Compare the differences between adult and infant skin through multiple views of their microscopic structures. Infant skin is far more vulnerable than adult skin. The reason is due to such differences as the density of skin layers and the size and distribution of oil and sweat glands. An infant skin's surface is also less acidic, which means it is less resistant to microbial infections.
View multiple angles of the areas within a baby's brain where docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) is concentrated. Unlike fats that are burned for energy, DHA and ARA play key roles as structural and signaling components in cell membranes in the brain and eye.

View multiple angles of molecule models of the key growth nutrients casein, whey, DHA, ARA, Vitamin D and lactose.

The central nervous system is developed enough to control breathing and body temperature. Layers of fat are starting to add and muscle coordination is beginning. The spine is growing longer and stronger to support the fetus's growing body.
Compare the differences of unhealthy and healthy bone through multiple views of bone cross-sections. An infant's first year is defined by an astonishing rate of growth and development. Underlying the increase in the baby's weight, which can triple in 12 months, is the growth of the skeletal system.
