ANT211H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Cellular Differentiation, Blastocyst, Membrane Potential
Document Summary
Ant211 | lecture 4 hormones: sexual development and differentiation. Subjective sense of sexual excitement or arousal. Interaction between: cognitive information processing, central brain mechanisms. Life history strategy is a developmental chronology. Looking at different life stages and why things happen at these different stages: allocation of energy, resources that you allocate in different stages of your life in order to be successful in reproductivity.
