Causes: Cerebral palsy happens when the areas of the brain that control movement and posture do not develop correctly or get damaged. It causes damage to the motor control centers, which is also known as the Cerebellum, of the developing brain. and can occur during pregnacy , childbirth or after birth up to age three. Characteristics: Some characteristics of Cerebal Palsy is when you’re a baby you are often slow to roll over, sit, crawl, smile or walk. Others include: Lack of coordination Spasticity Muscle tightness or spasm Involuntary movement Different walking patterns Speech impairment Difficulty with gross & fine motor skills Abnormal perception & sensation An article that demonstrates Cerebral Palsy is http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1836774,00.html Definition Dwarfism is genetic abnormality that makes you have a short stature, usually an adult being less than 4 feet 10 inches, which result from about 200 different distinct medical conditions. This can happen in humans, animals and plants and it is where they are below the ordinary size of the species. Cause: Most cases of Dwarfism are unknown however most cases are caused from genetic disorders. This means during pregnancy the cells experience a random genetic mutation in either the father's sperm or the mother's egg. A mutation disease is called Turner Syndrome which is the random deletion or alteration of the X- chromosome (which is the female chromosome). Characteristics First off a characteristic is obviously below the ordinary size of humans, and usually under 4 feet 10 inches. Also you could have two normal size parents and you could have dwarfism. Vice versa, you could have two parents with dwarfism and be completely normal. When they are young they are very shy, have very bad tempers, and are always thirsty or hungry. At a young age is when you detect dwarfism. http://www.time.com/time/magazine /article/0,9171,838933,00.html Dwarfism http://www.pharmacyescrow.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Primordial-Dwarfism.jpg https://health.google.com/health/ref/Cerebral+palsy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_palsy http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cerebralpalsy.html http://www.bccerebralpalsy.com/characteristics.htm Citations! http://www.burke-eisner.com/media/cerebral-palsy-Small.JPG An article which emphasizes Dwarfism is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarfism http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dwarfism/DS01012 /DSECTION=causes
