Saric, 200 7).The formation of the heart itself began when the embryo was initially a flat disc. It whence folded and became a neural tube and the edges came together to form a spinal cord. Eventually, vulgar heart was created and within five weeks of pregnancy, it could already be detected by using ultrasound.Heart anomalies are extremely serious that some babies need an immediate performance right after born. Examples of congenital heart defects are right ventricular hypertrophy, aortal valve stenosis, coarctation of aorta or atrial septal defect.
