Difference between mature and immature muscluar system?

Answer 1

The difference between mature and immature systems

Nervous system: at birth the nervous system is immature. As the child grows, the quality of the nerve impulses sent through the nervous system develops and matures. As these nerve impulses become mature, the child's gross and fine motor skills increase in complexity. As a result the child becomes more co-ordinated and able to develop motor skills.

Respiratory system: Respiratory problems occur more often and with greater severity in infants and children than adults because of their immature body defenses and small, undeveloped body structure. The respiratory system grows and changes until the child is 12 years old.

Infants and young children have larger tongues in proportion to their mouths, shorter necks, narrower airways, and the structures are closer together. This leads to the possibility of there beings an instruction. Especially as the ability to breath through the mouth when the nose is blocked is not automatic but develops as the child's neurologic (nervous system) development increases.

Circulatory system: At birth both the right and left ventricles of the heart are about the same size, but a few months of age, the left ventricle is about two times the size of the right. The infants heart rate is higher than older child's or adults so that the there can be adequate amount of oxygen transported to the body. Although the size of the heart is smaller, it has matured, developed and functions just as the adult's.

Muscular system: As the child grows, the muscles become stronger and the child has an increase in the muscle tone, strength and co-ordination. The muscle fibres of young children are less well developed, until adolescence when there is a sudden surge of muscle growth in line with the differences between males and females may also have an impact bon the system as muscle strength is influenced by hormones.

Skeletal system: During childhood the bones are more sponge-like and can bend, break more easily than adults. In addition, because the bones are in still process of growing, breaks in the bone heal more quickly than breaks in adults. From this we can see that young children have a natural flexibility due to their bones being softer than older children and adults, but this flexibility can be lost if it is not encouraged and nurtured through exercise. The areas where bones meet, which make up the skull are called suture lines. Within the first two years of life these suture line fuse together.
