Living Things Undergo Life
Processes
D.)HUMAN REPRODUCTION
Process
Human reproduction begins with sexual intercourse, followed by nine
months of pregnancy before childbirth. Many years of parental care are
required before a human child becomes independent.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy is the period of time during which the fetus develops, dividing via
mitosis inside the female. During this time, the fetus receives all of its
nutrition and oxygenated blood from the female, filtered through the
placenta, which is attached to the fetus'
abdomen via an
umbilical cord. This drain of
nutrients can be quite taxing on the female, who is required to ingest slightly higher levels of
calories. In addition, certain
vitamins
and other nutrients are required in greater quantities than normal,
often creating abnormal eating habits. Gestation period is about 266
days in humans.
Birth
Once the fetus are sufficiently developed, chemical signals start the
process of birth, which begins with the fetus being pushed out of the
birthing canal. The newborn, which is called an
Infant in humans, should typically begin
respiration
on its own shortly after birth. Not long after, the placenta eventually
falls off on its own. The Person assisting the birth will usually
detach the mother from the baby using a Cutting tool there by, cutting
it off.
Parental care
Human babies are nearly helpless and require high levels of
parental care for many years. One important type of parental care is
nursing – feeding the baby milk from the mother's
mammary glands in her
breasts.

Political and social
There are groups promoting more human reproduction and those who think reproduction ought to be limited.
Natalism promotes reproduction, while anti-natalism promotes
birth control as a solution to
overpopulation and its effects.
